CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 8

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 specifically designed for penetration testing and can be used to create and manage rogue access points effectively. Wireshark is primarily a packet analysis tool, Kismet is a wireless network detector, and Wifite is focused on automated attacks against WEP and WPA/WPA2 networks, making them less suitable for this specific task.
