Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13) — Question 60

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 malicious access point that impersonates a legitimate one, allowing unauthorized users to connect. A is incorrect because wardriving involves searching for unsecured networks, not exploiting secured ones. B is wrong as wireless sniffing pertains to capturing data packets, which doesn't explain the unauthorized access. D is also incorrect because piggybacking implies using someone else's connection with their knowledge, which isn’t the case here.
