Which of the following objectives does an evil twin achieve?

An evil twin attack is when an attacker sets up a rogue access point (AP) with the same SSID as a legitimate one to trick users into connecting. Once users connect, attackers often present fake login pages or capture unencrypted session data to steal login credentials.

A. DNS poisoning manipulates DNS resolution but is not inherent to evil twin.

C. ARP spoofing is a Layer 2 attack involving MAC/IP mapping manipulation.

D. Denial of service can be a side effect but is not the primary objective of evil twin attacks.

The main purpose of an evil twin is credential theft, enabling further unauthorized access to networks or systems.
