In computer science, session hijacking, sometimes also known as cookie hijacking, is the exploitation of a valid computer session —sometimes also called a session key —to gain unauthorized access to information or services in a computer system. In particular, it is used to refer to the theft of a magic cookie used to authenticate a user to ...
Cross-site request forgery, also known as one-click attack or session riding and abbreviated as CSRF (sometimes pronounced sea-surf[1]) or XSRF, is a type of malicious exploit of a website or web application where unauthorized commands are submitted from a user that the web application trusts. [2] There are many ways in which a malicious ...
Session fixation. In computer network security, session fixation attacks attempt to exploit the vulnerability of a system that allows one person to fixate (find or set) another person's session identifier. Most session fixation attacks are web based, and most rely on session identifiers being accepted from URLs (query string) or POST data.
Man-in-the-middle attack. In cryptography and computer security, a man-in-the-middle[a] (MITM) attack, or on-path attack, is a cyberattack where the attacker secretly relays and possibly alters the communications between two parties who believe that they are directly communicating with each other, as the attacker has inserted themselves between ...
Replay attack. A replay attack (also known as a repeat attack or playback attack) is a form of network [1] attack in which valid data transmission is maliciously or fraudulently repeated or delayed. [1] This is carried out either by the originator or by an adversary who intercepts the data and re-transmits it, possibly as part of a spoofing ...
Cross-site scripting. Cross-site scripting (XSS) [a] is a type of security vulnerability that can be found in some web applications. XSS attacks enable attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users. A cross-site scripting vulnerability may be used by attackers to bypass access controls such as the same-origin policy.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday he had agreed with South Korea's president to step up contacts between their nations at all levels to develop countermeasures and a strategy to ...
Countermeasure (computer) In computer security a countermeasure is an action, device, procedure, or technique that reduces a threat, vulnerability, or attack, eliminating or preventing it by minimizing the harm it can cause. It can also include discovering and reporting vunerabilities so that corrective action can be taken.
