CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) — Question 10

A penetration tester is unable to identify the Wi-Fi SSID on a client's cell phone. Which of the following techniques would be most effective to troubleshoot this issue?

Answer options

• A. Sidecar scanning
• B. Channel scanning
• C. Stealth scanning
• D. Static analysis scanning

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Channel scanning is the most effective technique in this scenario as it involves scanning the radio frequencies used by Wi-Fi networks to identify available SSIDs. Sidecar scanning, stealth scanning, and static analysis scanning do not specifically target the detection of Wi-Fi networks, making them less suitable for this issue.
