I vaguely recall a practice question where Kismet was mentioned as a powerful wireless sniffer. I hope that's the right choice here!

I think WEPCrack is used for cracking WEP keys, not really for sniffing. Kismet seems more appropriate.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like NetStumbler is more for Windows. Did we cover that in class?

Okay, I've used Kismet before for wireless penetration testing, so I'm pretty sure that's the right answer here. I'll mark that one and keep moving.

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. Is there something specific about the "We-are-secure" network that makes one tool better than the others? I'll have to read it over carefully.

Kismet is the go-to wireless sniffer for Linux, so that's my best guess for the answer. I'll mark that one and move on.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I'll have to think through the different wireless sniffer options and see which one seems most appropriate for this scenario.
