CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 213

Which of the following would an adversary do while conducting an evil twin attack?

Answer options

• A. Trick users into using an AP with an SSID that is identical to a legitimate network.
• B. Manipulate address resolution to point devices to a malicious endpoint.
• C. Present an identical MAC to gain unauthorized access to network resources.
• D. Capture data in transit between two legitimate endpoints to steal data.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because in an evil twin attack, the attacker creates a rogue access point with the same SSID as a legitimate one to deceive users into connecting. Options B, C, and D describe different types of attacks that do not specifically relate to the mechanics of an evil twin attack.
