HTTP Public Key Pinning (HPKP) is an obsolete Internet security mechanism delivered via an HTTP header which allows HTTPS websites to resist impersonation by attackers using misissued or otherwise fraudulent digital certificates. [1]
Address space layout randomization (ASLR) is a computer security technique involved in preventing exploitation of memory corruption vulnerabilities. [1] In order to prevent an attacker from reliably redirecting code execution to, for example, a particular exploited function in memory, ASLR randomly arranges the address space positions of key data areas of a process, including the base of the ...
Network eavesdropping, also known as eavesdropping attack, sniffing attack, or snooping attack, is a method that retrieves user information through the internet.This attack happens on electronic devices like computers and smartphones.
Like the TCP reset attack, session hijacking involves intrusion into an ongoing BGP session, i.e., the attacker successfully masquerades as one of the peers in a BGP session, and requires the same information needed to accomplish the reset attack. The difference is that a session hijacking attack may be designed to achieve more than simply ...
Cross Zone Scripting is a type of privilege escalation attack in which a website subverts the security model of web browsers, thus allowing it to run malicious code on client computers. There are also situations where an application can use other high privilege services and has incorrect assumptions about how a client could manipulate its use ...
If the IDS doesn't reassemble the TCP in the same way as the target, it can be manipulated into either missing a portion of the attack payload or seeing benign data inserted into the malicious payload, breaking the attack signature. [1] [3] This technique can also be used with IP fragmentation in a similar manner.
[1] The bot framework includes a builder that allows the attacker to configure how the infostealer will behave on a user's computer and what kind of information it will steal. The management interface, usually written in traditional web development languages like PHP , HTML , and JavaScript , [ 2 ] is typically hosted on the commercial cloud ...
A downgrade attack, also called a bidding-down attack, [1] or version rollback attack, is a form of cryptographic attack on a computer system or communications protocol that makes it abandon a high-quality mode of operation (e.g. an encrypted connection) in favor of an older, lower-quality mode of operation (e.g. cleartext) that is typically provided for backward compatibility with older ...
