C) Honey pot could be useful too, but it’s more of a trap than a defense.

I agree, but A) Packet filtering firewall is simpler and still effective for basic attacks.

I think D) Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall is the best choice. It can analyze traffic more deeply.

I disagree with A. Firewalls can be bypassed easily these days.

Wait, a honey pot for DOS? That sounds weird...

B) Network surveys won't really help against DOS attacks, right?

Definitely A) Packet filtering firewall. It's a solid first line of defense.

I practiced a similar question where the SPI firewall was highlighted as a strong defense against DOS attacks, so I might lean towards that option.

I feel like honey pots are more for detecting attacks rather than preventing them, so I don't think that's the answer here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about packet filtering firewalls being less effective against more sophisticated attacks.

I think a stateful packet inspection firewall could be the best option since it tracks the state of active connections, right?
