Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

The scenario describes an attacker who has gained access to the syslog server and uses the log entries to prioritize future targets. This is an example of passive network footprinting, where the attacker gathers information without interacting directly with the systems themselves. Instead, they rely on available data such as logs to understand the network and identify potential targets.
