CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) — Question 17

A penetration testing team needs to determine whether it is possible to disrupt the wireless communications for PCs deployed in the client's offices. Which of the following techniques should the penetration tester leverage?

Answer options

• A. Port mirroring
• B. Sidecar scanning
• C. ARP poisoning
• D. Channel scanning

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Channel scanning is the correct choice as it allows the tester to identify the channels used by wireless communications and potentially disrupt them. Port mirroring is related to network traffic analysis, while ARP poisoning is focused on manipulating network traffic at the data link layer, and sidecar scanning is not a standard technique for wireless disruption.
