Question 1

A(n) ____ is the sequence of characters that is attached to each packet sent over a wireless network and is used to identify that network.
A) access point
B) chipset
C) channel
D) service set ID

Accepted Answer

A Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the sequence of characters attached to each packet sent over a wireless network to identify that network.

Question 2

A ____ is simply a group of circuits or microchips designed to work together.
A) chipset
B) gateway
C) narrowband
D) channel

Accepted Answer

A chipset is a collection of electronic components or integrated circuits designed to work together, typically within a computer or other electronic system, to manage data flow between the processor, memory, and peripherals.

Question 3

____ allows for the interconnecting of any type of fixed network technology and provides separate Quality of Service (QoS) for separate connections.
A) Bluetooth
B) Spread spectrum
C) HiperLAN2
D) Narrowband

Accepted Answer

HiperLAN2 is designed to allow for the interconnection of various types of fixed network technologies while also providing distinct Quality of Service (QoS) levels for different connections, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including those requiring high-quality service guarantees.

Question 4

____ antennas obtain millimeter waves using dielectric guides, microstrip lines, coplanar lines, and slot lines.
A) Leaky wave
B) Omnidirectional
C) Reflector
D) Monopole

Accepted Answer

Leaky wave antennas are designed to use various transmission line structures, including dielectric guides, microstrip lines, coplanar lines, and slot lines, to obtain millimeter waves. These structures support the propagation of waves along the antenna, allowing for controlled leakage of energy into the surrounding space, which is a characteristic feature of leaky wave antennas.

Question 5

A(n) ____ is a piece of wireless communication hardware that creates a central point of wireless connectivity.
A) hot-spot gateway
B) access point
C) wireless gateway
D) wireless router

Accepted Answer

An access point is a device that creates a wireless local area network, or WLAN, usually in an office or large building. It connects to a wired router, switch, or hub via an Ethernet cable, and projects a Wi-Fi signal to a designated area.

Question 6

The ____ provides a guarantee that each data packet has been sent with its own encryption key.
A) Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol
B) Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
C) Extensible Authentication Protocol
D) Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service

Accepted Answer

The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is designed to provide a more secure encryption method for Wi-Fi networks by ensuring that each data packet is sent with its own unique encryption key. This addresses vulnerabilities in older encryption methods like WEP.

Question 7

____ is a script that can be run against a file containing raw captured traffic.
A) AirSnort
B) Kismet
C) NetStumbler
D) WEPCrack

Accepted Answer

WEPCrack is a tool that can be used to analyze captured traffic to crack WEP encryption keys.

Question 8

____ is a Linux-based program that exploits the weak-IV (initialization vector) problem inherent in static WEP.
A) AirSnort
B) Kismet
C) NetStumbler
D) WEPCrack

Accepted Answer

AirSnort is a Linux-based program that exploits the weak-IV problem in static WEP to recover encryption keys.

Question 9

The ____ tool is a WEP and WPA cracking suite that performs various statistical attacks to discover WEP keys with small amounts of captured data, combined with brute forcing.
A) WEPCrack
B) NetworkView
C) Aircrack-ng
D) Monkey-Jack

Accepted Answer

Aircrack-ng is a well-known tool for cracking WEP and WPA keys, utilizing statistical attacks to find WEP keys with minimal data and incorporating brute force attacks for more complex encryption like WPA.

Question 10

____ is a lightweight, easily configured Domain Name System (DNS) forwarder and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
A) NetworkView
B) KisMAC
C) Airpwn
D) Dnsmasq

Accepted Answer

Dnsmasq is designed to provide DNS and DHCP services to a small-scale network, making it a lightweight, easily configured option for handling domain name resolution and dynamic IP address assignment.
