Explanation

According to the scenario, John will use Kismet. Kismet is a Linux-based 802.11 wireless network sniffer and intrusion detection system. It can work with any wireless card that supports raw monitoring (rfmon) mode. Kismet can sniff 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n traffic. Kismet can be used for the following tasks: To identify networks by passively collecting packets To detect standard named networks To detect masked networks To collect the presence of non-beaconing networks via data traffic Answer: D is incorrect. NetStumbler is a Windows-based tool that is used for the detection of wireless LANs using the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g standards. It detects wireless networks and marks their relative position with a GPS. Answer: A is incorrect. WEPCrack is an open source tool that breaks IEEE 802.11 WEP secret Answer: C is incorrect. Snadboy's Revelation is not a sniffer. It is used to see the actual password behind the asterisks.
