You have enabled Tripwire on your Linux system. Which location is best for storing the database file?

1D0-470
B.
In the default location
C.
On a write-protected floppy disk attached to the system
D.

Explanation:
Tripwire is an intrusion detection security product. It scans the system and produces a database that snapshots the system. Then at a later time, the system administrator can run a check against the database to see if anything changed. By using a CD-R, which has been closed and not in a writer drive, the CD will be read-only and a hacker would not be able to modify the actual CD if the hacker should gain access to the CD drive.
Incorrect Answers:
A: A CD-RW drive can still write on the CD, and if a hacker gains access to the drive, the database might be modified to hide the tracks. Or, the database could be erased or corrupted so that no one can check the system to se where the hacker modified the system.
C: A Floppy will not be large enough to hold the database.
