What is an 'Evil twin' in the context of network security?
A type of network encryption protocol.
A duplicate network cable installed to reroute data.
A rogue Wi-Fi access point set up to mimic a legitimate one to intercept data.
A software tool used by network administrators to monitor network traffic.
An 'Evil twin' is a rogue Wi-Fi access point that appears to be legitimate but is set up to eavesdrop on wireless communications. This type of attack involves configuring an access point with the same SSID as a trusted network to trick users into connecting. Once victims join, the attacker can capture or manipulate their traffic. The other listed choices describe unrelated concepts-network cabling, traffic-analysis software, and an encryption protocol-not the deceptive wireless technique used in an evil twin attack.
