Which of the following types of wireless attacks would be used specifically to impersonate another
WAP in order to gain unauthorized information from mobile users?

A.
IV attack

B.
Evil twin

C.
War driving

D.
Rogue access point

Explanation:
An evil twin, in the context of network security, is a rogue or fake wireless access point (WAP) that
appears as a genuine hotspot offered by a legitimate provider.
In an evil twin attack, an eavesdropper or hacker fraudulently creates this rogue hotspot to collect
the personal data of unsuspecting users. Sensitive data can be stolen by spying on a connection
or using a phishing technique.
For example, a hacker using an evil twin exploit may be positioned near an authentic Wi-Fi access
point and discover the service set identifier (SSID) and frequency. The hacker may then send a
radio signal using the exact same frequency and SSID. To end users, the rogue evil twin appears

as their legitimate hotspot with the same name.
In wireless transmissions, evil twins are not a new phenomenon. Historically, they were known as
honeypots or base station clones. With the advancement of wireless technology and the use of
wireless devices in public areas, it is very easy for novice users to set up evil twin exploits.
