Why is the suppression of rogue APs becoming more difficult with the introduction of new wireless security standards, such as 802.11w?
The correct answer is D. 802.11w requires that clients authenticate management frames as legitimate, which helps prevent. With 802.11w, management frames (such as deauthentication and disassociation) are protected and authenticated. This prevents spoofing attacks but also makes it more difficult for wireless intrusion prevention systems (WIPS) to identify and suppress rogue APs using traditional…

Explanation
With 802.11w, management frames (such as deauthentication and disassociation) are protected and authenticated. This prevents spoofing attacks but also makes it more difficult for wireless intrusion prevention systems (WIPS) to identify and suppress rogue APs using traditional techniques, since those frames can no longer be easily forged or intercepted.
