Explanation

Ekahau is an easy-to-use powerful and comprehensive tool for network site surveys and optimization. It is an auditing tool that can be used to pinpoint the actual physical location of wireless devices in the network. This tool can be used to make a map of the office and then perform the survey of the office. In the process, if one finds an unknown node, ekahau can be used to locate that node. Answer: D is incorrect. AirSnort is a Linux-based WLAN WEP cracking tool that recovers encryption keys. AirSnort operates by passively monitoring transmissions. It uses Ciphertext Only Attack and captures approximately 5 to 10 million packets to decrypt the WEP keys. Answer: A is incorrect. 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: C is incorrect. WEPcrack is a wireless network cracking tool that exploits the vulnerabilities in the RC4 Algorithm, which comprises the WEP security parameters. It mainly consists of three tools, which are as follows: WeakIVGen: It allows a user to emulate the encryption output of 802.11 networks to weaken the secret key used to encrypt the network traffic. Prism-getIV: It analyzes packets of information until ultimately matching patterns to the one known to decrypt the secret key. WEPcrack: It pulls the all beneficial data of WeakIVGen and Prism-getIV to decipher the network encryption.
