CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 13

Which of the following attacks can cause users who are attempting to access a company website to be directed to an entirely different website?

Answer options

• A. DNS poisoning
• B. Denial-of-service
• C. Social engineering
• D. ARP spoofing

Correct answer: A

Explanation

DNS poisoning is the correct answer because it manipulates DNS records to redirect users to malicious sites. Denial-of-service attacks aim to make a website unavailable, not redirect users. Social engineering involves tricking individuals into revealing information, and ARP spoofing targets local network traffic rather than web redirection.
