  4. Random number generator attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generator_attack

    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 ...

  5. Drive-by download - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive-by_download

    When the content is loaded by the client, the attacker will analyze the fingerprint of the client in order to tailor the code to exploit vulnerabilities specific to that client. [4] Finally, the attacker exploits the necessary vulnerabilities to launch the drive-by download attack. Drive-by downloads usually use one of two strategies.

  6. Exploit (computer security) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploit_(computer_security)

    A remote exploit works over a network and exploits the security vulnerability without any prior access to the vulnerable system. A local exploit requires prior access or physical access to the vulnerable system, and usually increases the privileges of the person running the exploit past those granted by the system administrator. Exploits ...

  7. Video game exploit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_exploit

    In video games, an exploit is the use of a bug or glitch, in a way that gives a substantial unfair advantage to players using it. [1] However, whether particular acts constitute an exploit can be controversial, typically involving the argument that the issues are part of the game, and no changes or external programs are needed to take advantage ...

  8. Windows Metafile vulnerability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Metafile_vulnerability

    It is worth noting that 16 bit Windows (except the rarely used Real mode of Windows 3.0) was immune to the vulnerability because the pointer specified in the metafile can only point to data within the metafile, and 16 bit Windows always had a full no-execute-data enforcement mandated by the segmented architecture of 16 bit protected mode.

  9. Arbitrary code execution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary_code_execution

    On its own, an arbitrary code execution exploit will give the attacker the same privileges as the target process that is vulnerable. [11] For example, if exploiting a flaw in a web browser, an attacker could act as the user, performing actions such as modifying personal computer files or accessing banking information, but would not be able to perform system-level actions (unless the user in ...
