Explanation

Explanation

Wireless Network Assessment (Option B) is correct because the entire scenario revolves around a rogue access point - a wireless attack vector - where Johnson specifically tested for weak and outdated wireless security mechanisms (such as WEP, WPA vulnerabilities) after detecting unusual traffic targeting the authentication mechanism of the wireless network.

Option A (Distributed Assessment) is incorrect because distributed assessments evaluate vulnerabilities across multiple networked systems or locations simultaneously, which is not the focus here. Option C (Host-based Assessment) is wrong because it targets individual devices (servers, workstations) for vulnerabilities like misconfigurations or outdated software, rather than wireless infrastructure. Option D (Application Assessment) is incorrect because it focuses on software application vulnerabilities such as SQL injection or XSS, not wireless network security flaws.

Memory Tip: Whenever you see keywords like "rogue access point," "wireless traffic," or "authentication cracking" in a scenario, immediately think Wireless Network Assessment - these are the signature indicators that distinguish it from host-based or application-level assessments.
