Exam 312-50v13 topic 1 question 22 discussion

The aLTEr attack is a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack on LTE networks that allows attackers to redirect user traffic to malicious websites by exploiting vulnerabilities in the LTE (4G) protocol encryption.

The correct answer is: A. aLTEr attack However, I think there might be a slight mistake in the answer. Based on the scenario, I believe the correct answer is actually: IMSI Catcher attack (also known as a "Stingray" attack) But since that's not an option, I'll explain why I think aLTEr attack is not the correct answer: aLTEr attack is a type of attack that targets LTE networks, but it's not typically associated with hijacking wireless communications or redirecting users to malicious websites. On the other hand, an IMSI Catcher attack (or Stingray attack) involves using a fake cell tower to intercept and manipulate wireless communications. This is exactly what Bobby did in the scenario

aLTEr attack is an attack that uses dns spoofing to perform MITM attacks, attacker sets up a fake cell tower, pretends to be the victim of the real network and tries to intercept traffic
