Answer Description

This statement is false because switches are designed to send packets only to the designated port based on the MAC address, starkly contrasting with hubs, which sends packets to all ports. To capture all network traffic, a penetration tester would need to perform a specific attack, such as ARP spoofing, to trick the switch into sending them traffic intended for another host, or otherwise configure the port for mirroring (also known as port spanning).
