Comptia Security +: Wireless Security

Instructions:
  • Answer 37 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

22. Security issues - if not using WTLS data is transmitted in clear and even usging WTLS data is clear while it is being converted from WSP to HTTP






23. SSID stands for...






24. IEEE authentication method for wireless networks developed to address weakness of WEP - supports user authentication rather than MAC address






25. An 802.11 wireless authentication method where client only communicate directly with the access point






26. Wireless authentication method where both the SSID and encryption key are required - subject to man in the middle attacks

36. Wireless authentication method - also known as ad hoc - where the user must know the SSID or if using WEP the secret key






37. Theft of data by connecting to bluetooth device
