Question #11 (Topic: Topic 1)
Given: John Smith uses a coffee shop's Internet hot-spot (no authentication or encryption)
to transfer funds between his checking and savings accounts at his bank's website. The
banks website uses the HTTPS protocol to protect sensitive account information. While
John was using the hot-spot, a hacker was able to obtain Johns bank account user ID and
password and exploit this information.
What likely scenario could have allowed the hacker to obtain Johns bank account user ID
and password?
to transfer funds between his checking and savings accounts at his bank's website. The
banks website uses the HTTPS protocol to protect sensitive account information. While
John was using the hot-spot, a hacker was able to obtain Johns bank account user ID and
password and exploit this information.
What likely scenario could have allowed the hacker to obtain Johns bank account user ID
and password?
A. John's bank is using an expired X.509 certificate on their web server. The certificate is on John's Certificate Revocation List (CRL), causing the user ID and password to be sent unencrypted.
B. John uses the same username and password for banking that he does for email. John used a POP3 email client at the wireless hot-spot to check his email, and the user ID and password were not encrypted.
C. John accessed his corporate network with his IPSec VPN software at the wireless hot- spot. An IPSec VPN only encrypts data, so the user ID and password were sent in clear text. John uses the same username and password for banking that he does for his IPSec VPN software.
D. The banks web server is using an X.509 certificate that is not signed by a root CA, causing the user ID and password to be sent unencrypted.
E. Before connecting to the bank’s website, John’s association to the AP was hijacked. The attacker intercepted the HTTPS public encryption key from the bank’s web server and has decrypted John’s login credentials in near real-time.
Answer: B
Question #12 (Topic: Topic 1)
Given: The Aircrack-ng WLAN software tool can capture and transmit modified 802.11
frames over the wireless network. It comes pre-installed on Kali Linux and some other
Linux distributions.
What are three uses for such a tool? (Choose 3)
frames over the wireless network. It comes pre-installed on Kali Linux and some other
Linux distributions.
What are three uses for such a tool? (Choose 3)
A. Transmitting a deauthentication frame to disconnect a user from the AP.
B. Auditing the configuration and functionality of a WIPS by simulating common attack sequences
C. Probing the RADIUS server and authenticator to expose the RADIUS shared secret
D. Cracking the authentication or encryption processes implemented poorly in some WLANs
Answer: A,B,D
Question #13 (Topic: Topic 1)

Question #14 (Topic: Topic 1)
You are configuring seven APs to prevent common security attacks. The APs are to be
installed in a small business and to reduce costs, the company decided to install all
consumer-grade wireless routers. The wireless routers will connect to a switch, which
connects directly to the Internet connection providing 50 Mbps of Internet bandwidth that
will be shared among 53 wireless clients and 17 wired clients.
To ensure the wireless network is as secure as possible from common attacks, what
security measure can you implement given only the hardware referenced?
