File integrity auditing, huh? I bet the hackers use 'File Integrity Undermining' to keep us on our toes. Gotta stay one step ahead of those digital troublemakers!

Spoofing? What, like pretending to be someone else's computer? Nope, this is definitely about checking your own files, not impersonating others.

Exactly, it's about verifying the integrity of your files to ensure they haven't been tampered with.

Yeah, it's definitely not about looking over someone's shoulder. It's about comparing cryptographic hash functions of system executables and configuration files.

Reconnaissance? Nah, that's more about gathering information about a target, not verifying file integrity. Gotta be option B.

Shoulder surfing? Really? That's just watching someone type their password, not auditing file hashes. Come on, this one's too easy.

I think file integrity auditing is the process of comparing hash functions to ensure system executables and configuration files haven't been tampered with. Seems like the most relevant option here.
