GIAC Penetration Tester (GPEN) — Question 28

When sniffing wireless frames, the interface mode plays a key role in successfully collecting traffic. Which of the mode or modes are best used for sniffing wireless traffic?

Answer options

• A. Master Ad-hoc
• B. RFMON
• C. RFMON. Ad-hoc
• D. Ad-hoc

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Master Ad-hoc, as it allows the network interface to operate in a mode that can capture all wireless traffic. RFMON (B) is not sufficient alone for complete traffic capture, while options C and D do not provide the necessary capabilities for effective wireless traffic sniffing.
