What key factor must be considered when setting brute force rate limiting and blocking?
Answer options
- A. A single client contacting multiple resources
- B. Multiple clients sharing a single Internet connection
- C. Multiple clients from geographically diverse locations
- D. Multiple clients connecting to multiple resources
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B because multiple clients sharing a single Internet connection can trigger rate limiting mechanisms inadvertently, leading to legitimate users being blocked. The other options involve scenarios that do not significantly impact the effectiveness of brute force protection measures in the same way.
