Just compare the hashes, it’s simple math!

Hashing is solid, but what if the attacker altered the hash too?

I’m not so sure, MD5 isn’t foolproof.

The MD5 hash is a good way to check file integrity.

I think I recall that we should use a tool to compute the hash of the leaked file and compare it with the one in OriginalFileHash.txt. If they differ, then yes, it’s been modified.

I feel a bit confused about MD5's reliability. I know it's not the strongest, but if the hash matches, then the file should be unaltered, right?

This seems similar to that practice question where we had to check file integrity. I think if the hashes don't match, it means the file was modified.

I remember we practiced comparing hash values in class, but I'm not entirely sure how to do it with MD5 specifically.

This looks like a straightforward question on storage protocols for VMFS datastores. I'll start by reviewing the options and thinking through which two would be the correct answers.

This seems like a straightforward question about network video products. I'll carefully read through the options and think about why keeping a list of serial numbers could be useful.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. I think the main disadvantage is that the diagram can become significantly larger when changing from a general architecture to a State Machine. That can make it harder to manage and understand.

I think failures can also depend on material thickness, but I definitely recall the impact transition temperature being really crucial.
