Wi-Fi Question of the Day (QOTD)

Given: Hijacking occurs when an attacker configures a software access point with the same SSID as a valid access point, but a different channel. The attacker then jams the channel used by the valid access point, forcing stations to roam and reassociate to the software access point. The attacker may then use auditing tools to scan the victim's computer.

What measures can be taken to provide protection against hijack attack vulnerabilities?

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
