A backdoor is a typically covert method of bypassing normal authentication or encryption in a computer, product, embedded device (e.g. a home router), or its embodiment (e.g. part of a cryptosystem, algorithm, chipset, or even a "homunculus computer"—a tiny computer-within-a-computer such as that found in Intel's AMT technology).
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]
Exploits are designed to identify flaws, bypass security measures, gain unauthorized access to systems, take control of systems, install malware, or steal sensitive data. While an exploit by itself may not be a malware, it serves as a vehicle for delivering malicious software by breaching security controls. [1] [2] [3] [4]
For example, in computer programming workarounds are often used to address a problem or anti-pattern in a library, such as an incorrect return value. When the library is changed, the workaround may break the overall program functionality, effectively becoming an anti-pattern , since it may expect the older, wrong behaviour from the library.
"I received a pop-up that froze my computer and read, ‘Access to this system is blocked for security reasons’ from Windows Defender Security Center. It came with an audio message and siren ...
The security systems are rendered ineffective against well-designed evasion techniques, in the same way a stealth fighter can attack without detection by radar and other defensive systems. A good analogy to evasions is a system designed to recognize keywords in speech patterns on a phone system, such as “break into system X”.
An example of a physical security measure: a metal lock on the back of a personal computer to prevent hardware tampering. Computer security (also cybersecurity, digital security, or information technology (IT) security) is the protection of computer software, systems and networks from threats that can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, theft or damage to hardware, software, or data ...
It is also the first reported tool capable of bypassing Windows 10 online (live) passwords and supporting both Windows and macOS systems. [1] It is also a widely used tool in computer security, especially in penetration testing. [2] [3] [4] Since version 3.5 Kon-Boot is also able to bypass SecureBoot feature.
