A security analyst is writing a PowerShell script to enumerate all user accounts in an Active Directory domain and output their `SamAccountName` and `Enabled` status to a CSV file. The script currently uses `Get-ADUser -Filter *`. The analyst needs to ensure the output file contains only the two required properties and is easily importable by other tools. Which modification should the analyst make?

Pipe the results directly to `Export-Csv -Path users.csv` without any intermediate cmdlet.

Use `Get-ADUser -Properties SamAccountName, Enabled` and then `Out-File users.csv`.

Use `Format-Table SamAccountName, Enabled` and redirect the output to a `.txt` file.

Pipe the results to `Select-Object SamAccountName, Enabled` and then to `Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation`.

A penetration tester has a Python script that uses the `requests` library to enumerate directories on a web server. The script currently checks for HTTP 200 responses to identify valid directories. The tester needs to modify the script to also identify directories that return HTTP 403 (Forbidden) because they might contain sensitive files. The tester wants to minimize false positives from soft 404s. Which modification should the tester make?

Modify the condition to accept both status codes 200 and 403, and also compare the response body size against a baseline 404 response to filter out soft 404s.

Change the condition to accept any status code less than 500.

Add a check for the `Content-Length` header to ensure it is greater than zero.

Use the `allow_redirects=False` parameter and only accept status code 403.
