I thought Snort could do a lot, but I can't recall if it has a content inspector feature. I might need to double-check that!

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think the sniffer feature is definitely included. I’m leaning towards option A as well.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like Snort doesn’t work as a firewall. I think it’s more about monitoring and logging.

I remember Snort being primarily an IDS, but I think it can also function as a packet logger and sniffer. So, maybe option A?

Hmm, I know Kerberos is related to authentication, so I'm thinking it's probably an authentication protocol.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. Is skimming when you set a low price to gain acceptance for a new product? Or is that something else? I'll have to think this through carefully.

I don't think Porter's Five Forces Model applies directly to business architecture, but it seems related to competitive analysis.
