Which attack aims to intercept confidential information sent over wireless association?

• A. Access Control Attacks
• B. Confidentiality Attacks
• C. Integrity Attacks
• D. Availability Attacks

Answer: (B)

Focusing on the privacy of data in transit, this question points to attacks that aim to read or disclose confidential information as it passes over a wireless link. Intercepting data during wireless association is all about unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, which is the essence of a confidentiality attack. The other categories describe different attacker goals: bypassing who can access resources (access control), altering data (integrity), or disrupting service (availability). In practice, protecting against this kind of attack means using strong encryption and secure authentication so that even if traffic is captured, its contents remain unread.
