Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13) — Question 15
Martin, a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), is conducting a penetration test on a large enterprise network. He suspects that sensitive information might be leaking out of the network. Martin decides to use network sniffing as part of his testing methodology. Which of the following sniffing techniques should Martin employ to get a comprehensive understanding of the data flowing across the network?
Answer options
- A. Raw Sniffing
- B. MAC Flooding
- C. ARP Poisoning
- D. DNS Poisoning
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Raw Sniffing is the correct choice because it allows Martin to capture all packets on the network for detailed analysis. The other options, such as MAC Flooding, ARP Poisoning, and DNS Poisoning, are techniques that manipulate network behavior rather than providing comprehensive data visibility.
