Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. We need to use sudo to launch Snort with the specified config file, and then find the source IP of the traffic triggering an alert on port 156.

Wait, did they say Snort is configured to exit after evaluating 50 packets? That's an unusual setting, but it might help us narrow down the answer.

I hope the answer choices aren't too tricky. Sometimes these certification exams try to mislead you with similar-looking IP addresses.

Ah, I see the key is to find the source IP address of the traffic triggering an alert with a destination port of 156. That's a good way to test our Snort knowledge.

I'm a bit unsure about the 'full mode' part. Does that mean we need to analyze the packet capture in detail?

Hmm, this seems like a straightforward Snort question. I wonder what the catch is.
