Question

Miley, a professional hacker, decided to attack a target organization's network. To perform the attack, she used a tool to send fake ARP messages over the target network to link her MAC address with the target system's IP address. By performing this, Miley received messages directed to the victim's MAC address and further used the tool to intercept steal, modify, and block sensitive communication to the target system. What is the tool employed by Miley to perform the above attack?

Why each option

Miley performed an ARP spoofing attack to conduct a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack, intercepting and manipulating network traffic by linking her MAC address to the target's IP. The tool used to execute this specific type of attack is BetterCAP.

AWireshark

Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer used for capturing and analyzing network traffic, but it does not actively perform ARP spoofing or MITM attacks.

BBetterCAPCorrect

BetterCAP is an open-source, powerful, and modular Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack and security assessment framework designed for performing various network attacks, including ARP spoofing. Its capabilities directly align with the described attack of sending fake ARP messages to intercept, steal, modify, and block sensitive communication.

CDerpNSpoof

DerpNSpoof is not a recognized or standard tool for performing ARP spoofing or Man-in-the-Middle attacks in the cybersecurity community.

DGobbler

Gobbler is not a recognized or standard tool for performing ARP spoofing or Man-in-the-Middle attacks in the cybersecurity community.
