I agree, data-driven hunting looks for patterns in the data we already have.

Haha, I bet the data-driven hunters are just drowning in all that data! Option B is the way to go.

Option D seems like the right answer to me. Data-driven hunting looks for activity within the data, while hypothesis-driven hunting starts with a suspected activity and searches for it.

That makes sense. Hypothesis-driven hunting sounds like it starts with a suspected activity and searches for it.

I think the main difference is that data-driven hunting starts with existing data.

I think option B is the correct answer. Data-driven hunting starts with the data and tries to uncover potential threats, while hypothesis-driven hunting starts with a potential threat and looks for evidence in the data.

I see your point. Data-driven hunting seems like it could be more efficient in uncovering unknown threats within existing data.

I think you're right. Hypothesis-driven hunting seems more reactive, starting with a suspicion and then searching for evidence.
