Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 194

Jane invites her friends Alice and John over for a LAN party. Alice and John access Jane's wireless network without a password. However, Jane has a long, complex password on her router. What attack has likely occurred?

Answer options

• A. Wardriving
• B. Wireless sniffing
• C. Evil twin
• D. Piggybacking

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Evil twin, which refers to a malicious access point that mimics a legitimate one, allowing unauthorized access. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because wardriving involves searching for wireless networks, wireless sniffing refers to capturing network traffic, and piggybacking typically describes unauthorized access to a network by using an already connected device.
