How can hackers implement a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack against a wireless client?
A.
The hacker uses a combination of software and hardware to jam the RF band and prevent the client from connecting to any wireless networks.
B.
The hacker runs an NMap scan on the wireless client to find its MAC and IP address. The hacker then connects to another network and spoofs those addresses.
C.
The hacker connects a device to the same wireless network as the client and responds to the client’s ARP requests with the hacker device’s MAC address.
D.
The hacker uses spear-phishing to probe for the IP addresses that the client is attempting to reach. The hacker device then spoofs those IP addresses.
The Answer Is:
C
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
A common method for hackers to perform a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack on a wireless network is by ARP poisoning. The attacker connects to the same network as the victim and sends false ARP messages over the network. This causes the victim's device to send traffic to the attacker's machine instead of the legitimate destination, allowing the attacker to intercept the traffic.
[Reference: ARP spoofing is documented as a common MITM technique in various security publications and resources like the IEEE 802.11 standard and security textbooks., Please note that the answers provided are based on general networking and security principles and best practices. If you require verification against specific Aruba product documentation or technical manuals, those documents should be consulted directly., ]
