While staying at a hotel, a user attempts to connect to the hotel Wi-Fi but notices that multiple SSIDs have very similar names. Which of the following social-engineering attacks is being attempted?
Evil twin attacks are a type of Man in the Middle (MitM) attack in which a fake Wi-Fi network is set up to steal information or further infiltrate a connecting device. This is often done in public settings where people are most likely to look for or connect to freely available Wi-Fi
An Evil Twin is a fraudulent Wi-Fi access point that appears to be legitimate but is set up to eavesdrop on wireless communications so you access the Internet through their portal and they can capture all your network traffic.
They can utilize the Karma Attack to exploit behavior of Wi-Fi devices that have a lack of access point authentication protocols being implemented. A vulnerable client can have their broadcast their Preferred Network List (PNL), which is any network that device previously connected to and automatically connect to those networks when in range if auto connect setting is turned on.
Karma attack finds PNL broadcast list to know what network name it needs to inject itself (Evil Twin).
