Given: A network security auditor is preparing to perform a comprehensive assessment of an 802.11ac network's security.
What task should be performed at the beginning of the audit to maximize the auditor's ability to expose network vulnerabilities?

What field in the RSN information element (IE) will indicate whether PSK- or Enterprise-based WPA or WPA2 is in use?

Joe's new laptop is experiencing difficulty connecting to ABC Company's 802.11 WLAN using 802.1X/EAP PEAPv0. The company's wireless network administrator assured Joe that his laptop was authorized in the WIPS management console for connectivity to ABC's network before it was given to him. The WIPS termination policy includes alarms for rogue stations, roque APs, DoS attacks and unauthorized roaming.
What is a likely reason that Joe cannot connect to the network?

Given: ABC Company secures their network with WPA2-Personal authentication and AES-CCMP encryption.
What part of the 802.11 frame is always protected from eavesdroppers by this type of security?

Given: ABC Company is implementing a secure 802.11 WLAN at their headquarters (HQ) building in New York and at each of the 10 small, remote branch offices around the United States. 802.1X/EAP is ABC's preferred security solution, where possible. All access points (at the HQ building and all branch offices) connect to a single WLAN controller located at HQ. Each branch office has only a single AP and minimal IT resources.
What security best practices should be followed in this deployment scenario?
