   What is a known trade-off when using channel hopping during a wireless capture?

   • AIt automatically decrypts WPA2 traffic
   • BIt requires the sniffer to associate with each access point
   • CIt increases the amount of data captured on each channel
   • DIt may cause the sniffer to miss frames on channels that are not currently being monitored

   A penetration tester is assessing a WPA2-Personal network and needs to capture a valid 4-way handshake for offline cracking. The tester has positioned a monitor-mode adapter near the target client and is using airodump-ng to capture on the correct channel. The client is idle and not actively communicating. What should the tester do to increase the chance of capturing the handshake?

   • ASend a deauthentication frame to the client to force a reconnection.
   • BWait for the client to send periodic keepalive frames.
   • CUse Wireshark to decrypt the existing data frames.
   • DSwitch to a different channel to capture more traffic.

   A security researcher is conducting a wireless security study in a public park. The researcher plans to capture Wi-Fi traffic to analyze device behavior, but will not connect to any network. The researcher is concerned about privacy and legal issues. What is the most appropriate approach?

   • ACapture only management frames, which contain MAC addresses and SSIDs, and avoid capturing data frames.
   • BCapture all frames but anonymize MAC addresses in the analysis.
   • CObtain consent from every person in the park before capturing.
   • DUse a directional antenna to capture only signals from a specific area.
