I feel like Password brute force and Nmap Scanning are different types of attacks, so I’m leaning towards SQL Injection for this one.

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. Can injection flaws really involve "denial of access"? I'll have to think about that one.

Okay, let me think this through. Injection flaws allow untrusted data to be executed, and the question is asking about a specific type that involves injecting malicious code. I'm going to go with SQL Injection.

I'm not sure, but I feel like client services need to be enabled for the updates to work. That might be a key factor here.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know infrared is used for short-range communication, but I'm not confident that's the main reason it's more secure. I'll have to think this through a bit more.
