What is the advantage of using the target Wi-Fi network for reconnaissance packet inspection?
- Physical access to the building may not be required.
- The packet scan takes less time wirelessly compared to using the target wired network.
- More information can be captured wirelessly compared to using the target wired network.
- Fewer false positive vulnerabilities are detected.

Explanation & Hint: The target wireless footprint can bleed beyond building walls; therefore, using the target Wi-Fi network to perform packet inspection in a penetration test often means that physical internal building access is not required. This reduces the chances of detection.
