Right, SSH is more about securing connections, not preventing DoS.

I feel like DoS attacks are not really covered by SSH.

SSH encrypts data, so it helps with that too.

I agree, but what about IP spoofing?
JU

Definitely! Password sniffing is a big risk.
RO

Definitely agree on password sniffing, but not so sure about the others.

Surprised that people think SSH can handle broadcast storms!

Nah, it doesn't really stop DoS attacks.
JE

I think it also helps with IP spoofing.

SSH protects against password sniffing for sure.

C and B, easy peasy. Now, if only I could remember my own passwords...
WE
Werner

C and B, no doubt. SSH is the way to go for secure communication.
JA
Jacklyn

I'm going with C and B. Gotta keep those passwords safe, am I right?
RH
Rhea

Definitely C and B. I can't believe people still try to sniff passwords in this day and age.
BA

C and B are the correct answers. SSH provides protection against password sniffing and IP spoofing.

I don't think SSH protects against DoS attacks or broadcast storms, but I’m pretty confident about it securing against password sniffing.
SU
Susana

I think SSH definitely helps with password sniffing since it encrypts the data, but I'm not sure about the other options.
NO
Noah

Okay, I've got it. SSH provides protection against password sniffing and IP spoofing, since it encrypts the communication between the client and server. The other options don't seem directly related to SSH's security features.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I know SSH is used to establish a secure connection, so it must protect against password sniffing and IP spoofing. But I'm not sure about the other choices - I'll have to think this through carefully.

I think SSH protects against password sniffing.
AL
Alfred

SSH is all about secure communication, so it makes sense that it would protect against things like password sniffing and IP spoofing. I'm not as confident about the other options, though.
AJ
Aja

I’m a bit confused; I thought SSH could help with IP spoofing too, but I can't recall the details.
HA
Harrison

I remember practicing a question about SSH protecting against eavesdropping, which sounds similar to password sniffing.
MA
Marvel

Okay, let's see. SSH definitely provides protection against password sniffing, that's a no-brainer. I'm pretty sure it also helps with IP spoofing, but I'll have to double-check the other choices.

Right, it’s not designed for DoS or broadcast storms.
VI

Not really, I think it’s more about securing data in transit.
ME
