used to describe these markings?
A.
IV attack
B.
War dialing
C.
Rogue access points
D.
War chalking
Explanation:
Not quire sure why a “user” would perform a war driving ( or war chalking attack for that matter) since a user would typically already have acess to the wi-fi network.
I think that “hacker” was meant to be used in here.
Having said that, the key word in here is “MARKINGS”
First for a few concepts:
War dialing or wardialing is a technique to automatically scan a list of telephone numbers, usually dialing every number in a local area code to search for modems, computers, bulletin board systems (computer servers) and fax machines.
War driving, also called access point mapping, is the act of locating and possibly exploiting connections to wireless local area networks while driving around a city or elsewhere
Warchalking is the drawing of symbols in public places to advertise an open Wi-Fi network. Inspired by hobo symbols, the warchalking marks were conceived by a group of friends in June 2002 and publicised by Matt Jones who designed the set of icons and produced a downloadable document containing them.
In light of the above, the correct answer is D- War Chalking.
War chalking is the act of making chalk marks on outdoor surfaces (walls, sidewalks, buildings, sign posts, trees) to indicate the existence of an open wireless network connection, usually offering an Internet connection so that others can benefit from the free wireless access. The open connections typically come from the access points of wireless networks located within buildings to serve enterprises. The chalk symbols indicate the type of access point that is available at that specific spot.
