An unauthorized access point is called a rogue access point.

• A. Rogue Access Point
• B. Evil Twin
• C. Both A and B
• D. Neither A nor B

Answer: (A)

Rogue access point is the general term for any wireless AP that is connected to a network without authorization. This is the label used to describe devices that bypass IT controls and can capture or redirect traffic. An evil twin is a specific type of rogue AP that imitates a legitimate AP by broadcasting the same SSID (and possibly using a forged MAC) to deceive users. Since the statement refers to the broad concept of an unauthorized AP, the appropriate answer is rogue access point. The evil twin description fits as a particular example of a rogue AP, not as the general term.
