Jess the hacker runs L0phtCrack’s built-in sniffer utility that grabs SMB password hashes and stores them for offline cracking. Once cracked, these passwords can provide easy access to whatever network resources the user account has access to. But Jess is not picking up hashes from the network. Why?
A.
The network protocol is configured to use SMB Signing
B.
The physical network wire is on fibre optic cable
C.
The network protocol is configured to use IPSEC
D.
L0phtCrack SMB sniffing only works through Switches and not Hubs
So the correct answer is C (as per – http://www.aiotestking.com/ec-council/2011/09/jess-picking-hashed-network/#comment-321)
The correct answer should C as well. I had clarified this with my instructor. For people working on this test you should clarify this too.
