Staff members notify a network technician that the wireless network is not working as expected and connectivity to wireless devices is intermittent. Some devices connect but then disconnect. The technician reviews the logs on the WAP controller and identifies thousands of connection attempts from unrecognized devices within a short amount of time. Which of the following is the most likely reason for the wireless network connectivity issue?

A.
Wrong SSID
Answers

Wrong SSID
B.
Denial of service
Answers

Denial of service
C.
Interference
Answers
C.
Interference
D.
Poor coverage
Answers
D.
Poor coverage
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

The symptoms described---intermittent connectivity and thousands of connection attempts from unrecognized devices---strongly suggest a denial of service (DoS) attack. This type of attack typically involves overwhelming a network service with excessive requests, in this case to the wireless access point (WAP), which prevents legitimate network traffic from being processed effectively. Options like wrong SSID, interference, and poor coverage do not explain the high volume of connection attempts and are less likely to cause such a specific connectivity disruption pattern.
