Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Correct Answer: C. Session splicing Explanation: The IDS evasion technique that involves an attacker splitting attack traffic into many packets, with the intention of avoiding detection by an Intrusion Detection System (IDS), is "session splicing". The other options listed, SQL injection, buffer overflow, and DDoS, are not IDS evasion techniques that involve packet splitting. SQL injection and buffer overflow are types of application-level attacks that target software vulnerabilities, while DDoS is a type of attack that aims to overwhelm a network or website with traffic to make it unavailable to users.
