I feel like I might be mixing up components; I know sensors are involved, but I can't recall if gateways are part of an IDS.

I practiced a similar question, and I think it was about sensors and consoles being the main components. I hope I got that right!

I think the console is important for monitoring alerts, but I’m a bit confused about whether the firewall is included in an IDS.

A and E, no doubt. Although I can't help but wonder if the test authors are trying to slip in a trick question or two, just to keep us on our toes. Maybe they'll throw in a 'Ouija board' as a potential answer, just to see who's paying attention.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Maybe A and B? Although, come to think of it, a firewall is more of a preventative measure, not a detection system. Oh well, time to guess and hope for the best!

B and C? Are you kidding me? A firewall and a modem? This isn't an exam for a home network setup. Gotta be A and E, come on now.
