CWNP Exam CWSP-207 Topic 2 Question 9 Discussion

Actual exam question for CWNP's CWSP-207 exam

Question #: 9
Topic #: 2

You must locate non-compliant 802.11 devices. Which one of the following tools will you use and why?

AA spectrum analyzer, because it can show the energy footprint of a device using WPA differently from a device using WPA2.

BA spectrum analyzer, because it can decode the PHY preamble of a non-compliant device.

CA protocol analyzer, because it can be used to view the spectrum energy of non-compliant 802.11 devices, which is always different from compliant devices.

DA protocol analyzer, because it can be used to report on security settings and regulatory or rule compliance

Hold up, did someone say 'spectrum energy'? Sounds like we're trying to detect disturbances in the Force or something. But seriously, Option B is the clear winner here.

I'm with Allene on this one. Option C is just silly, the protocol analyzer can't do that. Definitely going with B, the spectrum analyzer is the way to go.
