Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v10) — Question 77

This tool is an 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can recover keys once enough data packets have been captured. It implements the standard FMS attack along with some optimizations like KoreK attacks, as well as the PTW attack, thus making the attack much faster compared to other WEP cracking tools.
Which of the following tools is being described?

Answer options

• A. wificracker
• B. Airguard
• C. WLAN-crack
• D. Aircrack-ng

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Aircrack-ng, as it specifically uses the FMS attack and its optimizations to crack WEP and WPA-PSK keys efficiently. The other options do not have the same capabilities or optimizations as Aircrack-ng, making them less effective for this purpose.
