The answer is A. Wireless network assessment. Johnson identified unusual traffic in the internal network that is aimed at cracking the authentication mechanism, which suggests that there might be a rogue access point within the organization's perimeter. As a security auditor, Johnson immediately turned off the targeted network and performed a wireless network assessment to identify any weak and outdated security mechanisms that are open to attack.

You pivot from "web infrastructure" to "targeted network" in your 2 posts. The answer is A: Wireless network assessment.

this is a tricky question as the clue to the answer lies in the 'turned off the target network', meaning the auditor know it's a wireless attack, and so would choose to do a wireless network assessment. It is not application assessment as in the CEH course book, it is specifically defined at assessment on web infrastructure. It could be host-based due to the mention of outdated security mechanisms. But due to the fact the auditor knows it's a wireless attack, A would be the best answer

Selected Answer: B

The correct opción is B B. Application assessment Where is te wireless Network here? Johnson's approach of shutting down the target network and testing for any weak and outdated security mechanisms indicates a more general assessment focused on applications and systems, rather than a specific evaluation of wireless networks. Johnson's goal is to identify weaknesses in authentication mechanisms and potential vulnerabilities in applications or systems that could allow for an attack.
