  2. Organizationally unique identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizationally_unique...

    An organizationally unique identifier (OUI) is a 24-bit number that uniquely identifies a vendor, manufacturer, or other organization.. OUIs are purchased from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Registration Authority by the assignee (IEEE term for the vendor, manufacturer, or other organization).

  3. Message authentication code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_authentication_code

    The simplest such pairwise independent hash function is defined by the random key, key = (a, b), and the MAC tag for a message m is computed as tag = (am + b) mod p, where p is prime. More generally, k -independent hashing functions provide a secure message authentication code as long as the key is used less than k times for k -ways independent ...

  4. File verification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_verification

    CRC checksums cannot be used to verify the authenticity of files, as CRC32 is not a collision resistant hash function -- even if the hash sum file is not tampered with, it is computationally trivial for an attacker to replace a file with the same CRC digest as the original file, meaning that a malicious change in the file is not detected by a ...

  5. MAC address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address

    The Individual Address Block (IAB) is an inactive registry which has been replaced by the MA-S (MAC address block, small), previously named OUI-36, and has no overlaps in addresses with the IAB [6] registry product as of January 1, 2014. The IAB uses an OUI from the MA-L (MAC address block, large) registry, previously called the OUI registry.

  6. Indicator of compromise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_of_compromise

    Typical IoCs are virus signatures and IP addresses, MD5 hashes of malware files, or URLs or domain names of botnet command and control servers. After IoCs have been identified via a process of incident response and computer forensics, they can be used for early detection of future attack attempts using intrusion detection systems and antivirus software.

  7. Predictable serial number attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictable_serial_number...

    A predictable serial number attack is a form of security exploit in which the algorithm for generating serial numbers for a particular purpose is guessed, discovered, or reverse engineered, a new serial number is predicted using the algorithm, and the newly generated serial number is then used for a fraudulent purpose, either to obtain an undeserved benefit or to deny service to the legitimate ...

  8. MAC address anonymization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_Address_Anonymization

    Instead, Ali and Dyo use the overall rate of collision in the dataset and provide that the probability of there being a collision p can be calculated by = (/) where there are m MAC Addresses and n possible hash digests. Therefore "for digests of 24 bits it is possible to store up to 168,617 MAC addresses with the rate of collisions less than 1%".

  9. Mumu (computer worm) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumu_(computer_worm)

    A range of malicious batch files; A number of "grey area" batch files, which use the utilities included in the Mumu package in a malicious way; pcGhost and/or an nVidia utility, both of which are legitimate utilities; Other various legitimate utilities; A number of text files; As previously mentioned, this varies by version.
