Option A is also important, but it’s SSH, not plaintext.

I’m not so sure, isn’t SSH safer than Telnet?

Option C is the one to go for, Telnet sends data in plaintext.

I could be wrong, but I think the X-Windows session in option B might not be related to credential compromise like Telnet is.

I practiced a similar question, and I think option C is the right choice because Telnet is known for sending data in plaintext.

I remember studying about plaintext vulnerabilities, and I think Telnet is a big one since it sends credentials unencrypted.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like SSH connections are secure, so maybe the answer isn't A?

Wait, what's the difference between useradd and adduser? I'm a little confused about which one to use. And is there a way to verify that the user was created correctly?
