Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13) — Question 229

Morris, an attacker, wanted 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 a command-line utility specifically designed to identify WPS-enabled access points. The other options, such as 'net view' and 'macof', serve different purposes in network management and do not assist in discovering WPS status.
