New TCP/IP features could be a reason, but not the main one.

Really? I doubt it's just that. There are other factors at play.

New features in the TCP/IP stack could be a factor, but I’m not convinced it’s the main reason. It feels like the tools are the bigger issue.

I feel like I saw a practice question about the availability of hacking tools before. It really seems to lower the barrier for entry for attackers.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the increase in processing power might also play a role in making attacks more effective.

I remember studying about how hacker tools have become more accessible online, which seems like a big reason for the rise in hacking incidents.

This seems like a classic network analysis problem. I'd start by creating a network dataset from the roads or other transportation features, then use a network analysis tool like the Closest Facility or Service Area analysis to find the optimal routes.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the details here. I'll need to re-read the question carefully and think through the different options to make sure I understand the nuances.

I'm not entirely sure about the process though. There were so many steps and options in our practice questions that I could get it wrong.
