Actual exam question from ECCouncil's 312-50v13
Question #: 187
Topic #: 1
[All 312-50v13 Questions]

As the lead security engineer for a retail corporation, you are assessing the security of the wireless networks in the company's stores. One of your main concerns is the potential for "Wardriving" attacks, where attackers drive around with a Wi-Fi-enabled device to discover vulnerable wireless networks. Given the nature of the retail stores, you need to ensure that any security measures you implement do not interfere with customer experience, such as their ability to access in-store Wi-Fi. Taking into consideration these factors, which of the following would be the most suitable measure to mitigate the risk of Wardriving attacks?

  • A. Limit the range of the store's wireless signals
  • B. Implement MAC address filtering
  • C. Disable SSID broadcasting
  • D. Implement WPA3 encryption for the store's Wi-Fi network

Wardriving is looking for unencrypted wifi signals to attack and limiting the range could negatively impact customers

According to EC-Council (e.g., CEH v12, ECSA): The highest priority recommendations for mitigating wardriving and wireless threats usually follow this order: ✅ 1. Use Strong Encryption: WPA3 or WPA2-Enterprise EC-Council emphasizes this as the first and most critical defense: 📌 This is always at the top of EC-Council wireless security best practices. ✅ 2. Implement WIPS/WIDS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention/Detection Systems) EC-Council promotes active detection and response to: • Detect rogue APs • Identify wardriving probes • Block deauth or Evil Twin attacks 📌 WIPS is central to CEH's "Defense in Depth" for wireless networks. ✅ 3. Disable SSID Broadcast (Optional but Recommended) • Reduces visibility to casual attackers • Not foolproof, but helps reduce surface ✅ 4. MAC Filtering and Network Access Control (NAC) While spoofable, MAC filtering is still encouraged as part of layered security. • NAC is more effective, particularly with 802.1X Continuation below...

...continuation: ✅ 5. Change Defaults (SSID, Admin Passwords) Always emphasized in CEH materials as a basic yet often neglected security practice. ✅ 6. Lower AP Power Output (Signal Range Management) A physical-level control — EC-Council recommends minimizing signal bleed outside controlled zones. ✅ 7. Segmentation and Guest Isolation Not always listed under “wardriving” directly, but EC-Council promotes VLAN segmentation to contain any breach, especially from wireless clients. ✅ 8. VPN, HTTPS, and Application Layer Protections • Useful for damage control in case of compromise • Part of a broader data-in-transit protection strategy ✅ 9. Disable Wi-Fi When Not in Use
