IP address filtering can protect against WLAN attacks.
True
False
802.11 Wireless LAN only operates at Layer 1 and layer 2 of the OSI model, while the IP addresses are at layer 3.
**** Excuse me, but this rationale is not a complete answer. A read of https://www.howtogeek.com/204458/why-you-shouldn%E2%80%99t-use-mac-address-filtering-on-your-wi-fi-router/ reveals that address can be spoofed which is what I believe is the point being made here. The upshot here is that this question needs to be reworded. **** ^^disagree with original rationale as well; however, as written, I believe that IP address filtering 'CAN' protect against WLAN attacks. However given that IP addresses can be spoofed, there's no guarantee that an attack that originates from a blocked IP range can't get through by spoofing an IP that would be allowed through.
POORLY WORDED QUESTION
Needs revising. As mentioned, a MAC or IP address can be spoofed. There isn’t a single technology or technique that “can protect against WLAN attacks”. There are far too many attack vectors. Clearly IP address filtering would reduce your attack surface, but it does not eliminate it.
