CompTIA Exam PT0-003 Topic 4 Question 17 Discussion
Topic #: 4
During a red-team exercise, a penetration tester obtains an employee's access badge. The tester uses the badge's information to create a duplicate for unauthorized entry. Which of the following best describes this action?
RFID Cloning:
RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) cloning involves copying the data from an access badge and creating a duplicate that can be used for unauthorized entry.
Tools like Proxmark or RFID duplicators are commonly used for this purpose.
Why Not Other Options?
A (Smurfing): A network-based denial-of-service attack, unrelated to physical access.
B (Credential stuffing): Involves using stolen credentials in bulk for authentication attempts, unrelated to badge cloning.
D (Card skimming): Relates to stealing credit card information, not access badges.
