CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 810

Which of the following types of attacks can be used to gain credentials by setting up rogue APs with identical corporate SSIDs?

Answer options

• A. VLAN hopping
• B. Evil twin
• C. DNS poisoning
• D. Social engineering

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Evil twin' because it describes an attack where a rogue access point is set up to mimic a legitimate one, tricking users into connecting and revealing their credentials. VLAN hopping, DNS poisoning, and social engineering are different types of attacks that do not specifically involve creating fake access points for credential theft.
