(Select TWO).
E & F. WEP is the easiest to compromise!
Sorry, typo… A & F. Any preshared key is susceptible to brute force attack if the password is weak.
I was looking at another practice test and the answer included WPA-LEAP. I am not understanding why though…I understand why Wep is and any PSK is vulnerable but why LEAP? Anyone? I dont really understand LEAP or EAP except they help authenticate, and maybe the answer was WPA-LEAP because PEAP is protected?
In the gtslearning’s book, at page 136, in the section about LEAP, says that LEAP relies on MS-CHAP to transmit authentication credentials, this means that LEAP is vulnerable to password cracking (brute force)
