A new protocol that is designed to aid in intrusion protection and IP tracebacks is known as:

Question

Options

• AIntruder Detection and Isolation Protocol (IDIP)
• BIntrusion Detection and Traceback Protocol (IDTP)
• CFacilitating Traceback Protocol (FTP)
• DIntruder Detection and Internet Protocol (IDIP)

• A
  71% (15)
• B
  5% (1)
• C
  10% (2)
• D
  14% (3)

Explanation

Option A is correct because IDIP - Intruder Detection and Isolation Protocol - is specifically designed to support both intrusion protection (detecting and isolating intruders) and IP traceback (tracing the origin of attacks across network boundaries).

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (IDTP) has the right concept ("Traceback" in the name) but the wrong acronym - IDTP doesn't match the actual protocol name, making it a plausible trap.
• C (FTP) is already a well-known acronym for File Transfer Protocol, and "Facilitating Traceback Protocol" is a fabricated name not associated with any real security protocol.
• D shares the same acronym (IDIP) as option A but substitutes "Internet Protocol" for "Isolation Protocol" - a subtle swap designed to trick readers who recognize the acronym but don't recall what the "I" stands for.

Memory tip: Focus on the word "Isolation" - IDIP doesn't just detect intruders, it isolates them. Think: "Detect, Isolate, Protect" → IDIP. If you see IDIP on an exam, the correct expansion ends in Isolation Protocol, not Internet Protocol.
