Not sure about that, I thought network-based was more common.

I definitely recall that host-based intrusion detection is designed for specific systems, so I would go with B for this question.

I’m a bit confused between host-based and log file monitoring. I feel like both could relate to auditing events on a host.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think network-based IDS monitors traffic rather than specific hosts, so it must be B.

I think host-based intrusion detection is the right answer because it focuses on specific hosts, but I'm not completely sure.

I've got a good handle on this topic, so I'm confident that B is the right answer. Host-based intrusion detection systems monitor activities on a specific host, which is what the question is asking about.

Okay, let me see. A network-based IDS monitors the network traffic, while a host-based IDS focuses on events on a specific host. I think B is the correct answer.

File integrity checking? Really? That's more of a prevention technique, not detection. Silly options!
