A company's security team notices an unknown access point broadcasting the same SSID as the corporate network but with a stronger signal near the lobby. Employees are connecting to it, and the team suspects it is a rogue device. What is the FIRST step to confirm the threat?

Increase the transmit power of legitimate access points

Disable the SSID broadcast on the corporate network

Use a wireless survey tool to locate the physical position of the access point

Check the access point's MAC address against the list of authorized APs

A company has a wireless network with multiple access points. They have received reports of intermittent connectivity issues. The security team suspects a deauthentication attack. What is the BEST way to confirm this?

Capture wireless traffic and look for a high volume of deauthentication frames

Check the access point logs for failed authentication attempts

During a wireless penetration test, the tester sends a continuous stream of deauthentication frames to clients on a WPA2 network. What is the primary goal of this attack?

To install malware on the client device

To force clients to reconnect and capture the WPA2 handshake
