Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 337

Morris, an attacker, warned to check whether the target AP is in a locked state. He attempted using different utilities to identify WPS-enabled APs in the target wireless network. Ultimately, he succeeded with one special command-line utility.
Which of the following command-line utilities allowed Morris to discover the WPS-enabled APs?

Answer options

• A. wash
• B. net view
• C. macof
• D. ntptrace

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 'wash' because it is specifically designed to identify WPS-enabled access points by probing the network. The other options, such as 'net view', 'macof', and 'ntptrace', do not have the same functionality for discovering WPS-enabled APs.
