I definitely recall that shadow passwords are stored in /etc/shadow, but I hope I got the path right!

Was it /etc/shadow or /etc/passwd? I always mix those two up during my studies.

I remember practicing a question about user authentication, and I think it was /etc/shadow that contained the password hashes.

I think the file is something like /etc/shadow, but I'm not completely sure about the exact path.

I think the simulation test would be the best option here. We can run through the disaster scenario without actually disrupting the live systems.

I believe it could be Get-EventLog, but I also feel like -ListLog implies we might be looking at something broader than just event logs.

I recall the professor saying something about evaluating both probability and impact. It's tricky, but I think I might go with option C on this one.
