Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Correct Answer:
Kismet can discover wireless networks that are not sending beacon frames is correct.
Kismet’s primary use is scanning for (and sniffing) wireless networks. Even if the security admin turns beaconing off (so no one can supposedly search for the SSID), Kismet can still find the network for you.
Incorrect Answers:
Kismet is used to crack passwords, Kismet relies on beacon frames to sniff wireless networks, and Kismet is used to identify vulnerabilities in wireless networks are incorrect.
These statements are not true regarding Kismet.
