[All 312-50v12 Questions]

As the chief security officer at SecureMobile, you are overseeing the development of a mobile banking application. You are aware of the potential risks of man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks where an attacker might intercept communication between the app and the bank's servers. Recently, you have learned about a technique used by attackers where they use rogue Wi-Fi hotspots to conduct MitM attacks. To prevent this type of attack, you plan to implement a security feature in the mobile app. What should this feature accomplish?

  • A. It should require two-factor authentication for user logins.
  • B. It should prevent the app from communicating over a network if it detects a rogue access point.
  • C. It should prevent the app from connecting to any unencrypted Wi-Fi networks.
  • D. It should require users to change their password every 30 days.

This question sucks. If the mobile banking app used TLS or IPSEC who ever controlled the network wouldn't matter. Poor questions like this make me question the validity of the material between 126 and 249.

Selected Answer: C
C - This feature helps protect against MitM attacks by ensuring that the mobile app only communicates over encrypted Wi-Fi networks. Unencrypted Wi-Fi networks are more susceptible to interception, making it easier for attackers to perform MitM attacks. By enforcing the use of encrypted Wi-Fi connections, the app enhances the security of data in transit, reducing the risk of unauthorized interception and tampering.

Selected Answer: B
B Only preventing the app from connecting to any unencrypted wi-fi does not help. You need a feature to detect a rogue AP. An easy example is the legit wifi uses SSID aaa password bbb The rogue AP is setup with the same SSID and PW can make MitM possible.
