Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v12) — Question 119

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, as it refers to a rogue access point that mimics a legitimate one, allowing unauthorized users to connect. The other options do not fit this scenario: A (Wardriving) involves searching for wireless networks from a moving vehicle, B (Wireless sniffing) pertains to intercepting data packets, and D (Piggybacking) refers to unauthorized access through a shared connection rather than the presence of a fake access point.
