I think both B) Host-based intrusion detection and C) Log file monitoring could be correct. They both focus on specific host activities.

True, true. I'm feeling pretty confident about B) Host-based intrusion detection now. Let's just hope the exam question doesn't try to trick us with some obscure IDS technology we've never heard of!

Good point. Log file monitoring and file integrity checking are more like supporting tools or techniques that can be used in conjunction with an IDS, but they're not full-fledged IDS solutions on their own.

I agree, but what about the other options? I'm a bit iffy on C) Log file monitoring and D) File integrity checking. Are those considered types of intrusion detection systems too?

Exactly! The question specifically says the IDS gathers and analyzes information from within a computer or network, so host-based is the way to go.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. A host-based IDS monitors and analyzes events on a specific host or system, whereas a network-based IDS looks at traffic across the network.
