During an assessment, a penetration tester was able to access the organization's wireless network from outside of the building using a laptop running Aircrack-ng. Which of the following should be recommended to the client to remediate this issue?
During an assessment, a penetration tester was able to access the organization's wireless network from outside of the building using a laptop running Aircrack-ng. Which of the following should be recommended to the client to remediate this issue?
The best recommendation to remediate the issue of a penetration tester accessing the organization's wireless network using Aircrack-ng is to change to Wi-Fi equipment that supports strong encryption. Strong encryption standards like WPA2 or WPA3 significantly improve the security of the wireless network, making it much more difficult for unauthorized attackers to crack the encryption and gain access. While other measures such as using directional antennae or disabling Wi-Fi might mitigate the issue to some extent, they do not address the core problem of insecure or weak encryption.
This is B. They need to keep their wifi limited to the inside of the building by either using a directional antennae or reducing the power.
Why not B? Should the wifi be accessible outside of the building?
A is the correct answer
Disabling Wi-Fi might be a practicable stopgap for IMMEDIATE remediation, but the question seems to suggest the best long-term fix. The employees most likely need to access the network wirelessly for their work. You need to remediate it on a fulcrum where both security and user convenience is reasonably balanced. Yes, no algorithm is impossible to crack, but the most robust, up-to-date ones are difficult enough. If the tester cracked it that easily, chances are that either the algorithm was weak or the equipment was misconfigured—both of which are fixable without deprovisioning Wi-Fi altogether.
Aircrack-ng is a Wi-Fi security auditing tool specifically 802.11 WEP and WPA/WPA2-PSK. It is also used for cracking the WEP and WPA/WPA2-PSK keys for gaining access to a network. Aircrack-ng is used by learning individuals and security professionals to test the security, reliability of wireless networks.
Does not Crack Enterprise, 802.1X or WPA3......

WPA3 is also ithink cracked
The answer is D. WPA2 can be cracked with enough time and computing power.
Going B here. While WPA3 can't be cracked with aircrack-ng, it can still perform a downgrade attack on it. Answer A does not say REQUIRES strong encryption, just that it SUPPORTS strong encryption. The key phrase in this question IMO is "outside the building", solve this by using a directional antennae, B.
A is correct
Aircrack-ng is a suite of tools for wireless security auditing and testing. It can be used to detect, monitor, and crack wireless networks, as well as recover lost or forgotten passwords. Aircrack-ng also includes powerful tools for packet analysis, allowing users to capture packets and analyze them for useful information.
A is correct strong encryption
Yes but WPA3 is not cracke by Aircrack-ng A is the answer for sure
Ithink A is the best answer
i would go for D too
Why not A?
even a stronger encryption could be cracked, therefore only disabling wifi we would avoid it
The MOST effective recommendation to remediate the tester's unauthorized access is: A. Changing to Wi-Fi equipment that supports strong encryption Strong encryption standards like WPA2 or WPA3 significantly improve Wi-Fi security by making it much more difficult to crack the encryption and access the network traffic. B. Using directional antennae: While directional antennae can focus the Wi-Fi signal and potentially limit range, it wouldn't prevent unauthorized access from someone within range. The tester was able to connect from outside, indicating the network was accessible beyond its intended coverage. D. Disabling Wi-Fi: This is a drastic measure and might not be practical depending on the organization's needs. Disabling Wi-Fi completely would prevent legitimate users from accessing the network wirelessly.
Using Aircrack-ng, an attacker can crack Wi-Fi networks that are protected using weak encryption methods. The best way to remediate this issue is to ensure that the Wi-Fi equipment supports strong encryption standards like WPA2 or WPA3. Therefore, the correct option is: A. Changing to Wi-Fi equipment that supports strong encryption.
