Which two actions can the sinkhole technique be used to perform? (Choose two.)

A sinkhole does not delay an attack - it redirects traffic immediately with no buffering or time-delay mechanism involved.

A sinkhole works by altering DNS records or routing entries so that traffic bound for a malicious or attacked destination is diverted to a controlled server, effectively pulling the attack away from its intended target.

Because all redirected traffic lands on the sinkhole server, security teams can inspect it to observe attack patterns, scan behavior, botnet callbacks, and other malicious activity in a controlled and safe environment.

A sinkhole does not reverse the direction of an attack back toward the attacker; it simply diverts traffic to a controlled monitoring point without retaliating.
