Wow, Jacob really got creative with this one! I bet he's the kind of hacker who has a secret collection of cat videos on his laptop. Anyways, I reckon the correct answer is B, a cross-container attack.

I don't know, guys. This seems more like a replay attack to me. Jacob compromised the network defaults and then replayed that attack to take down the rest of the containers. Option D is the way to go, in my opinion.

Haha, Jacob really went all out, didn't he? Targeting the whole container infrastructure, what a bold move! I'd say this is a clear case of option B, a cross-container attack. The guy's got some skills, I'll give him that.

I'm not so sure about that. The question mentions that Jacob overloaded the containers and restricted them from providing services, which sounds more like a container escaping attack to me. I think C is the correct answer here.

Hmm, this sounds like a classic case of a cross-container attack. Jacob exploited the weak network defaults to compromise a single container and then used that foothold to target the rest of the containers in the domain. That's definitely option B.

Definitely a cross-container attack, Jacob was strategic in targeting multiple containers within the domain.

Cross-container attacks are dangerous because once one container is compromised, it can be used as a launching pad to target the rest. Jacob's strategy definitely falls under this category.

I agree, a cross-container attack is when an attacker gains access to one container and uses it to attack others in the same domain. Jacob's actions align with this type of attack.

I believe it could also be a Container escaping attack, as Jacob compromised a single container and then restricted the others from providing services.
