CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 391

A network administrator is setting up a wireless network with poor security for a computer science class to hack. Which of the following security methods would be
MOST easily circumvented?

Answer options

• A. MAC filtering
• B. WPA
• C. WPA2
• D. Shared key

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Shared key, as it relies on a single password for access, making it vulnerable to interception and brute-force attacks. In contrast, MAC filtering, WPA, and WPA2 provide stronger security measures that are harder to bypass compared to a simple shared key system.
