Birthday attacks are not relevant here, just saying!

Wait, can a token really do offline checking? Sounds sketchy.

The PIN is only 4 digits, so brute force is super easy.

I think it's more of a man-in-the-middle situation.

Definitely a brute force attack.

Man-in-the-middle seems off because that usually involves intercepting communications, not just guessing a PIN.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like brute force is the most likely answer since the attacker could just keep trying different PINs.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about birthday attacks being more about hashing and collisions, so that doesn't seem right here.

I think this might be related to brute force attacks since the token checks the PIN offline, allowing multiple attempts without alerting the system.

Okay, this one seems pretty clear to me. The receptionist's change in mood, frequent sick days, and neglect of duties are classic signs of stress. I'm going to go with option C.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. I'll have to think it through carefully. Maybe I should review the material on filtering dashboard content again.
