This document defines attacks and types of attacks on information security assets. It discusses passive attacks that obtain information without affecting systems, active attacks that change systems, and insider attacks from within an organization. Specific attack types described include phishing, hijacking, spoofing, buffer overflows, exploits, and password attacks using dictionaries, brute force, or hybrid methods.
What are cyber attacks?
In simple terms, cyber attacks are attempts of disabling or stealing information from other computers, by gaining access to admin privileges to them.
Why should businesses be worried?
An average ransomware attack costs a company $5 million. Attackers target all types of businesses, small and large, healthcare, banking & finance, manufacturing, education, even government. The internet has made life a lot easier for business owners, at the same time it has made them easier to get hacked.
This document discusses types of malicious software and network attacks. It describes viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and their goals of destroying, corrupting or shutting down data and systems. It also covers spyware, adware, denial of service attacks, and physical security vulnerabilities. The document emphasizes educating users to help protect against malware through training, antivirus software, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems.
The document defines security attacks and threats. It describes different types of attacks like passive attacks, active attacks, insider attacks, phishing attacks, spoofing attacks, hijack attacks, exploit attacks and password attacks. It also discusses two common threats - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and SQL injection. XSS involves injecting malicious code snippets while SQL injection embeds malicious code in a poorly-designed app passed to the backend database.
This document discusses software security testing. It outlines various aspects of secure software like confidentiality, integrity, data security, authentication, and availability. It then describes different types of software that require security testing like operating systems, applications, databases, and network software. Various techniques for security testing are explained in detail, such as vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, firewall rule testing, SQL injection testing, and ethical hacking. The document emphasizes the importance of early security testing and providing recommendations to overcome weaknesses found.
The document lists 10 common web server security flaws: SQL injection, XSS attacks, broken authentication and session management, insecure direct object references, CSRF attacks, security misconfiguration, insecure cryptographic storage, failure to restrict URL access, insufficient transport layer protection, and improper use of redirects and forwards. Each flaw is briefly described and questions are posed about threats, vulnerabilities, and countermeasures that are not answered.
This document discusses various topics related to web server and website security including demilitarized zones (DMZs), firewalls, intrusion detection systems, secure web protocols like SSL and HTTPS, common gateway interfaces (CGIs), web form validation, SQL injection, and cross-site scripting (XSS) prevention. It explains that a DMZ is a network area between an internal and external network that allows limited connections, firewalls filter incoming network traffic using methods like packet filtering and stateful inspection, and an IDS monitors network traffic for malicious activity. It also describes secure web protocols that encrypt data transmission and how to properly validate web forms and user input to prevent vulnerabilities like SQL injection and XSS attacks.
This document discusses authentication methods for secure internet banking. It presents two solutions: 1) a short-time password solution that uses symmetric cryptography and a hardware security module, and 2) a certificate-based solution that establishes an SSL/TLS channel without client authentication and uses the client's certificates. Both solutions offer high security against common offline credential stealing and online channel breaking attacks. The certificate solution is attractive for the future due to changing legislation and the spread of electronic IDs.
Basic Network Attacks
The active and passive attacks can be differentiated on the basis of what are they, how they are performed and how much extent of damage they cause to the system resources. But, majorly the active attack modifies the information and causes a lot of damage to the system resources and can affect its operation. Conversely, the passive attack does not make any changes to the system resources and therefore doesn’t causes any damage.
The document provides guidelines for securing web servers. It recommends implementing defense in depth across network, host, and application layers. This includes designing screened subnets; controlling access with routers and firewalls; using intrusion detection and antivirus systems; and hardening hosts, web servers, and applications. The document also discusses topics like content management, logging, backups, physical security, auditing, security policies, and incident response. Adherence to the guidelines helps protect against common attacks on web servers.
This document discusses several types of malicious software:
1. Viruses replicate themselves and spread from computer to computer like a biological virus. Trojan horses disguise themselves as legitimate programs but install malware and sometimes wipe hard drives.
2. Spyware steals user information like email addresses and credit card numbers covertly without the user's knowledge by eating up computer resources.
3. Adware displays excessive pop-up ads that hinder performance similar to spyware but notify the user. They can potentially install more malware by tricking users to click ads.
4. Bots are automated processes that interact with networks in a botnet to infect other devices like zombies and spread the infection. Phishing involves posing as a legitimate
Author: Dr Sandeep Sood
Password-based authentication is used in online web applications due to its simplicity and convenience. Efficient password-based authentication schemes are required to authenticate the legitimacy of remote users, or data origin over an insecure communication channel. Password-based authentication schemes are highly susceptible to phishing attacks.
Access control attacks by Yaakub bin IdrisHafiza Abas
A logic bomb is a piece of code that executes when predefined conditions are met, such as on a specific date or time. It is typically installed by privileged users who know how to circumvent security controls. When the conditions are met, the logic bomb performs an unexpected "payload". System scanning collects information about devices and networks, such as open ports and running services, to facilitate attacks. Ethical hacking describes security testing performed with an organization's permission to identify potential threats and weaknesses.
Internet technology and software are inherently vulnerable due to flaws, weaknesses, and gaps in their design, implementation, and security protocols. Thousands of vulnerabilities exist in both software and hardware that can be exploited by hackers if not properly addressed. Common sources of vulnerabilities include design flaws, poor security management, incorrect implementation, vulnerabilities in operating systems, applications, protocols, and ports. Ensuring systems are properly configured, passwords are strong, and users are educated can help reduce vulnerabilities, but due to the complexity of software it is impossible to have fully secure systems.
Ethical hacking provides security benefits to banks and financial institutions by preventing website defacement through evolving techniques that think like criminals. However, it depends on trustworthy ethical hackers who can be expensive to hire professionally.

External Attacks Against Pivileged AccountsLindsay Marsh
This document discusses how external attackers target privileged accounts to gain access to federal agency systems. It explains that attackers follow a predictable pattern: they try to access privileged accounts to move laterally across the network and access desired systems or data. The document recommends a layered defense approach to address each stage of an attack. It suggests securing privileged accounts, implementing least privilege, behavior analytics to detect anomalies, and session recording to investigate incidents. The document advises agencies to assess their ability to prevent entry, access, and malicious actions and close any gaps.

The document aims to help users understand web application security risks and how to prevent cyberattacks.
Study of Web Application Attacks & Their Countermeasuresidescitation
Web application security is among the hottest issue
in present web scenario due to increasing use of web
applications for e-business environment. Web application has
become the easiest way to provide wide range of services to
users. Due to transfer of confidential data during these services
web application are more vulnerable to attacks. Web
application attack occurs because of lack of security awareness
and poor programming skills. According to Imperva web
application attack report [1] websites are probe once every
two minutes and this has been increased to ten attacks per
second in year 2012. In this paper we have presented most
common and dangerous web application attacks and their
countermeasures.
Cyber security is important to protect networks, devices, systems and applications from digital attacks aimed at accessing, destroying or altering sensitive data. There are three pillars of security: confidentiality, integrity and availability. Fifteen common types of cyber attacks are described, including malware, phishing, man-in-the-middle attacks, and distributed denial-of-service attacks. Cyber security is increasingly important due to the growing sophistication of attacks, widespread availability of hacking tools, data compliance regulations, rising costs of data breaches, cyber security being a strategic concern for boards and management, and cyber crime being a large industry.
Common acronyms in IT Security industry explained. Terms like OWASP, XSS, SQLI vulnerability, RCE and CSRF and more. These are keywords in network security that are mostly used.
The most Common Website Security ThreatsHTS Hosting
The document discusses the most common security threats faced by websites, including SQL injection, credential brute force attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS), and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. It explains that websites store data on web servers accessed through the internet, making them vulnerable targets. The threats aim to steal information, abuse server resources, trick bots/crawlers, or exploit visitors. Proper web security is needed to prevent attacks and protect websites and their users.
Web security deals with protecting data transferred over the internet and networks from security threats and risks. Common web security threats include cross-site scripting, SQL injection, phishing, ransomware, and viruses. To help prevent these threats, it is important to keep software updated, beware of SQL injection attacks, validate all user input, use strong passwords, and limit information in error messages. Proper web security helps protect websites, networks, and data from damage or theft.
Preventing Web-Proxy Based DDoS using Request Sequence Frequency IOSR Journals
This document discusses preventing distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks that use web proxies. It proposes detecting abnormal request sequences from web proxies by analyzing the frequency of request sequences and comparing it to a web proxy's historical behavioral profile. When abnormal sequences are detected, a "soft-control" approach is used to reshape suspicious sequences rather than rejecting the entire sequence, to avoid impacting legitimate users. A hidden semi-Markov model is used to model the temporal and spatial behavior of web proxy traffic over time. This allows both fine-grained and coarse-grained detection of attacks at the server level, independently of traffic intensity or changing web content.
This document discusses preventing distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks that use web proxies. It begins by explaining how web proxies can be abused by attackers to launch DDoS attacks in a flexible and difficult to detect manner. It then proposes a novel scheme to detect and mitigate these proxy-based DDoS attacks by analyzing the frequency of request sequences from each proxy to identify abnormal behavior patterns that indicate an attack is occurring. The scheme aims to discard likely malicious requests while still allowing authorized user requests, avoiding a complete denial of service.
Recent hacks of major international and regional banks have occurred due to exploits from the following vulnerabilities:
1. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability using redirects
2. Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability
3. Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability
A denial-of-service (DoS) attack aims to disrupt services by overwhelming a machine or network with requests. A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack uses multiple infected machines to flood the bandwidth or resources of a target server. Application layer DoS attacks target specific functions to disrupt services like website searches. Some vendors provide booter services that allow technically unsophisticated attackers to launch powerful DoS attacks through simple web interfaces.
The document discusses various topics related to web security including threat modeling, browser isolation, cross-site scripting attacks, and secure development practices. It provides definitions and explanations of these topics across multiple sections and pages written by Surbhi Saroha.
Description: This presentation offers a deep dive into SQL Injection (SQLi) and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities, demonstrating their impact through real-world examples. Join us to learn how to prevent and mitigate these threats, and take the first step towards a career in cybersecurity with our specialized courses at Boston Institute of Analytics. https://bostoninstituteofanalytics.org/cyber-security-and-ethical-hacking/
Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks occur when malicious scripts are injected into otherwise benign websites. There are three main types of XSS attacks: reflected XSS, stored XSS, and DOM-based XSS. XSS attacks are dangerous because they can access cookies and session tokens, potentially exposing sensitive user information. To prevent XSS, user input should be escaped, validated against a whitelist of allowed characters, and sanitized to remove potentially harmful HTML markup.

What makes blockchain secure: Key Characteristics & Security ArchitectureEC-Council
"Hacking" a blockchain is almost impossible — but what makes these decentralized ledgers so inherently "unhackable"?
A blockchain’s decentralized nature means that its network is distributed across multiple computers known as nodes. This eliminates a single point of failure. In other words, there is no way to “cut the head off the snake” — because there isn’t any head.
This content piece will help you understand on what makes blockchain so secure and in turn revolutionizing!

HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT SECURITY INCIDENTS IN A CLOUD ENVIRONMENT?EC-Council
Though cloud technology allows for quicker access to virtual systems and reduced costs, switching to the cloud presents issues that must be addressed, such as misconfiguring infrastructure that can affect the whole system, sensitivity to minor configuration changes in platform services, transparency increasing difficulties in software service customizations, and increased risk from complications in microservices architectures. These issues can be overcome by learning the stages of incident management including planning, triage, containment, evidence gathering, and recovery.
EC-Council, a globally recognized cybersecurity credentialing body, offers the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT) certifications to help you acquire the skills you need to be a part of Red and Blue Teams. CEH is the most desired cybersecurity training program, upping your ethical hacking skills to the next level. CPENT takes off from where CEH leaves off, giving you a real-world, hands-on penetration testing experience.
Why Threat Intelligence Is a Must for Every Organization?EC-Council
Hackers attack organizations almost every 40 seconds, exposing over 5 billion records in the first half of 2020. The document argues that threat intelligence is crucial for organizations as malicious emails often use common file types like Office documents to spread malware and spear phishing targets internal employees. It notes that most companies do not properly protect sensitive files and accounts, with most employees having access to millions of non-password protected files and many accounts using non-expiring passwords. Therefore, threat intelligence is necessary to help organizations identify vulnerabilities and strengthen their cybersecurity.
We are living in a digital world rife with risks. This has led to a rise in digital crimes, increasing the need for digital forensics in turn.

These briefs compile diverse information sources – including status reports, maps, news articles, and web content– into a single, easily digestible document that can be widely shared and used interactively. Key features of this report include:
- Comprehensive Overview: Provides situation updates, maps, relevant news, and web resources.
- Accessibility: Designed for easy reading, wide distribution, and interactive use.
- Collaboration: The “unlocked" format enables other responders to share, copy, and adapt seamlessly. The students learn by doing, quickly discovering how and where to find critical information and presenting it in an easily understood manner.

CBSE - Grade 8 - Science - Chemistry - Metals and Non Metals - WorksheetSritoma Majumder
Introduction
All the materials around us are made up of elements. These elements can be broadly divided into two major groups:
Metals
Non-Metals
Each group has its own unique physical and chemical properties. Let's understand them one by one.
Physical Properties
1. Appearance
Metals: Shiny (lustrous). Example: gold, silver, copper.
Non-metals: Dull appearance (except iodine, which is shiny).
2. Hardness
Metals: Generally hard. Example: iron.
Non-metals: Usually soft (except diamond, a form of carbon, which is very hard).
3. State
Metals: Mostly solids at room temperature (except mercury, which is a liquid).
Non-metals: Can be solids, liquids, or gases. Example: oxygen (gas), bromine (liquid), sulphur (solid).
4. Malleability
Metals: Can be hammered into thin sheets (malleable).
Non-metals: Not malleable. They break when hammered (brittle).
5. Ductility
Metals: Can be drawn into wires (ductile).
Non-metals: Not ductile.
6. Conductivity
Metals: Good conductors of heat and electricity.
Non-metals: Poor conductors (except graphite, which is a good conductor).
7. Sonorous Nature
Metals: Produce a ringing sound when struck.
Non-metals: Do not produce sound.
Chemical Properties
1. Reaction with Oxygen
Metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides.
These metal oxides are usually basic.
Non-metals react with oxygen to form non-metallic oxides.
These oxides are usually acidic.
2. Reaction with Water
Metals:
Some react vigorously (e.g., sodium).
Some react slowly (e.g., iron).
Some do not react at all (e.g., gold, silver).
Non-metals: Generally do not react with water.
3. Reaction with Acids
Metals react with acids to produce salt and hydrogen gas.
Non-metals: Do not react with acids.
4. Reaction with Bases
Some non-metals react with bases to form salts, but this is rare.
Metals generally do not react with bases directly (except amphoteric metals like aluminum and zinc).
Displacement Reaction
More reactive metals can displace less reactive metals from their salt solutions.
Uses of Metals
Iron: Making machines, tools, and buildings.
Aluminum: Used in aircraft, utensils.
Copper: Electrical wires.
Gold and Silver: Jewelry.
Zinc: Coating iron to prevent rusting (galvanization).
Uses of Non-Metals
Oxygen: Breathing.
Nitrogen: Fertilizers.
Chlorine: Water purification.
Carbon: Fuel (coal), steel-making (coke).
Iodine: Medicines.
Alloys
An alloy is a mixture of metals or a metal with a non-metal.
Alloys have improved properties like strength, resistance to rusting.

The Pala kings were people-protectors. In fact, Gopal was elected to the throne only to end Matsya Nyaya. Bhagalpur Abhiledh states that Dharmapala imposed only fair taxes on the people. Rampala abolished the unjust taxes imposed by Bhima. The Pala rulers were lovers of learning. Vikramshila University was established by Dharmapala. He opened 50 other learning centers. A famous Buddhist scholar named Haribhadra was to be present in his court. Devpala appointed another Buddhist scholar named Veerdeva as the vice president of Nalanda Vihar. Among other scholars of this period, Sandhyakar Nandi, Chakrapani Dutta and Vajradatta are especially famous. Sandhyakar Nandi wrote the famous poem of this period 'Ramcharit'.
*Metamorphosis* is a biological process where an animal undergoes a dramatic transformation from a juvenile or larval stage to a adult stage, often involving significant changes in form and structure. This process is commonly seen in insects, amphibians, and some other animals.
3. SQL Injection Attack:
Most of the prominent data breaches that occur
today have been the outcomes of an SQL
Injection attack, which has led to regulatory penalties
and reputational damages. An effective SQL
Injection attack can lead to unapproved access to
delicate data, including credit card information, PINs,
or other private information regarding a customer.
4. Cross-Site Scripting
(XSS) Attack:
This attack disrupts the interaction between users and
vulnerable applications. It is based on client-side code
injection. The attacker inserts malicious scripts into a
legit application to alter its original intention.
5. Web parameter tampering attack is based on the
manipulation of parameters exchanged between
client and server in order to modify application data,
such as user credentials and permissions, price and
quantity of products, etc.
Parameter Tampering
6. File path traversal is also known as directory traversal or
backtracking. The primary objective of this web application
attack is to access files and directories which are not placed
under the ‘root directory’.
Directory Traversal
7. It is a type of cyberattack that occurs when an attacker
seeks to render a computer or other networks inaccessible
to its authorized users by momentarily or permanently
interrupting the normal operations of a host linked to the
Internet.
Denial-of-Service (DoS) Attack
DoS
8. Session hijacking is an attack over user
sessions by masquerading as an authorized
user. It is generally applicable to browser
sessions and web applications hacking. You can
understand session hijacking as a form of Man-
in-the-Middle (MITM) attack.
Session Attack:
9. Cross site request forgery — also known as CSRF or
XSRF — is one of the web-related security threats on
the OWASP top-ten list. The main principle behind a
CSRF attack is exploitation of a site’s trust for a
particular user, clandestinely utilizing the user’s
authentication data.
