Common mistakes.
- A. An evil twin is a rogue wireless access point that mimics a legitimate SSID to intercept Wi-Fi traffic and is not specific to mobile Bluetooth attacks.
- B. Header manipulation is an HTTP-level web application attack targeting request/response headers and is not a mobile-device-specific Bluetooth attack.
- D. A rogue AP is an unauthorized Wi-Fi access point added to a network to intercept traffic, which targets wireless LAN clients rather than mobile Bluetooth specifically.
