Question


An attacker Debbie is preparing to perform an eavesdropping attack at a hotspot. Like most hotspots, this one uses no encryption, so the attacker knows she can view the data frames easily. She runs Xirrus/inSSIDer and determines that there are two APs providing coverage in her area. One is on channel 1, and the other is on channel 11. From the list below choose to which AP will she need to associate in order to launch the eavesdropping attack?. Justify your choices. A. Both B. The one on channel 1 C. The one on channel 11 D. Neither

Explanation / Answer

Option D Neither

Debbie does not need any AP's to eavesdrop on the given network. She can simply start her WLAN protocol analyzer and capture frames on channel 1 or 11.
