Exam 312-50v11 topic 1 question 340 discussion

Module 16 Page 2306 CEH Training v11: Downgrade Security Attacks To launch this attack, the client and AP should support both WPA3 and WPA2 encryption mechanisms. Here, the attacker forces the user to follow the older encryption method, WPA2, to connect to the network. Here is one way to implement a downgrade security attack: Exploiting backward compatibility: If a user and AP are compatible with both WPA2 and WPA3 encryption mechanisms, then the attacker installs a rogue AP with only WPA2 compatibility in the vicinity and forces the client to go through the four-way handshake (WPA2) to get connected. Once the connection is established, the attacker uses all the attack tools available to exploit or crack the WPA2 encryption.

WPA3 Encryption Cracking Downgrade Security Attacks - The client and AP compatiable with both WPA3 and WPA2 encryption mechanisms. Then the attacker installs a rogue AP with only WPA2 compatibility in the vicinity and forces the client to go through the four-way handshake (WPA2) to get connected. Once the connection is established, the attacker uses all the attack tools available to exploit or crack the WPA2 encryption. (P.2322/2306)

C is the closest answer.

As it is mentioned in the question that-"An attacker identified that a user and an access point are both compatible with WPA2 and WPA3 encryption",the attacker uses this knowledge for attack.SO this is Side channel attack.

i THINK c

C - it is downgrade attack

C is the correct answer, the rest are all side channel attack. But why examtopics is making this kind of mistake we expect accurate answer from this platform

answer is C

C is the answer

C is the answer

timing based attack is the answer
