Match each observed wireless or network anomaly on the left with its corresponding attack classification on the right.
- Unsolicited contact cards or text messages appearing on a mobile device via short-range wireless connections without requesting data theft.Bluejacking
- Frequent transmission of spoofed 802.11 control frames causing immediate dropped wireless connections for connected endpoints.Disassociation Attack
- A massive spike in noise floor levels across 2.4 GHz channels leading to severe degradation of signal-to-noise ratio and complete connection loss.Radio Frequency Jamming
- Switch security alerts indicating that an identical media access control address is registered on two different physical switch ports.MAC Spoofing
Answer
Unsolicited short-range messages correspond to Bluejacking; spoofed 802.11 control frames disconnecting clients correspond to a Disassociation Attack; high noise floor across frequency channels corresponds to Radio Frequency Jamming; and identical physical addresses appearing on multiple switch ports corresponds to MAC Spoofing.
Each indicator uniquely points to a distinct network or wireless attack vector based on standard security monitoring signatures: short-range spam maps to Bluejacking, 802.11 frame forgery maps to Disassociation, RF noise flooding maps to Jamming, and duplicate physical layer addressing maps to MAC Spoofing.
