You are a penetration tester for a network security consulting company. You are currently on-site at a customer's premises and are doing your first analysis of the customer's network security. You check if they are using Wi-Fi and find that they are using a deprecated protocol with known vulnerabilities. Which of the options is most likely being used?
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) was a commonly used security protocol for encrypted wireless networks. It has been deprecated and is outdated with known vulnerabilities. WEP should not be used; instead, a newer and more robust option like WPA2 or WPA3 should be implemented.
