I think I practiced a similar question where we had to prioritize volatile data and file slack, but I can't recall the rest of the sequence.

Whoa, this is a tricky one. There are a lot of different data sources to consider, and I'm not 100% sure of the proper order. I'll have to review my notes and try to reason through the best approach.

Wait, is 'interne t' a new type of trace I'm not familiar with? Maybe it's a typo, or a secret government thing. *strokes chin thoughtfully*
