I’m not confident, but I feel like Snort is more for intrusion detection rather than detecting WLANs.

I’m leaning towards NetStumbler too. I practiced a question about wireless tools, and that name came up.

AiroPeek sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it specifically detects those WLAN standards. I might be mixing it up with something else.

This is a tricky one. I know there are a few different tools out there for wireless network detection, but I'm not familiar with the specific capabilities of each one. I'll have to eliminate the options I'm less sure about and try to narrow it down.

Okay, let's see. I remember learning about NetStumbler as a tool for detecting wireless networks, so that's my best guess. But I'm not 100% sure if it covers all the specific standards listed in the question.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know there are different tools for detecting wireless networks, but I'm not sure which one is specifically used for the 802.11 standards mentioned. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This looks like a straightforward question about wireless network detection tools. I'm pretty confident I know the answer, but I'll double-check the options just to be sure.

I'm going with C) NetStumbler. It's like the duct tape of wireless tools - it may not be the flashiest, but it gets the job done.

D) Snort? Really? That's for intrusion detection, not wireless scanning. You must be joking.

B) AiroPeek is the real deal. It's a powerful tool that can handle all the 802.11 standards. Definitely the best option here.
