NetStumbler is more for Wi-Fi scanning, not really the same.

Wait, are we sure about that? What about THC-Scan?

Agreed, Sniffer is the go-to for that.

I thought it was just for packet sniffing, not all traffic.

NetStumbler seems more focused on wireless networks, so I doubt it uses promiscuous mode. I think it’s between Sniffer and Snort.

I feel like THC-Scan is more about scanning networks rather than capturing all traffic, so I’m leaning towards Sniffer.

I think Sniffer might be the right answer since it’s commonly used for capturing all network traffic, but I’m not entirely sure.

I remember practicing with Snort in class, and I think it can also use promiscuous mode, but I’m not confident it’s the best choice here.

Okay, let's see. I think the key is understanding what "do not provision OLT" means in the context of "incrementally configuring OLT."

I feel like implementing password complexity isn't related to reducing call transfers. That didn't seem to fit the question when we practiced before.

I'm leaning towards option A. Sending a useful summary to the manager so they have it on hand for the presentation seems like the most appropriate use of an SMS in this case.

Wait, what exactly is happening here? The accomplice just walks out with goods without paying? That sounds like a fake sale to me, but I want to be careful.
