I thought THC-Hydra could do it too, but I guess not!

I think THC-Hydra is more for brute-forcing login forms, so it might not help with hashed passwords.

This is a straightforward password cracking question. Netcat is definitely not the right tool for the job - that's more for network connections and data transfers. I'm going with either John the Ripper or Hashcat.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Hashcat and John the Ripper are powerful password cracking tools, but I'm not familiar with netcat or how it might be used in this scenario. I'll have to think about this carefully.

Okay, let me think this through. We have a list of hashed passwords, so we need a tool that can crack those hashes. John the Ripper and Hashcat are the obvious choices here.

Hmm, this seems straightforward. I'll start by thinking about the key pages where the customer support agents would need to adjust points for Loyalty Program members.

I've got a good feeling about this one. I remember discussing vulnerability groups in class, so I think I can narrow it down.

This seems straightforward enough. Since we want to return only the columns from transactionsDf that have a corresponding transactionId in itemsDf, a 'left_semi' join should do the trick. I'll go with option D.

I think option C is the correct answer - the target defined for the project was inappropriate since the automation regime is not yet mature at the end of the pilot.
