Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v12) — Question 206

During a red team engagement, an ethical hacker is tasked with testing the security measures of an organization's wireless network. The hacker needs to select an appropriate tool to carry out a session hijacking attack. Which of the following tools should the hacker use to effectively perform session hijacking and subsequent security analysis, given that the target wireless network has the Wi-Fi Protected Access-pre-shared key (WPA-PSK) security protocol in place?

Answer options

• A. Hetty
• B. bettercap
• C. DroidSheep
• D. FaceNiff

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct tool for performing session hijacking in a WPA-PSK secured network is bettercap, as it offers comprehensive capabilities for active packet manipulation and session hijacking. The other tools, while useful for specific scenarios, do not provide the same level of support for session hijacking in WPA-PSK environments.
