TCP injection is an attack where the attacker sends crafted packets into an existing TCP session. These packets appear to be part of the session.
The presence of many SYN packets with the same sequence number, source, and destination IP but different payloads indicates that an attacker might be injecting packets into the session.
This method can be used to disrupt communication, inject malicious commands, or manipulate the data being transmitted.

Wait, can web apps really prevent buffer overflows? Sounds off.

Input sanitization definitely rings a bell as a key defense against buffer overflows. I hope that's the right choice!

I feel like using a Linux OS could help with security, but I don't recall it being a direct prevention method for buffer overflows.

I remember practicing a question about buffer overflows, and I think randomization might help, but it doesn't seem like the main solution.

I think input sanitization is really important for preventing buffer overflow attacks, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the only method.

Using a Linux OS? I don't think the operating system itself is the main factor in preventing buffer overflows. It's more about the coding practices and input validation techniques used. I'm leaning towards C as the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure on this one. I know buffer overflows are a common attack vector, but I'm not totally clear on the best way to prevent them. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty sure the answer is C - input sanitization. That's a key technique for preventing buffer overflow attacks by validating and cleaning user input.

Variable randomization? That doesn't sound right to me. I think the key is making sure you properly validate and limit the input that users can provide. C seems like the best answer here.

I think this question is testing our understanding of how file quarantine works on an endpoint. I'll need to carefully consider the different options to determine the correct answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem to cover a range of supplier-related features, but I'm not sure which three are the most important for maintaining them. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is the diamond symbol for indicating direction, or is it for a decision point? I'll have to review my notes to make sure I have the right understanding.
