English: The diagram shows the four steps of exploiting an XS-Leak issue. 1. Study the target to find SD-URLs 2. Prepare an attack page 3. Get victims to visit the attack page 4. Infer the information and exploit
Damage – how bad would an attack be? Reproducibility – how easy is it to reproduce the attack? Exploitability – how much work is it to launch the attack? Affected users – how many people will be impacted? Discoverability – how easy is it to discover the threat? The DREAD name comes from the initials of the five categories listed.
STRIDE is a model for identifying computer security threats [1] developed by Praerit Garg and Loren Kohnfelder at Microsoft. [2] It provides a mnemonic for security threats in six categories. [3] The threats are: Spoofing; Tampering; Repudiation; Information disclosure (privacy breach or data leak) Denial of service; Elevation of privilege [4]
This CAPTCHA (reCAPTCHA v1) of "smwm" obscures its message from computer interpretation by twisting the letters and adding a slight background color gradient.A CAPTCHA (/ ˈ k æ p. tʃ ə / KAP-chə) is a type of challenge–response test used in computing to determine whether the user is human in order to deter bot attacks and spam.
Examples of this strategy include using anti-spam techniques, using CAPTCHA and other human presence detection techniques, and using DOS-based defense (protection from Denial-of-service attack). This is a supporting strategy for boundary protection and information system monitoring.
A brute-force attack is a cryptanalytic attack that can, in theory, be used to attempt to decrypt any encrypted data (except for data encrypted in an information-theoretically secure manner). [1] Such an attack might be used when it is not possible to take advantage of other weaknesses in an encryption system (if any exist) that would make the ...
A multi-factor authentication fatigue attack (also MFA fatigue attack or MFA bombing) is a computer security attack against multi-factor authentication that makes use of social engineering. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] When MFA applications are configured to send push notifications to end users, an attacker can send a flood of login attempts in the hope ...
In cryptanalysis and computer security, password cracking is the process of guessing passwords [1] protecting a computer system.A common approach (brute-force attack) is to repeatedly try guesses for the password and to check them against an available cryptographic hash of the password. [2]
