Answer:

Zero-day exploits

Explanation:

Zero-day exploits refers to recently found vulnerabilities in a computer software program that has been in existence but was hitherto not known and addressed by the software security experts, however, these vulnerabilities were known to hackers. While the existence of these "loop-holes" in the software can go on unnoticed for several years, hackers can take advantage of it to cause harm to the computers' programs and data.

When these attacks occur, it is called a zero-day because the attack took place on the very day that the loop-hole was discovered in the software. So exploitation has already taken place before a fix is carried out.

In step 4 of the CSMA/CA protocol, a station that successfully transmits a frame begins the CSMA/CA protocol for a second frame

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

There could be a collision if a hidden node problem occurs.

Explanation:

CSMA/CA(carrier sense multiple access/ collision avoidance) is a multiple access method in wireless networking, that allows multiple node to transmit. Collision avoidance of this method is based on preventing signal loss or downtime as a result of collision of transmitting multi signals.

If a node at step 4(transmit frame) sends the first frame, the node still needs to send a RTS(request to send) and to receive a Clear to send (CTS) from the WAP, the is to mitigate the issue of hidden node problem as all frame are treated as unit, so other listening nodes, not detected would seek to connect and transmit as well.
