Explanation

{"question_number": 4, "correct_answer": "D", "explanation": "Aircrack-ng is a comprehensive wireless security auditing suite that includes tools specifically designed to capture WPA/WPA2 four-way handshakes (using airodump-ng) and then crack the pre-shared key offline using dictionary or brute-force attacks. It supports Windows via adapters with compatible drivers. Wireshark can passively capture wireless frames but lacks the built-in capability to deauthenticate clients, capture handshakes, and crack passwords. EAPHammer targets WPA2-Enterprise (802.1X) environments, not personal Wi-Fi. Kismet is a passive wireless detector and sniffer but is not designed for handshake capture and password cracking.", "generated_by": "claude-sonnet", "llm_judge_score": 4}
