Explanation

When conducting a wireless security assessment, it is critical to specify the SSIDs (Service Set Identifiers) being tested in the Statement of Work (SOW). This ensures clarity about which wireless networks are in scope and avoids unintentional testing of unauthorized networks, which could lead to legal or ethical issues. Other options, such as IP ranges, frequencies, or channels, are relevant for technical planning but are secondary to defining the SSIDs in scope for the assessment. Including the SSIDs ensures the tester is focused on the intended targets.
