[Attacks and Exploits]

A penetration tester is unable to identify the Wi-Fi SSID on a client's cell phone.

Which of the following techniques would be most effective to troubleshoot this issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Since SSID broadcast might be hidden, channel scanning allows the tester to identify active Wi-Fi networks.

Option A (Sidecar scanning) : Not a recognized Wi-Fi testing method.

Option B (Channel scanning) : Correct.

Identifies hidden SSIDs by monitoring probe requests and responses.

Option C (Stealth scanning) : Typically refers to evading detection, not Wi-Fi analysis.

Option D (Static analysis scanning) : Static analysis applies to code security, not Wi-Fi networks.

Wait, can you really not see the SSID on a phone? That seems odd.

I think stealth scanning could work too, but not sure.

I’m confused about static analysis scanning; I don’t see how that would apply to Wi-Fi networks.

I practiced a similar question where channel scanning was mentioned as a way to detect SSIDs. Seems like a solid option here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about stealth scanning being used for hidden networks.

I think channel scanning might be the right choice since it helps identify active networks on specific channels.
