I see what you're saying, Rashad. But replay attack specifically involves reusing captured data to impersonate the original sender.

Actually, I think the statement is true. The attackers do capture and re-transmit packets.

I agree with Annelle. Replay attack involves retransmitting captured packets.

I believe it's false because a replay attack doesn't involve capturing packets with passwords or digital signatures.

I'm with Chandra on this one. The question doesn't explicitly mention the 'replay' part of a replay attack. I think I'll go with A) False, just to be safe. We don't want to get caught off guard on the exam, right?

You know, this question reminds me of that old networking joke: 'What do you call a hacker who steals your password? A replay attack!' *chuckles* Anyway, I think Billi and 2 have the right idea. B) True is the way to go.

I can see both sides of the argument here. The question does seem a bit vague, but I think the core idea of a replay attack is accurately described. I'll go with B) True, but I'll also make a note to dig deeper into the specifics of replay attacks during my study sessions.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Doesn't a replay attack also involve the attacker replaying the captured packets to impersonate a legitimate user? The question seems to focus only on the packet capturing part. I might go with A) False, just to be on the safe side.

I agree with Billi. Replay attack is a well-known security threat, and the description in the question is accurate. We need to be vigilant about this kind of attack, especially in today's world of increased online activity and data exchange.

Well, this is a straightforward question. Replay attack is definitely a type of attack where attackers capture packets and reuse them later. It's not just about passwords or digital signatures, but any kind of sensitive information that can be used to gain unauthorized access. I'm going with B) True on this one.
