I'm a bit confused about recipient filtering; I don't think it applies to botnets, but I can't remember the details on the other options.

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify network attack techniques, and I think BPF-based filters were the correct choice there too.

Recipient filtering? That doesn't sound right to me. I'm leaning towards one of the other options, but I'll have to double-check my notes.

I'm a little lost on this one. I know we covered botnet detection, but I can't quite recall the specific technique. Guess I'll have to think it through.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. Botnets are networks of infected devices, so we'd want a technique that can identify that kind of activity. I'm going to go with BPF-based filter.
