Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v12) — Question 289

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, which is specifically designed for ARP spoofing and can manipulate network traffic. Wireshark is a packet analysis tool and does not perform ARP spoofing. DerpNSpoof is not commonly recognized as a standard tool for this type of attack, and Gobbler is unrelated to ARP spoofing functionalities.
