CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 202

A company recruited a penetration tester to configure intrusion detection over the wireless network. Which of the following tools would BEST resolve this issue?

Answer options

• A. Aircrack-ng
• B. Wireshark
• C. Cowpatty
• D. Kismet

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Kismet is specifically designed for wireless network analysis and intrusion detection, making it the best choice for this scenario. Aircrack-ng is primarily used for cracking WEP and WPA keys, Wireshark is a general-purpose packet analyzer, and Cowpatty is focused on offline WPA/WPA2 password cracking, none of which are optimal for setting up intrusion detection.
