Ataque Man-in-the-middle (MitM)

[bitheerani42135]

Man-in-the-middle is a type of cyber attack in which the criminal inserts himself between two users, receiving data, intercepting calls, messages and other types of information, with the aim of later impersonating one of them.

Some actions of this nature include:

IP spoofing;
Email appropriation;
Browser cookie theft;
Wi-Fi network encryption.
The most common targets of MitM attacks slovenia mobile database shopping websites, banking services , and accessing credit card data to intercept information and allow criminals to make money.



SQL Injection
SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It is a database management language widely known and standardized for its simplicity and ease of use.

SQL injection is a type of cyber attack, in which the attacker inserts malicious code into a website to control the database and access protected data on the server.

SQL injection attacks have a variety of consequences and can have devastating effects on businesses and individuals. In addition to the financial losses incurred in dealing with an attack, a company's reputation can be irreversibly damaged.



Denial of Service (DoS) Attack
A denial of service attack, or DoS (Denial Of Service), works by overloading a device.

Criminals take advantage of flaws and other vulnerabilities in devices, or generate a large volume of requests for a certain type of service, thus overloading the system and incapacitating it.

This type of attack can be carried out on computers connected by a network, also known as a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack, interrupting the operation of several devices at the same time.

To know if a computer is undergoing a DoS attack, it is possible to evaluate some indicators, such as:

Slow network performance with long loading times
Unable to load any web address
Sudden loss of connectivity on the same network


Ataque de Download Drive-by
Drive-by attacks exploit vulnerabilities in websites to plant malicious scripts in the code of their pages. The main idea behind this type of attack is to install malware on the victim's computer without them noticing.

So, when users visit a website, they have malware installed on their devices, making their devices vulnerable.

However, this type of cyber attack does not necessarily require the user to perform actions such as clicking a button. A malicious drive-by download can infect a computer without any warning or notification.



DNS Attacks
A DNS (Domain Name System) server is basically what allows you to define the name of a page on the internet by its IP address, that is, the name by which users identify the website in the browser.

DNS attacks take advantage of vulnerabilities in these servers, tricking users into believing they are accessing legitimate domains.

Among the forms of attack, the following can be highlighted:

Domain hijacking;
DNS spoofing;
DNS tunneling;
DNS flooding.


Zero Day Attack
A Zero-Day attack is so called because it basically takes advantage of a flaw that the developer is unaware of, i.e. a newly discovered software security flaw.

In a Zero-Day attack, developers have not even had a day to fix a vulnerability and criminals take advantage of this to exploit new attacks.



Ataque Cross-site scripting (XSS)
In this type of attack, criminals inject malicious code into a legitimate website.

It occurs when there is a vulnerability on a website, which allows cyber attacks.

When users access websites, they are infected and manipulated in different ways, such as the theft of cookies (files visited by customers ), which enables several other types of attacks.
