I mean, it's gotta be B. Vulnerability. Honestly, I'm more interested in learning how to exploit those weaknesses. Just for educational purposes, of course.

This is easy. It's B, vulnerability. You know, the Achilles' heel of the whole system. Juicy target for any hacker worth their salt.

Definitely B. Vulnerability. Can't have an attack without finding the chinks in the armor first.
