A field kit for a municipal WLAN assessment lists airodump-ng, aireplay-ng, and aircrack-ng. How should the assessor map each tool to its primary role?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Picture three different city trucks: one surveys the streets, one nudges traffic along, and one tries the locks back at the shop. airodump watches and records, aireplay can inject or replay frames, and aircrack does the offline key-recovery attempt. Mix those roles up and the kit becomes confusing fast.
Full Explanation
Within the aircrack-ng suite, airodump-ng is the survey and capture utility, aireplay-ng covers injection and replay of certain 802.11 frame classes, and aircrack-ng performs offline recovery attempts against captured material. Mapping tools to capture, inject, and crack roles prevents misuse during authorized assessments and clarifies evidence collection.
