CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 664

A hacker used a packet sniffer on the network to capture the hardware address of the server. Which of the following types of attacks can the hacker perform now?

Answer options

• A. Piggybacking
• B. MAC spoofing
• C. Evil twin
• D. VLAN hopping

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, MAC spoofing, because the hacker can use the captured hardware address to impersonate the server by changing their own MAC address. The other options, such as Piggybacking, Evil twin, and VLAN hopping, do not directly rely on obtaining a hardware address and involve different attack methodologies.
