Question

In which technique does an attacker acquire a trusted address that allows the attacker to communicate with the access point?

Answer 1

Answer:

Network / MAC Sniffing

Explanation:

Network sniffing is the method of intercepting packets of data sent through a network. A specialized software or hardware equipment can do this.

Computer systems interact via IP addresses by broadcasting messages over a network.

When a signal is sent to a system, the receiver's machine with the matching IP address will respond with its MAC address.

MAC Sniffing can:

• Collect sensitive information like login information
• Conduct surveillance on text conversations
• Save files which were transmitted across a network
