CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 304

A penetration tester is conducting an on-path link layer attack in order to take control of a key fob that controls an electric vehicle. Which of the following wireless attacks would allow a penetration tester to achieve a successful attack?

Answer options

• A. Bluejacking
• B. Bluesnarfing
• C. BLE attack
• D. WPS PIN attack

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, BLE attack, as it specifically targets Bluetooth Low Energy devices like key fobs. Bluejacking (A) and Bluesnarfing (B) are outdated techniques for sending messages or accessing data on Bluetooth devices but not effective for controlling devices. WPS PIN attack (D) is related to Wi-Fi Protected Setup and not applicable to key fob attacks.
