I always thought it was just package.json, interesting!

I feel like I’ve seen practice questions that included both files as relevant, so C might be the right choice after all.

I’m a bit confused. I thought we only focused on package.json for JavaScript dependencies, but now I’m second-guessing.

I remember we discussed both files in class, so maybe the answer is C? It seems like they both could have private package info.

I think it's package.json since it’s commonly used in Node.js projects, but I'm not entirely sure about requirements.txt.

Okay, I think I've got this. Dependency confusion attacks focus on the package dependencies, so the file that would be analyzed is the one that contains those dependencies. That would be the package.json file, so I'm going to select option A.

Ah, this is a good one. Based on my understanding of dependency confusion attacks, the attackers would likely analyze both the package.json and requirements.txt files to identify potential private packages that could be targeted. So I'm going to go with option C, both A and B.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know dependency confusion attacks target package dependencies, but I'm not sure if it's just the package.json file or if the requirements.txt file could also be analyzed. I might have to do a quick review of dependency confusion attacks before answering.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I think the key is to focus on the file that contains package dependencies, so I'm going to go with option A, package.json.

Wait, I'm a little confused. Do we need to consider the gain of the EDFAs as well? I'm not sure if that impacts the OSNR calculation.

Okay, I've got this. Based on my understanding, the system control board for the IDU910A can only be inserted into Slot 4. I'm confident that option A is the correct answer.

This looks like a networking question about BGP routing. I think the key is understanding the "as-path-set" command and what expression can be used to match the AS path attribute.

This seems straightforward enough. I'll review the options and choose the ones that look like they'll let me delete the slicer without having to open any drop-down lists. Gotta love those time-saving shortcuts!

Wait, is the requirements.txt file a thing in JavaScript too? I thought that was just a Python thing. This exam is really testing our cross-language knowledge.

The package.json file would definitely be the one to analyze for potential private packages in a Dependency Confusion Attack. That's where all the package dependencies are listed.
