I definitely recall that monitor mode is used for wireless networks, while promiscuous mode is for wired. So, I think the answer is false.

I thought they were similar, but now I’m questioning if they really offer the same functionality. I might go with true just to be safe.

I think I remember that promiscuous mode captures all traffic, while monitor mode is more about passive listening. So, I’m leaning towards false.

Ah, I know the difference between these! Promiscuous mode allows the network interface to receive all traffic on the network, while monitor mode puts the interface in a special listening state. I'll select False for this one.
