An unauthorized access point set up by individuals or departments is called a(n) ________ access point.

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

Answer: (B)

Rogue access points are unauthorized wireless devices installed within an organization, often by employees or departments without IT approval.They create a potential backdoor into the network because security controls may not monitor or manage them, making data flows more vulnerable. An evil twin is a specific type of rogue AP that imitates a legitimate network’s name to trick users into connecting and revealing credentials or data. Since the question describes an unauthorized AP in general, the correct term is rogue access point. If the setup were explicitly cloning a legitimate network to deceive users, that would be an evil twin, but not every rogue AP is an evil twin.
