Question
A penetration tester is unable to identify the Wi-Fi SSID on a client's cell phone. Which of the following techniques would be most effective to troubleshoot this issue?
- A. Sidecar scanning
- B. Channel scanning Correct
- C. Stealth scanning
- D. Static analysis scanning
Explanation
If the SSID does not show up, the network may be on a channel or band the tester is not monitoring, so scanning across all wireless channels (channel hopping) finds the access point and its beacons or probe responses. Sidecar scanning concerns container environments, stealth scanning is a TCP port-scan technique, and static analysis scans source code; none of them find a wireless network.
