Wireless networks pose a threat to all who use them. Wireless networks lack the safety associated with having one’s communications securely transmitted inside physical cabling. With wireless communications, the air is the transmission medium and that medium is accessible to anyone who wants to listen. This has led to many tools, which were developed to aid the curious in eavesdropping on other people’s wireless communications.
These tools are most often created for network management or troubleshooting and include some powerful capabilities. Often, these same tools have a very dark side if used for that particular purpose.
Multiple-choice questions are one of the most popular question types that present a question or statement with a list of possible answers. The below listed MCQs covers all important topics of wireless security and networking.
