Question

Drew discovers a device during an engagement and needs to try conducting a Pixie attack or attempt to crack PMKID offline. Which tool should they use?

Answers
  1. correct
Explanation

The correct answer is C) wifite2.

wifite2: Wifite2 is an automated wireless cracking tool that supports various attacks, including Pixie Dust (for WPA/WPA2 handshake attacks) and PMKID cracking (for offline attacks on WPA2 networks). Wifite2 is capable of capturing handshakes and PMKID information, and it can automate the process of attacking WPA/WPA2 networks using different methods, including offline cracking of captured data. It is well-suited for conducting Pixie attacks or attempting to crack PMKID offline.

Why the others are incorrect:

  • scoutsuite: ScoutSuite is a multi-cloud security auditing tool, and it is not related to wireless network cracking or attacks. It is used for cloud infrastructure auditing, not for wireless penetration testing.

  • airmon-ng: Airmon-ng is part of the Aircrack-ng suite, and it is used to enable monitor mode on wireless interfaces for packet sniffing. While it is a useful tool for wireless monitoring, it does not specifically handle Pixie attacks or PMKID cracking directly. It is more of a setup tool for capturing packets, but you would need other tools, like aircrack-ng or wifite2, to perform the cracking or attacks.

  • spooftooph: Spooftooph is a tool used for Bluetooth hacking and spoofing, not for wireless WPA/WPA2 network attacks. It does not support Pixie attacks or PMKID cracking in the context of Wi-Fi.
