What are two ways that packet fragmentation can allow an attacker to evade an IPS sensor? (Choose two.)
A . IPS sensors cannot perform fragmentation and reassembly, forcing them to permit fragmented packets through the IPS sensor.
B . IPS sensors that do not reassemble fragmented packets may fail to recognize the payload as an attack.
C . Packet fragments hide the destination address of the payload, preventing the IPS from learning the hosts being attacked.
D . IPS sensors may interpret fragments differently than end hosts, allowing attacks through the sensor.
E . Setting the DNF-bit can force the IPS sensor to permit packets sent to it as a sequence of fragments, because the IPS sees them as error frames.
