An ethical hacker audits a hospital’s wireless network secured with WPA using TKIP and successfully performs packet injection and decryption attacks. Which WPA vulnerability most likely enabled this?
CEH documentation explains that WPA-TKIP was a transitional security protocol and does not use AES encryption, relying instead on RC4-based mechanisms.
The lack of AES-based encryption makes WPA-TKIP vulnerable to injection and replay attacks.
Option C is correct.
Options A applies to WEP.
Option B affects authentication, not TKIP weakness.
Option D is not the primary TKIP flaw.
CEH recommends WPA2/WPA3 with AES.
