Exam CS0-003 topic 1 question 289 discussion

This is a clear attempt at A. Directory traversal. Directory traversal is an attack technique where an attacker tries to access files and directories outside the intended scope by manipulating URL paths or file paths. In this case, the attacker is trying to access the boot.ini file, which is typically located in the root directory of a Windows system.

This indicates an attempt to traverse directories upward in the file system to access sensitive files.
