802.11 networks are identified by which of the following?

A. Security identifier (SID)

B. Broadcast name

C. Kismet

D. Service set identifier (SSID)

Solution

D. A service set ID (SSID) is used to identify 802.11 networks. The SSID is a 32-bit character that acts as a shared identifier and some describe as a very weak password. The SSID is used to differentiate one WLAN from another. Answer A is incorrect because a security ID (SID) is an identifier used in conjunction with Microsoft domains. Answer B is incorrect because a broadcast name is not the means of identifying a WLAN. Answer C is incorrect because Kismet is a Linux software program used to sniff wireless traffic
