Wardriving

B.
Protocol analyzer

C.
Replay attack

D.
WPS attack

Explanation:
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. To do war driving, you need a
vehicle, a computer (which can be a laptop), a wireless Ethernet card set to work in promiscuous mode,
and some kind of an antenna which can be mounted on top of or positioned inside the car. A GPS (Global
Positioning System) system can be used to accurately map your location while detecting the wireless
networks.
Incorrect Answers:
B: A Protocol Analyzer is a hardware device or more commonly a software program used to capture
network data communications sent between devices on a network. Capturing packets sent from a
computer system is known as packet sniffing. GPS is not used for packet sniffing.
C: A replay attack (also known as playback attack) is a form of network attack in which a valid data
transmission is maliciously or fraudulently repeated or delayed. This is carried out either by the originator
or by an adversary who intercepts the data and retransmits it, possibly as part of a masquerade attack by
IP packet substitution (such as stream cipher attack). GPS is not used for replay attacks.
D: Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a communications protocol designed to help facilitate the setup of
wireless networks in homes and small offices. A WPS attack is an attempt to gain unauthorized access to
the wireless network. GPS is not used for WPS attacks.
