Question #: 144
Topic #: 1
[All 312-50v12 Questions]

You are a cybersecurity consultant for a major airport that offers free Wi-Fi to travelers. The management is concerned about the possibility of "Evil Twin" attacks, where a malicious actor sets up a rogue access point that mimics the legitimate one. They are looking for a solution that would not significantly impact the user experience or require travelers to install additional software. What is the most effective security measure you could recommend that fits these constraints, considering the airport's unique operational environment?

  • A. Regularly change the SSID of the airport's Wi-Fi network
  • B. Use MAC address filtering on the airport's Wi-Fi network
  • C. Implement WPA3 encryption for the airport's Wi-Fi network
  • D. Display a captive portal page that warns users about the possibility of Evil Twin attacks

Selected Answer: D
I'd go with D, while implementing WPA3 encryption is always good to strengthen the security of the wifi. But it only protect the actual airport's wifi and doesn't properly address the issue of possible evil twin attack. So D is the best answer available in my opinion.

Selected Answer: D
I have seen several stupid questions in this dump. This is one of them. I am assuming they want you to select C because WPA3 it talked about helping prevent evil twins. But in reality it can't protect against an evil twin, it can make your connection more secure if you are connected to a WPA3 connection but it can't negate or stop you from connecting to an evil twin which is why the real answer here should be D, but on the test I would probably answer C because if you do any research about WPA3 and its benefits compared to previous versions preventing evil twins in mentioned but it really doesn't do anything against an evil twin. I'm pretty sure I read about it in a SANS book as well about how WPA3 helps protect against evil twins.

Selected Answer: C
WPA3 will keep people from being disconnected and possibly connected to Evil Twin. WPA3 focus on encryption not authentication(no open network provides auth). You still need to deploy rogue-AP detection or wireless intrusion prevention/detection systems to prevent wireless attacks.

Selected Answer: C
Chat GPT Response: The most effective and practical solution that fits the given constraints is Option C: Implement WPA3 encryption for the airport's Wi-Fi network. This approach enhances security without significantly impacting the user experience or requiring the installation of additional software. It directly addresses the vulnerability to "Evil Twin" attacks by ensuring that the connection between the user's device and the Wi-Fi network is securely encrypted, making it much more difficult for attackers to mimic or intercept communications.
