David is a Security Administrator at his organization. He is trying to prevent unauthorized access of the corporate wireless network by people passing by. What kind of wireless network threat is he trying to curb?

Man in the middle
Dictionary attack
DNS spoofing
War driving

Explanation

Answer: D - War driving refers to driving around town with a laptop looking for WAPs that can be communicated with. The network card on the laptop is set to promiscuous mode and it looks for signals coming from anywhere. After intruders gain access, they may steal Internet access or start damaging your data.

Key Takeaway: Many war drivers use GPS devices to measure the location of the network and log it on a website to form maps of the network neighborhood. War driving was invented by Peter Shipley and is now commonly practiced by hobbyists, hackers and security analysts worldwide.
