Exam PT0-002 topic 1 question 23 discussion

You gotta love how examtopics says B, and the first thing in their references says WPS lol. I love this site, so thankful for the service.

Clearly its WPS lmao

correct A: WPS can be attacked via simple bruteforce because it doesn' consider how many pin tried. not B: WPA2-EAP used in corporate environments, safer than WPS, can't be affected to brute-force attacks. not C: old and less secure thank WP2 but can't be affected to brute-force attacks. not D: safer than WPA-TKIP and WPS, can be vulnerable to brute-force if used weak password, anyway not weak as WPS

WPS is easiest to crack amongst the list.

Is this site trusted in Q/A?? I dont understand why ExamTopic choose B, so, I am not sure also the Q/A are the same of the original Exam at this point....someone can confirm please?

Among the listed options, WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is typically considered the most vulnerable to brute-force attacks. WPS was designed to simplify the process of connecting devices to a wireless network. One of the methods for setting up WPS is the PIN method, which often relies on an 8-digit PIN. Unfortunately, this PIN can be relatively easy to brute-force, especially since the PIN is often checked in two separate 4-digit parts, reducing the total number of possible combinations. WPA2-EAP, WPA-TKIP, and WPA2-PSK are all more robust security mechanisms for WiFi, and they would generally be considered more resistant to brute-force attacks than WPS. So the correct answer to this question is: A. WPS.

Shocking. We all know this is A

RRabbits description is a clear reason why A is the correct answer.

A. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) (Option A) is the most vulnerable to a brute-force attack because it uses a simple 8-digit pin to secure the wireless network. WPA2-EAP (Option B), WPA-TKIP (Option C), and WPA2-PSK (Option D) are all stronger security protocols that use more complex and secure methods of encryption and authentication, making them less vulnerable to brute-force attacks. WPA2-EAP (Option B) is an enterprise-level security protocol that uses a server to authenticate users, it's a more robust protocol than PSK and TKIP. WPA-TKIP (Option C) and WPA2-PSK (Option D) are both personal-level security protocols that use a pre-shared key, but WPA2-PSK is a more robust protocol than TKIP.

WPS because of 2 4-pin blocks and the reference provided.

The problem with WPS is that the WPS–enabled router is vulnerable to having the WPS cracked due to the fact that the pin was originally designed as two 4-pin blocks. It is much quicker to crack two 4-pin blocks than it is one 8-pin block. It has been found that hackers can brute force each of the two 4-digit blocks within hours and then use the PIN to connect to the WPA or WPA2 protected network.

A is correct

Agreed WPS is the issue

Even the reference clearly states WPS

Correct answer is A coz of its weak implementation
