[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?
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.
