Wait, I thought containers were supposed to be all secure and stuff. Guess Jacob found a way to break out of the sandbox, huh? C) for the win, I reckon.

Ah, the classic 'overload the containers and restrict services' move. Looks like a good old-fashioned replay attack to me. D) has my vote!

Hold up, did you say 'Docker registry'? That's a new one on me. But hey, if the attacker's trying to mess with the organization's reputation, B) could be the answer. Gotta protect those registries, yo!

Hmm, I'm not sure. Jacob seems to have targeted the whole container network, not just a single one. Maybe it's a cross-container attack? A) sounds like the way to go here.

I think you're right, a cross-container attack makes sense in this scenario.

Whoa, this sounds like a serious container breach! I'm gonna go with C) Container escaping attack. That's when an attacker gets out of the container and into the host system, right? Gotta keep those containers secure, folks!
