I thought cross-site scripting was more common for this?

Buffer overflow sounds familiar, but I don't think it fits this scenario. I feel like beaconing is the best choice, though.

Cross-site scripting doesn't seem right here, but I'm not completely confident about the other options.

I remember practicing a question about unusual traffic patterns, and I think beaconing was mentioned as a potential sign of compromise.

I think this might be related to beaconing since it involves communication with a known-malicious IP. But I'm not entirely sure.
