GIAC Penetration Tester (GPEN) — Question 51

You are performing a wireless penetration lest and are currently looking for rogue access points in one of their large facilities. You need to select an antenna that you can setup in a building and monitor the area for several days to see if any access points are turned on during the duration of the test. What type of antenna will you be selecting for this task?

Answer options

• A. High gain and Omni-Directional
• B. High gain and Directional
• C. Low gain and Omni-Directional
• D. Low gain and Directional

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is B, High gain and Directional, because a directional antenna can focus on specific areas, allowing for better detection of rogue access points over a distance. Options A and C do not provide the necessary focus needed for this task, while D lacks the gain required for effective monitoring.
