CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 261

An instructor is teaching a hands-on wireless security class and needs to configure a test access point to show students an attack on a weak protocol. Which of the following configurations should the instructor implement?

Answer options

• A. WPA2
• B. WPA
• C. EAP
• D. WEP

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, WEP, as it is known for its weak security and vulnerabilities, making it a suitable target for demonstration of attacks. WPA2 and WPA are both stronger protocols that provide better security, while EAP is an authentication framework, not a standalone protocol for wireless security.
