An engineer is investigating a case of the unauthorized usage of the `Tcpdump` tool. The analysis revealed that a malicious insider attempted to sniff traffic on a specific interface. What type of information did the malicious insider attempt to obtain?

Answer options

• A. tagged protocols being used on the network
• B. all firewall alerts and resulting mitigations
• C. tagged ports being used on the network
• D. all information and data within the datagram

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because `Tcpdump` is used to capture all data packets transmitted over a network, which includes all information and data within the datagram. Options A, B, and C refer to specific types of network information that do not encompass the complete data captured by `Tcpdump`.
