A penetration tester wants to accomplish ARP poisoning as part of an attack. Which of the following tools will the tester most likely utilize?
Correct Answer: D
ARP poisoning is a technique that exploits the weakness of the ARP protocol to redirect network traffic to a malicious host. Ettercap is a tool that can perform ARP poisoning and other network attacks, such as DNS spoofing, SSL stripping, and password sniffing. Wireshark, Netcat, and Nmap are not designed for ARP poisoning, although they can be used for other purposes, such as packet analysis, network communication, and port scanning.
