Explanation

A (TRUE) is correct because network attack tracking systems are specifically designed to analyze packet headers and metadata to trace attacks back to their origin - identifying either the source user (via credentials, session data) or the source interface (via IP address, MAC address, port). Once the source is identified, security systems can trigger automated responses: sending alerts/logs to administrators or dropping malicious packets at the network level.

B (FALSE) is incorrect because this capability is a core function of modern Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) and network monitoring tools - it is not beyond their capability.

Memory tip: Think of tracking like a "return address" on a malicious envelope - the system reads the packet's metadata to find where it came from, then either flags the mailman (alert) or refuses delivery (discard). If tracking couldn't find the source, there would be no point in having it.
