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.
