B) Anomaly-based is the way to go. Messy's clearly a pro at this, and that's the only option that matches the description. Now, if only he could do something about that name...

I agree, anomaly-based is the best choice for detecting deviations from normal behavior.

The question is a bit too straightforward, don't you think? I'm going to go with D) Application proxy just to keep things interesting. Who knows, maybe Messy has a few tricks up his sleeve!

I think it's C) Signature-based. That's a common choice for network defenders.

Hmm, this one's a bit tricky. I'm torn between B) Anomaly-based and C) Signature-based. But I'll go with B since Messy seems to be a pretty savvy network defender.

User2: Yeah, that makes sense. Anomaly-based IDS would be a good choice for detecting deviations from normal behavior.

User1: I think it's B) Anomaly-based too. Messy probably wants to catch any unusual behavior.

I think the answer is B) Anomaly-based. The scenario describes an IDS that compares observed events with normal behavior to detect deviations, which is the hallmark of an anomaly-based IDS.
