Question
A penetration testing team needs to determine whether it is possible to disrupt the wireless communications for PCs deployed in the client's offices. Which of the following techniques should the penetration tester leverage?
- A. Port mirroring
- B. Sidecar scanning
- C. ARP poisoning
- D. Channel scanning Correct
Explanation
Channel scanning identifies which wireless channels and access points the client's PCs are using, which is the first step in testing whether those communications can be disrupted, for example with jamming or deauthentication on that channel. Port mirroring copies wired switch traffic for monitoring and does not disrupt anything. ARP poisoning is a layer 2 man-in-the-middle attack on a LAN, not a wireless disruption technique. Sidecar scanning relates to container environments, not Wi-Fi.
