SYN Scan is the go-to for quick checks, no doubt!

I thought Connect() scan was more common.

Wait, are we sure it works through all firewalls?

Totally agree, it’s the stealthy option!

It's definitely A, SYN Scan.

The XMAS Scan and Null Scan seem more complex, but I feel like they don't fit the description as well as the SYN Scan does.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about the Connect() scan completing the handshake, so it can't be the answer.

I think the SYN Scan is the one that starts the TCP handshake but doesn't complete it. It’s often used for stealthy scanning.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think SYN Scan was the right choice there too. It’s definitely effective through firewalls!

Okay, I think I've got this. The question is asking about the competitors of energy base products, so I'll need to evaluate each option based on that.

Ah, I see now. Commenting out line 19 is the key to getting the output "AB". I'm feeling confident about this one.

Okay, I've got this. I'll use the `round()` function and pass in the value and the number of digits to round to. That should do the trick!

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know risk responses can impact the project, but I'm not totally clear on how that would lead to updating the baselines. I'll need to think this through carefully.
