HTTP request smuggling (HRS) is a security exploit on the HTTP protocol that takes advantage of an inconsistency between the interpretation of Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding headers between HTTP server implementations in an HTTP proxy server chain. [1] [2] It was first documented in 2005 by Linhart et al. [3]
Cryptographic attacks that subvert or exploit weaknesses in this process are known as random number generator attacks. A high quality random number generation (RNG) process is almost always required for security, and lack of quality generally provides attack vulnerabilities and so leads to lack of security, even to complete compromise, in ...
On 20 January 2014, the official MEGAsync application was released for Windows [24] and on 6 September 2014, the official MEGAsync application was released for Linux. [ 25 ] In January 2016, MEGA announced that the service has 35 million registered users that have uploaded 12 billion files. [ 26 ]
Located at bitcoin-generator-2018.bid, the way the scam works is simple enough: it ... A website claiming to be taking advantage of an unexplained “exploit” in Bitcoin to “generate” coins ...
The malicious code is known to be in 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 releases of the XZ Utils software package. The exploit remains dormant unless a specific third-party patch of the SSH server is used. Under the right circumstances this interference could potentially enable a malicious actor to break sshd authentication and gain unauthorized access to the ...
Diagram of a DDoS attack. Note how multiple computers are attacking a single computer. In computing, a denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is a cyberattack in which the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a host connected to a network.
Particularly in the case of social networking sites, the code would be further designed to self-propagate across accounts, creating a type of client-side worm. [14] The methods of injection can vary a great deal; in some cases, the attacker may not even need to directly interact with the web functionality itself to exploit such a hole.
Rowhammer (also written as row hammer or RowHammer) is a computer security exploit that takes advantage of an unintended and undesirable side effect in dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) in which memory cells interact electrically between themselves by leaking their charges, possibly changing the contents of nearby memory rows that were not addressed in the original memory access.
