The statement 'Wireless attacks avoid the access points to limit detection' is true or false?

• A. True
• B. Cannot be Determined
• C. Sometimes
• D. False

Answer: (D)

Wireless networks rely on access points as the central conduit between wireless clients and the wired network. Many familiar attack techniques actually depend on interacting with or manipulating the AP or the devices that connect to it. For example, setting up a rogue or evil twin AP to lure clients, performing deauthentication to force re-association and capture a WPA handshake, or exploiting AP management frames to disrupt or exploit traffic—all of these involve the AP in some way. Even passive listening gains value because the traffic you’re trying to observe is carried over the AP and between the AP and clients, and defenders monitor APs, beacons, and management frames for signs of intrusion. Therefore, the idea that wireless attacks avoid the access points to limit detection isn’t accurate.
