Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 526

Which of the following acts as a network intrusion detection system as well as network intrusion prevention system?

Answer options

• A. Accunetix
• B. Nikto
• C. Snort
• D. Kismet

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Snort is the correct answer because it is specifically designed to perform both intrusion detection and prevention in a network environment. Accunetix and Nikto are web application security scanners and do not provide network-level intrusion detection or prevention. Kismet is a wireless network detector and does not serve as an intrusion detection or prevention system.
