Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 297

Miley, a professional hacker, decided to attack a target organization's network. To perform the attack, she used a tool to send fake ARP messages over the target network to link her MAC address with the target system's IP address. By performing this, Miley received messages directed to the victim's MAC address and further used the tool to intercept steal, modify, and block sensitive communication to the target system.
What is the tool employed by Miley to perform the above attack?

Answer options

• A. Wireshark
• B. BetterCAP
• C. DerpNSpoof
• D. Gobbler

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is BetterCAP, as it is specifically designed for ARP spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks, allowing an attacker to intercept and manipulate network traffic. Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer and does not perform active attacks; DerpNSpoof is not as widely recognized for this type of attack, and Gobbler does not relate to ARP spoofing.
