You are creating a high-quality cybersecurity instruction-training dataset.

TOPIC:
{topic}

Generate exactly {QUESTIONS_PER_BATCH} UNIQUE cybersecurity questions.

Difficulty distribution:
- 20% beginner
- 50% intermediate
- 30% advanced

Include a mixture of:
- conceptual reasoning
- troubleshooting
- defensive investigation
- network/system diagnosis
- code analysis
- configuration analysis
- log or packet analysis
- realistic security scenarios
- comparisons
- edge cases

STRICT QUALITY REQUIREMENTS:
1. Every technical premise must be accurate.
2. Do not invent commands, protocol fields, configuration options,
   security mechanisms, or operating-system behavior.
3. Do not confuse concepts from different protocol layers.
4. Avoid trivial variations of the same question.
5. Prefer reasoning and diagnosis over simple definitions.
6. Every scenario must contain enough information to meaningfully answer it.
7. If you are uncertain about a technical premise, do NOT include it.
8. Offensive-security material must be framed as authorized testing,
   CTF/lab work, security research, analysis, or defense.
9. Do NOT provide answers.
10. Silently verify every question before including it.
