A field locker-room AP in a city recreation center still has WPS PIN enrollment enabled contrary to hardening standards. Which threat should security staff highlight?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
WPS PIN is the “easy join” button that attackers love to mash—weak enrollment is a side door into the Wi-Fi secret. Call out that risk and turn the feature off on civic APs. BGP forging elsewhere does not explain this wireless weakness.
Full Explanation
Wi-Fi Protected Setup PIN and similar weak enrollment mechanisms have well-known attack paths that can disclose WLAN credentials or ease unauthorized joining. CWSP Domain 2 includes cracking and weak-enrollment threats alongside classic crypto attacks. Disabling WPS on enterprise and municipal infrastructure is standard mitigation once the threat is recognized.
