IDS signatures for unknown User-Agent strings sounds a bit overkill, right?

Wait, can you really detect all unauthorized installs just by snapshots?

Auditing Active Directory won't really help with software compliance.

I think comparing system snapshots is the best way to monitor changes.

I’m a bit confused about the IDS option. Would creating a signature for unknown User-Agent strings really help with monitoring installed applications?

I feel like I’ve seen a question similar to this before, and I think monitoring changes directly is key, so D could be the best choice.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about port scans being more about network traffic than installed software, so A might not be right.

I think option D makes the most sense since comparing system snapshots can directly show if unauthorized software has been installed.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure on this one. I'll need to re-read the question and the answer choices carefully to make sure I understand the "data minimization" principle correctly.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused here. The question mentions a CIFS share, so I'm not sure if Kerberos would be the right thing to look at. Maybe I should focus more on the data LIF and the node it's on.

Okay, I think I've got this. I'll use the `trivy image` command to scan the two images, filter for high and critical severities, and redirect the output to the specified file. Should be a pretty straightforward task.
