During a wireless security assessment on a corporate campus, you spot two access points broadcasting the organization's "CorpSecure" SSID. One beacon is the legitimate AP on channel 6. A second device with an unknown MAC operates on channel 11, offers stronger signal from the parking lot, and tunnels client traffic over cellular. Which wireless threat is illustrated?
An evil twin access point impersonating the legitimate WLAN
A rogue access point plugged into the corporate wired network
An attempt to conceal the network by disabling SSID broadcasts
A jamming attack using a high-gain antenna to disrupt service
An evil twin attack involves deploying a look-alike access point that advertises the same SSID as the legitimate WLAN but with a stronger signal, luring clients to connect so the attacker can intercept or relay their traffic-often through another network such as cellular. A rogue access point is generally any unauthorized device plugged into the internal LAN; jamming focuses on radio-frequency interference rather than impersonation; disabling SSID broadcast merely hides the network and does not fool clients into joining a fake AP.
