While inspecting a building’s radio-based network, a security specialist finds an unapproved broadcasting device. Which method best verifies if this device compromises transmission security?
Run a credential sweep with common passwords on the device
Inspect addresses for unusual traffic without decryption
Use a specialized receiver to capture initial connections and attempt decryption in a lab
Capturing initial connections and analyzing them offline reveals vulnerabilities in encryption strength. Review of logs through a console does not confirm actual cryptographic resilience in a hostile scenario. Checking IP addresses without decryption overlooks how traffic is secured. Running a credential scan with default passwords does not test deep encryption or authentication methods.
