CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 506

Several unauthorized APs near the corporate headquarters are broadcasting similar SSIDs. Which of the following types of attacks is being described?

Answer options

• A. Evil twin
• B. Wi-Fi jamming
• C. On-path
• D. Wardriving

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The situation described is an example of an 'Evil twin' attack, where a rogue AP mimics a legitimate AP's SSID to deceive users into connecting. 'Wi-Fi jamming' involves disrupting signals rather than impersonating a legitimate connection. 'On-path' refers to intercepting communications between a user and a server, while 'Wardriving' is the act of searching for Wi-Fi networks, not creating rogue APs.
