During a network security assessment, several hosts broadcast name queries due to default configurations. Which tool helps intercept those queries and capture hashed authentication data from devices sending them?
Responder
Netcat
CrackMapExec
Nmap
Responder is purpose-built to spoof LLMNR/NBNS/mDNS requests and capture the resulting NTLM authentication hashes from unwitting hosts. Netcat, Nmap, and CrackMapExec serve other roles—port scanning, raw socket communication, or authenticated post-exploitation—and lack broadcast-spoofing functionality. Therefore, Responder is the most effective tool for intercepting these queries and harvesting hashes.
