A penetration testing team needs to determine whether it is possible to disrupt the wireless communications for PCs deployed in the client's offices. Which of the following techniques should the penetration tester leverage?
Wireless communications can be disrupted by identifying and interfering with the channels used by Wi-Fi networks.
Channel scanning allows the tester to map all active Wi-Fi channels, identify the target network, and determine possible jamming or interference strategies.
Why Not Other Options?
A (Port mirroring): This applies to wired network traffic duplication for monitoring purposes and is unrelated to wireless disruption.
B (Sidecar scanning): Not a relevant technique in the context of wireless disruption.
C (ARP poisoning): This targets Ethernet/IP communication in a local network, not wireless communication at the radio frequency level.
