Explanation
Answer: C - The computer crime method that includes tracking and exploiting network traffic is password sniffing. Several tools are available on the Internet that provide this functionality. Capturing a password is tricky because it is a piece of data that is usually only used when a user wants to authenticate into a domain or access a resource.
