Part 2.

1. What was the original encryption utilized by 802.11?

The original encryption utilized by 802.11 was WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).

2. When were WEP cryptography vulnerabilities identified?

WEP cryptography vulnerabilities were identified when WEP was cracked in a few minutes in 2001.

3. What type of encryption was created to improve on WEP but utilize the same hardware?

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was created to improve on WEP but utilize the same hardware.

4. What type of wireless encryption is based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)?

WPA2 is based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).

Part 3.

1. In wireless networking, what is an SSID?

SSID is the Service Set Identifier.

2. Disabling SSID broadcast is an important security configuration.

SSID can easily determine wireless network analysis.

3. What is the general security term used to describe the disabling of SSID broadcast?

Security through obscurity is the term used to describe the disabling of SSID broadcast.

4. Can MAC addresses be spoofed?

MAC addressed can be spoofed because they are not encrypted.

5. What wireless networking standard supports speeds up to 600 megabits per second?

The 802.11 n supports speeds up to 600 megabits per second.
