Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

When a successful WPS attack happens it means that the default username and password, among other credentials, have not been changed on the router. It means that if the user hasn't changed the username and the password, anyone with the necessary skills can get into the settings and allow any other user to use the network, which also explains the unknown devices on the network.

Answer:

Option (A) A successful WPS attack has occurred

Explanation:

  • WPS stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
  • Its a network security protocol in the Wi-Fi which has a vulnerability.
  • The connection to the Wi-Fi can be established through the router in four ways. They are
  • (a) PIN method
  • (b) Push button method
  • (c) Near field communication method
  • (d) USB Method.
  • Out of all the modes to be connected to the network, the PIN method has a flaw in it.
  • In this PIN method, an attacker can brute force the PIN (guessing the PIN by some techniques) and gain unauthorized access to the network.
  • In the given case in the question, the network administrator finds that multiple unauthorized devices has gained access to the network.
  • Option (A) is correct.
  • Option (B) ARP Poisoning, (C) botnet and (D) Evil Twin attack are different and so are the wrong options.

user100 [1]

Answer:

1. The Sun is the primary source of energy that influences any planet's temperature, including Earth. The amount of energy received from the Sun is called insolation; the ratio reflected is called the albedo.

2.There are three major ways in which global warming will make changes to regional climate: melting or forming ice, changing the hydrological cycle (of evaporation and precipitation) and changing currents in the oceans and air flows in the atmosphere

3.The warming of Earth is primarily due to accumulation of heat-trapping greenhouse gases, and more than 90 percent of this trapped heat is absorbed by the oceans. As this heat is absorbed, ocean temperatures rise and water expands. This thermal expansion contributes to an increase in global sea level.

4.The main sources of greenhouse gases due to human activity are: burning fossil fuels leading to higher carbon dioxide concentrations. farming and forestry — including land use change via agriculture and livestock. cement manufacture.

5. - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
