GIAC GSNA Exam - Topic 3 Question 16 Discussion

Actual exam question for GIAC's GSNA exam
Question #: 16
Topic #: 3
[All GSNA Questions]

Mark works as a Network Administrator for Infonet Inc. The company has a Windows 2000 Active Directory domain-based network. The domain contains one hundred Windows XP Professional client computers. Mark is deploying an 802.11 wireless LAN on the network. The wireless LAN will use Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) for all the connections. According to the company's security policy, the client computers must be able to automatically connect to the wireless LAN. However, the unauthorized computers must not be allowed to connect to the wireless LAN and view the wireless network. Mark wants to configure all the wireless access points and client computers to act in accordance with the company's security policy. What will he do to accomplish this?

Each correct answer represents a part of the solution. Choose three.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, B, D

To configure all the wireless access points and client computers to act in accordance with the company's security policy, Mark will take the

following actions:

Configure the authentication type for the wireless LAN to Shared Key. Shared Key authentication provides access control.

Disable SSID Broadcast and enable MAC address filtering on all the wireless access points. Disabling SSID Broadcast and enabling MAC

address filtering will prevent unauthorized wireless client computers from connecting to the access point (AP). Only the computers with

particular MAC addresses will be able to connect to the wireless access points.

On each client computer, add the SSID for the wireless LAN as the preferred network.

Answer E is incorrect. Setting the authentication type for the wireless LAN to Open System will disable

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP).

This level of WEP will not provide security.

MAC address filtering is a good idea, but it's not foolproof.

Disabling SSID broadcast? Not sure that's enough protection.

Disabling SSID broadcast could help hide the network, but I wonder if it might cause issues for users trying to connect.

Adding the SSID as a preferred network on each client seems straightforward. I practiced a similar question where that was part of the solution.

I’m a bit unsure about MAC address filtering. It sounds good, but I think it can be bypassed. Still, it might help with unauthorized access.

I remember that WEP is not very secure, but I think using Shared Key authentication is better than Open system for this setup.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I'll need to review my notes to see if I can identify the key advantages of for-profit health plans.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the organization's security policies and why someone might want to bypass them.

I think the key here is understanding the object-oriented nature of smart contracts. They encapsulate data and behavior, just like a class.
