The answer is definitely B, but I searched gattatacker in both of the official guides and it is not mentioned, so I'm curious as to why they would include tool knowledge on the test which is not covered in the books. Perhaps they are expecting you to have enough understanding of the other tools which are mentioned in the guides to know that they are not commonly used for attacking BLE devices and are expected to get the correct answer via the process of elimination.

CompTIA consistently states that their own exam objectives are never "all-encompassing" lol

Gattacker is specifically designed for security testing of BLE devices. It allows for man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks and other vulnerabilities exploitation within BLE communications, making it ideal for on-path attacks to intercept and manipulate BLE device communications.

Gattacker is a tool used to exploit Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices. It can be used to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in smart devices, such as home automation products, fitness trackers, data collection tools, and more. Gattacker can be used to gain access to sensitive information or control the devices remotely, so it is important to follow best practices for IoT security and restrict access to BLE smart devices to protect against exploitation.

BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) smart devices are IoT (Internet of Things) devices that use Bluetooth technology to communicate with other connected devices. They are used for a variety of purposes, such as home automation, data collection, and location tracking. These devices can be vulnerable to attack if not properly secured, so it is important to follow best practices for IoT security and restrict access to the devices.

Gattacker is a powerful tool for testing BLE devices and finding vulnerabilities in their implementations. It allows for fuzz testing, MITM (Man-in-the-middle) attacks, and other techniques to be used to analyze the security of BLE devices. This makes it an ideal tool for security analysts looking to test the security of BLE smart devices.

B is correct The best tool for performing an on-path attack on BLE smart devices is Gattacker. Gattacker is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) pentesting and fuzzing framework specifically designed for on-path attacks. It allows Pass with Authority Use Examout.co 16 of 148 Exam Preparation CompTIA - PT0-002 security analysts to perform a variety of tasks, including man-in-the-middle attacks, passive and active scans, fuzzing of BLE services, and more. Gattacker also provides an interactive command-line interface that makes it easy to interact with the target BLE device and execute various commands.
