HP Exam HPE6-A78 Topic 2 Question 76 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE6-A78 exam

Question #: 76
Topic #: 2

What is one way a noneypot can be used to launch a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack to wireless clients?

Ait uses a combination or software and hardware to jam the RF band and prevent the client from connecting to any wireless networks

Bit runs an NMap scan on the wireless client to And the clients MAC and IP address. The hacker then connects to another network and spoofs those addresses.

Cit examines wireless clients' probes and broadcasts the SSlDs in the probes, so that wireless clients will connect to it automatically.

Dit uses ARP poisoning to disconnect wireless clients from the legitimate wireless network and force clients to connect to the hacker's wireless network instead.

I'm surprised Option A is even an option. Jamming the RF band? That's just going to piss off everyone and draw a lot of attention. Not exactly the subtle approach I'm looking for.

Option B sounds like a lot of unnecessary work. Why bother with NMap when you can just use ARP poisoning? It's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

I'm going to have to go with Option D. It's a tried and true method, and it's probably the most reliable way to pull off a MITM attack on wireless clients.

I agree, ARP poisoning is a powerful tool for intercepting traffic between wireless clients and the network.

Option D is definitely the way to go. ARP poisoning is a classic method for launching a MITM attack.

Option C looks interesting, but I'm not sure if that's the best way to launch a MITM attack. I think the attacker would need to do more than just broadcast the SSIDs.

B) it runs an NMap scan on the wireless client to And the clients MAC and IP address. The hacker then connects to another network and spoofs those addresses.
