RC4 is known to be a good stream generator. RC4 is used within the WEP standard on wireless LAN. WEP is known to be insecure even if we are using a stream
cipher that is known to be secured.
What is the most likely cause behind this?
In an attempt to secure his wireless network, Bob turns off broadcasting of the SSID. He concludes that since his access points require the client computer to have
the proper SSID, it would prevent others from connecting to the wireless network. Unfortunately unauthorized users are still able to connect to the wireless network.
Why do you think this is possible?
While probing an organization you discover that they have a wireless network. From your attempts to connect to the WLAN you determine that they have deployed
MAC filtering by using ACL on the access points. What would be the easiest way to circumvent and communicate on the WLAN?
Access control is often implemented through the use of MAC address filtering on wireless Access Points. Why is this considered to be a very limited security
measure?
On wireless networks, SSID is used to identify the network. Why are SSID not considered to be a good security mechanism to protect a wireless networks?
Jackson discovers that the wireless AP transmits 128 bytes of plaintext, and the station responds by encrypting the plaintext. It then transmits the resulting
ciphertext using the same key and cipher that are used by WEP to encrypt subsequent network traffic. What authentication mechanism is being followed here?
Matthew re-injects a captured wireless packet back onto the network. He does this hundreds of times within a second. The packet is correctly encrypted and
Matthew assumes it is an ARP request packet. The wireless host responds with a stream of responses, all individually encrypted with different IVs.
What is this attack most appropriately called?
