CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 189

A network security engineer locates an unapproved wireless bridge connected to the corporate LAN that is broadcasting a hidden SSID, providing unauthenticated access to internal resources. Which of the following types of attacks BEST describes this finding?

Answer options

• A. Rogue access point
• B. Evil twin
• C. ARP spoofing
• D. VLAN hopping

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Rogue access point' because it specifically refers to unauthorized devices that connect to a network and pose security risks. An 'Evil twin' is a type of rogue access point that mimics a legitimate one, while 'ARP spoofing' and 'VLAN hopping' are different forms of network attacks that do not directly involve unauthorized access points.
