I agree with A and B, but D feels like overkill.

StackGuard and Immunix System sound familiar, but I’m not confident they directly relate to sniffer attacks.

I feel like reducing the range of the network could help, but I can't recall if it's a complete solution against sniffers.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think using switches instead of hubs was one of the correct answers.

I'm a little confused by the last option about reducing the range of wireless networks. Does that really help against sniffer attacks on wired networks? I'll need to double-check that one.

Okay, let's see. Using encrypted protocols, switches instead of hubs, and tools like StackGuard seem like good options to protect against sniffers. I'll make sure to select those.

This is a good networking question. I remember learning about default routes and how routers handle situations where they can't find the next hop. I think the answer is to forward the packet to the default route, but I'll double-check my understanding just to be sure.

B) Use switches instead of hubs since they switch communications, which means that information is delivered only to the predefined host.
