The expansion of a network infrastructure to support a wireless solution increases the risk of which type of attack?
Man-in-the-middle
Port scanning
War driving
Back door
A war driving attack uses a wireless Ethernet card, set in promiscuous mode, and a powerful antenna to penetrate wireless systems from outside. Port scanning will often target the external firewall of the organization. A back door is an opening left in software that enables an unknown entry into a system. Man-in-the-middle attacks intercept a message and either replace or modify it. Edit: Dissagree, wardriving is not an attack but rather an attempt to map out wireless networks. http://www.thesecurityadvocate.com/2013/03/25/what-is-wardriving-and-how-can-it-affect-your-companys-computer-network/ Combined with rootkitting, Warkitting is far mor malicious and an attack methodology. Correct answer should be Man-in-the-middle as after wireless network has been established the opportunity to perform this type of attack is increaced if the WiFi is unencrypted. Edit: I changed to MiTM(correct answer) Edit: The question would be better if the wardriving option was changed to rootkit or some other non-wireless specific attack. Many people will choose a wireless specific answer rather than MITM because MITM is largely associated with web-based traffic.
