CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) — Question 160

During an engagement, a penetration tester needs to break the key for the Wi-Fi network that uses WPA2 encryption. Which of the following attacks would accomplish this objective?

Answer options

• A. ChopChop
• B. Replay
• C. Initialization vector
• D. KRACK

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The KRACK attack exploits vulnerabilities in the WPA2 protocol, allowing a penetration tester to decrypt the traffic and potentially recover the Wi-Fi password. The other options, while related to network security, do not specifically target the WPA2 protocol in a way that would allow for key recovery.
