Wait, are we sure it’s a Smurf attack? Seems too obvious.

I have a vague memory that the Jolt attack is related to a different kind of vulnerability, so I'm leaning towards Smurf as the answer.

I practiced a question about DoS attacks, and I feel like the Teardrop attack is more about packet fragmentation, not this scenario.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the Fraggle attack is similar to the Smurf attack. They both use ICMP, right?

I remember studying DoS attacks, and the Smurf attack specifically involves IP-directed broadcasts, so I think that's the right answer.

I'm a bit confused about the options. Do we need to install Prometheus on a Windows VM or a Linux VM? And what's the difference between the Azure Diagnostics extension and the containerized agent for Azure Monitor?

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the wording of this question. I'll need to review my notes on the different server types and their credential requirements.
