In order to mount a brute-force or dictionary based WPA password cracking attack on a Wi‑Fi user with WPA or WPA2 enabled, a hacker must first sniff the WPA 4-way handshake.
Cain and Abel (often abbreviated to Cain) was a password recovery tool for Microsoft Windows.It could recover many kinds of passwords using methods such as network packet sniffing, cracking various password hashes by using methods such as dictionary attacks, brute force and cryptanalysis attacks.

Code injection is a computer security exploit where a program fails to correctly process external data, such as user input, causing it to interpret the data as executable commands.
The hack utilises a ChatGPT trick known as the ‘grandma exploit’, which bypasses the AI chatbot’s rules by asking it to pretend to be a dead grandmother. “ChatGPT gives you free Windows 10 ...
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 or overloading services of a host connected to a network.
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]
The Pentagon spent nearly 14 months cleaning the worm, named agent.btz, from military networks.Agent.btz, a variant of the SillyFDC worm, [4] has the ability "to scan computers for data, open backdoors, and send through those backdoors to a remote command and control server."
Sniffing attack in context of network security, corresponds to theft or interception of data by capturing the network traffic using a packet sniffer (an application aimed at capturing network packets).
