Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13) — Question 179

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 designed for network attacks, including ARP spoofing. Wireshark is a packet analysis tool and does not perform such attacks, DerpNSpoof is less commonly used for this purpose, and Gobbler is unrelated to network attacks, making them unsuitable options.
