A penetration testing team needs to determine whether it is possible to disrupt wireless communications for PCs deployed in the client’s offices. Which of the following techniques should the penetration tester leverage?
To assess wireless communication disruptions, channel scanning is used to identify active Wi-Fi channels, allowing testers to target specific frequencies for jamming or deauthentication attacks.
Option A (Port mirroring) ❌: Used for network traffic monitoring, not wireless disruption.
Option B (Sidecar scanning) ❌: Not a commonly used technique in wireless testing.
Option C (ARP poisoning) ❌: Used to manipulate ARP tables on wired networks, not for wireless interference.
Option D (Channel scanning) ✅: Correct.
Identifies which Wi-Fi channels are in use.
Helps perform jamming, deauthentication, or interference attacks.
