Wireless Penetration Testing Methodology

Adam is a senior penetration tester at XYZsecurity Inc. He is auditing a wireless network for vulnerabilities. Before beginning the audit, he wants to confirm that the wireless card in his machine supports injection. He decided to use the latest version of the aircrack-ng tool.

Which of the following commands will help Adam test his wireless card for injection?

  • A aireplay-ng -9 wlan0
  • B airodump-ng wlan0
  • C airdecap-ng -3 wlan0
  • D aireplay-ng -5 ג€"b wlan0
Explanation

In aireplay-ng, option -9 selects the injection-test mode. Running it against wlan0 sends test probe requests and reports whether packet injection is working.
