    Defacement is generally meant as a kind of electronic graffiti and, like other forms of vandalism, is used to spread messages by politically motivated "cyber protesters" or hacktivists. [1]

  4. Correlation attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_attack

    This means the Geffe generator is a very weak generator and should never be used to generate stream cipher keystreams. Note from the table above that agrees with the generator output 4 times out of 8—a 50% correlation. We cannot use this to brute force LFSR-1 independently of the others: the correct key will yield output that agrees with the ...

    For example, on January 7, 2014, this method would generate the domain name intgmxdeadnxuyla.com, while the following day, it would return axwscwsslmiagfah.com.This simple example was in fact used by malware like CryptoLocker, before it switched to a more sophisticated variant.

  8. Keystream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystream

    In cryptography, a keystream is a stream of random or pseudorandom characters that are combined with a plaintext message to produce an encrypted message (the ciphertext).. The "characters" in the keystream can be bits, bytes, numbers or actual characters like A-Z depending on the usage case.

  9. Brute-force attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_attack

    In cryptography, a brute-force attack consists of an attacker submitting many passwords or passphrases with the hope of eventually guessing correctly. The attacker systematically checks all possible passwords and passphrases until the correct one is found.
