This is a classic case of trying to trick the exam takers. The correct answers are clearly B) and C). Any network admin worth their salt knows that's the core of a network-based IDS.

Hmm, I'd say all of the above are correct. The sensors need to collect data from various sources, analyze for known threats, and alert the console. That's how a robust network-based IDS works.

The key functions of the sensors are definitely B) and C). Collecting data from OS logs and web servers won't give you a complete picture of network intrusions. The sensors need to analyze for known signatures and notify the console if any intrusion is detected.

I believe the sensors should also collect data from Web servers to have a comprehensive view of the network activity.

I agree with Ranee. The sensors need to perform all those functions to ensure the network security is maintained.

I think the key functions of the sensors would be to collect data from operating system logs, notify the console with an alert if any intrusion is detected, and analyze for known signatures.
