MAC flooding seems familiar, and I recall that assigning static entries can help mitigate it. Could option D be the answer?

I think DNS spoofing was covered in our last class, but I'm confused about whether encrypting communication protocols would really help with that.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like SYN flooding was mentioned in a practice question. Blocking malicious packets sounds like a good preventive measure, so maybe option B?

ARP spoofing, eh? I bet the answer is to just assign static MAC addresses and call it a day. Keeping those hackers on their toes, am I right?
