The correct answer is that mdk4 is a tool used in wireless penetration testing to perform denial-of-service attacks against Wi-Fi networks by utilizing methods such as deauthentication and disassociation frames. This disrupts the communications between Wi-Fi clients and Access Points (APs), making it a valuable tool for testing network resilience and the effectiveness of wireless intrusion detection/prevention systems. Answer B, "Searching for hidden networks", is incorrect as this activity is typically performed by tools designed to analyze beacon frames and probe responses, such as Kismet. Answer C, "Conducting penetration tests on web applications", is obviously incorrect because mdk4 is specifically tailored for wireless network attacks rather than web application testing. Answer D, "Cracking Wi-Fi network passwords", is also incorrect, as mdk4 does not crack passwords but instead disrupts network communications.
