Buffer overflows are a different thing, not rootkit stuff!

Wait, are we sure it's not D? That sounds plausible too.

I thought they just opened ports, but I guess it's more about stealth.

Rootkits mainly replace legitimate programs to hide their presence.

I'm a bit confused; I thought rootkits were more about exploiting vulnerabilities rather than just replacing programs. Could it be A instead?

I feel like I've seen a question like this before, and it was about how rootkits can provide unauthorized access, which might relate to option D.

I remember studying that rootkits can manipulate system processes, so maybe option C is the right choice?

I think rootkits are mainly about hiding things, but I'm not sure if that means replacing programs or just opening ports.

Okay, let's see. The question says the Architect needs to create a read-only role, so I'm thinking we need to grant USAGE on the database and SELECT on the tables.

I'm pretty confident I know the difference between entities, relationships, and attributes in an ER diagram, so I'll carefully analyze the symbols and choose the best answer.

CSRF sounds familiar, but I'm not certain if that directly relates to modifying prices. It's more about unauthorized actions, isn't it?

I'm pretty confident that Option A is the way to go. Creating a custom KM to handle this is the most robust solution.
