I think it just logs the actions, not blocks them.

No way, it actually blocks executables in that path!

If I recall correctly, the "Bypass" action means that it won't block anything, so maybe A is the right choice? But I'm not completely confident.

This question feels familiar; I practiced a similar one where wildcards allowed broader access. I wonder if that's the case here too.

I think using wildcards means that all executables in that directory and its subdirectories are included, but I'm not clear on whether they get blocked or logged.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The wildcard means the rule applies to the entire 'Program Files' directory and its subdirectories, so I'm going with option A.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I'll start by considering the impact of the wildcard, then match that to the possible answers.

The use of wildcards in the application path field is the key here. I think I know the answer, but I want to double-check my understanding.

I bet the correct answer is D. Bypassing all 'Program Files' executables? That's just asking for trouble.

Haha, good luck trying to sneak past the admin with that rule. They're probably just testing us to see if we can spot the potential loophole.
