Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) — Question 208

Which technique describes altering the data content and avoiding identification?

Answer options

• A. data modification, such as hashing
• B. catching clear text data transfer
• C. data in transit hijacking
• D. obfuscation, such as tunneling

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Obfuscation, such as tunneling, is the correct answer because it specifically refers to techniques that disguise or alter data to prevent identification. Data modification, while it involves changing data, does not inherently focus on avoiding identification. The other options discuss data interception or capture, which do not relate to altering data content.
