As a penetration tester, you are tasked with evaluating the security of a WPA2-Enterprise wireless network. Which of the following tools would be the BEST choice for attempting to bypass the network's authentication mechanism?
EAPHammer is the correct answer because it is specifically designed for launching targeted attacks against WPA2-Enterprise networks. It can be used to perform man-in-the-middle attacks against wireless clients. The other options, while useful for wireless penetration testing, are not as effective or efficient in the context of attacking WPA2-Enterprise authentication mechanisms. Aircrack-ng suite is more suited for cracking WEP and WPA2-PSK keys, Kismet is primarily a network detector and packet sniffer, and mdk4 is a tool for exploiting vulnerabilities in the 802.11 protocol but does not focus on the WPA2-Enterprise authentication like EAPHammer does.
