The threat model for a DOM clobbering attack is similar to that of the web attacker model proposed by Akhawe et al. in 2010. This model assumes that the attacker can send emails or, by some other method, phish the victim to specific pages under their control. The model also assumes that the attacker can inject a limited set of markup into ...
An advanced persistent threat (APT) is a stealthy threat actor, typically a state or state-sponsored group, which gains unauthorized access to a computer network and remains undetected for an extended period. [1] [2] In recent times, the term may also refer to non-state-sponsored groups conducting large-scale targeted intrusions for specific ...
APT40, also known as BRONZE MOHAWK (by Secureworks), [1] FEVERDREAM, G0065, GADOLINIUM (formerly by Microsoft), [2] Gingham Typhoon [3] (by Microsoft), GreenCrash, Hellsing (by Kaspersky), [4] Kryptonite Panda (by Crowdstrike), Leviathan (by Proofpoint), [5] MUDCARP, Periscope, Temp.Periscope, and Temp.Jumper, is an advanced persistent threat operated by the Hainan State Security Department, a ...
In 2015 Kaspersky's research findings on the Equation Group noted that its loader, "GrayFish", had similarities to a previously discovered loader, "Gauss", from another attack series, and separately noted that the Equation Group used two zero-day attacks later used in Stuxnet; the researchers concluded that "the similar type of usage of both exploits together in different computer worms, at ...
In hacking, a shellcode is a small piece of code used as the payload in the exploitation of a software vulnerability.It is called "shellcode" because it typically starts a command shell from which the attacker can control the compromised machine, but any piece of code that performs a similar task can be called shellcode.
The persistent (or stored) XSS vulnerability is a more devastating variant of a cross-site scripting flaw: it occurs when the data provided by the attacker is saved by the server, and then permanently displayed on "normal" pages returned to other users in the course of regular browsing, without proper HTML escaping. A classic example of this is ...
A host-based IDS is capable of monitoring all or parts of the dynamic behavior and the state of a computer system, based on how it is configured.Besides such activities as dynamically inspecting network packets targeted at this specific host (optional component with most software solutions commercially available), a HIDS might detect which program accesses what resources and discover that, for ...
