The correct social engineering attack vectors are tailgating and shoulder surfing.
Tailgating is correctly identified because the intruder physically followed a credentialed user through an access point without authenticating. Shoulder surfing is correctly identified because the intruder observed the physical entry of confidential credentials onto a workstation keyboard.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the physical access mechanism described in the scenario.
The unauthorized individual entered the secure facility by following an authorized employee through a badge-access door without credential verification, defining tailgating.
Tailgating relies on physical proximity to bypass electronic entry controls.
2
Analyze the information-gathering method described in the scenario.
The intruder visually observed and recorded an administrator entering sensitive credentials onto a keyboard from a nearby location, defining shoulder surfing.
Shoulder surfing relies on direct observation of user inputs or displays without verbal interaction.
