I thought port scanning was passive too, but I guess not!

Wait, are we sure webcrawling isn't passive? Seems kinda gray.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think sending web bugs is definitely an active method, so that can’t be right.

I remember discussing passive reconnaissance techniques, and I think webcrawling might be considered more active than passive.

This seems like a straightforward question about contract management. I'm pretty confident I know the answer, but I'll double-check my notes just to be sure.

I remember practicing with clustering algorithms, and K-means was the one that stood out the most for similar problems. Hope I'm right!

Aren't virtual environments also useful when developing the same app on different systems? I think option C could be one.

I'm gonna have to go with C on this one. Searching job ads is like playing 'Guess the Tech Stack' - a fun, low-risk way to get the intel you need.

Haha, A is the winner! Sending web bugs is the ultimate passive attack. It's like having a tiny spy in your enemy's camp, except the spy is a tiny bug. Genius!
