VerifiedWireless Penetration Testing Methodology

Stuart has successfully cracked the WPA-PSK password during a wireless penetration-testing assignment. However, he cannot connect to the access point with that password.

What is the most probable reason?

Explanation

WPA-PSK authentication can be supplemented by MAC filtering. An access point configured to allow only specified client MAC addresses can reject a device even when it supplies the correct WPA-PSK password.
