I disagree, D seems more like a technical attack than social engineering.

I feel like option D is more about network attacks, so I wouldn't choose that one for social engineering.

I think option A is definitely a type of social engineering attack since it involves impersonation to gain access.

This is a good one to practice. I'd say the key is identifying the attacks that rely on manipulating people rather than just technical vulnerabilities. A and C seem like the clear social engineering choices here.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know social engineering is about exploiting people, but I'm not sure if all of these options qualify. I'll have to review my notes on the different types of social engineering attacks.

Okay, I've got this. A and C are definitely social engineering attacks where the attacker tricks people into giving up information or access. The other options seem more like technical attacks.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not sure if B and D would also be considered social engineering attacks. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Tricky one, but A and C are the social engineering attacks, no doubt about it. The others are more technical.
