A city RoE allows only passive discovery in phase one of a municipal WLAN assessment. What best defines that passive wireless recon?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Passive means ears open, mouth shut: collect beacons and probes without poking the air with injections. Deauth storms and rogue APs are the opposite of a quiet phase-one survey.
Full Explanation
Passive wireless reconnaissance observes management and related traffic such as beacons and probes without transmitting attack or discovery injections. That approach reduces disruption and aligns with RoE that forbids active interference in early phases. Deauthentication, association-based scanning, and rogue AP responses are active techniques outside a passive-only phase.
