Phishing is an attack that involves impersonating a trusted entity to extract information, with variants including email phishing, spear phishing, and smishing
DoS attacks are aimed at application-level vulnerabilities, while DDoS attacks target network hardware.
DDoS attacks use multiple sources to flood a target with traffic, while DoS attacks come from a single source.
An exploit is a tool used to attack a system, while a vulnerability is a weakness in a system that can be exploited.
An exploit is a method to bypass security controls, while a vulnerability is a feature that improves security.
Man-in-the-Middle intercepts and alters data, while Man-in-the-Dark involves actively modifying data.
Man-in-the-Middle is used to decrypt encrypted communications, while Man-in-the-Dark simply monitors traffic.
Man-in-the-Middle requires physical access to the network, while Man-in-the-Dark is carried out over the internet.
Man-in-the-Middle attacks involve intercepting communications between two parties, while Man-in-the-Dark involves silent monitoring of communications without active interference.
Ransomware is a type of malware that uses social engineering tactics to trick individuals into revealing their personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers.
Ransomware is a type of malware that spreads through websites, redirecting users to phishing pages to collect sensitive data.
Ransomware is a form of malware that automatically deletes files on a computer unless a ransom is paid to the attacker.
Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a victim's files and demands a ransom payment for the decryption key.
Security threats originating from within the organization, often involving disgruntled employees or those who unintentionally expose internal systems to external threats.
An attack that alters DNS records to redirect online traffic to malicious sites without the user’s knowledge, often used to steal data or inject malware.
A form of cybersquatting that exploits common typing errors of popular website URLs to redirect users to malicious sites.
Malicious software that pretends to be legitimate security or utility software but is actually designed to damage or steal data from the user's computer.
A strategy where attackers compromise a website frequented by the target group, intending to infect visitors with malware.
An attack that alters DNS records to redirect online traffic to malicious sites without the user’s knowledge, often used to steal data or inject malware.
An attack that tests a single commonly used password across many different accounts, relying on the likelihood that at least one user will have used that password.
Malicious software that pretends to be legitimate security or utility software but is actually designed to damage or steal data from the user's computer.
A type of attack where attackers use large volumes of compromised username-password pairs from previous breaches to attempt unauthorized access to multiple accounts.
A method where malicious code is downloaded onto a device simply by visiting a compromised or malicious website, often without the user's knowledge or consent.
The act of impersonating another device, user, or website to trick systems or people into revealing sensitive information.
A form of cybersquatting that exploits common typing errors of popular website URLs to redirect users to malicious sites.
Malicious software that pretends to be legitimate security or utility software but is actually designed to damage or steal data from the user's computer.
A deceptive attempt to acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details, by disguising as a trustworthy entity in electronic communications.
A type of attack where attackers use large volumes of compromised username-password pairs from previous breaches to attempt unauthorized access to multiple accounts.
Security threats originating from within the organization, often involving disgruntled employees or those who unintentionally expose internal systems to external threats.
An attack where the attacker secretly intercepts and possibly alters the communication between two parties who believe they are directly communicating with each other.
An attack aimed at overwhelming a target (usually a website or online service) with massive traffic, making it unavailable to legitimate users.
A deceptive attempt to acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details, by disguising as a trustworthy entity in electronic communications.
Malicious software that encrypts the victim's data, demanding a ransom for the decryption key. It's often delivered through phishing emails or compromised websites.
A code injection technique that exploits vulnerabilities in applications that interact with databases, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands.
An attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts by systematically trying all possible combinations of passwords or keys.
A broad category of malicious software designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise the security of a device, network, or system. Includes viruses, worms, trojans, and spyware.
