In a security penetration exercise, a WLAN consultant obtains the WEP key of XYZ Corporation’s wireless network. Demonstrating the vulnerabilities of using WEP, the consultant uses a laptop running a software AP in an attempt to hijack the authorized user’s connections. XYZ’s legacy network is using 802.11n APs with 802.11b, 11g, and 11n client devices.
With this setup, how can the consultant cause all of the authorized clients to establish Layer 2 connectivity with the software access point?
A . When the RF signal between the clients and the authorized AP is temporarily disrupted and the consultant’s software AP is using the same SSID on a different channel than the authorized AP, the clients will reassociate to the software A
C . If the consultant’s software AP broadcasts Beacon frames that advertise 802.11g data rates that are faster rates than XYZ’s current 802.11b data rates, all WLAN clients will reassociate to the faster A
E . A higher SSID priority value configured in the Beacon frames of the consultant’s software AP will take priority over the SSID in the authorized AP, causing the clients to reassociate.
F . All WLAN clients will reassociate to the consultant’s software AP if the consultant’s software AP provides the same SSID on any channel with a 10 dB SNR improvement over the authorized A
