CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 394

A company has hired a penetration tester to deploy and set up a rogue access point on the network.
Which of the following is the BEST tool to use to accomplish this goal?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Aircrack-ng is the most appropriate tool for setting up a rogue access point since it specializes in wireless security assessments, including the creation of fake access points. Wireshark is primarily used for packet analysis, Kismet is more for wireless network detection and monitoring, and Wifite is focused on automated wireless cracking, making them less suitable for this specific task.
