Huawei Security Products Help You Defend Against XSS Attacks How Do XSS Attacks Work? XSS attacks work by manipulating vulnerable websites so that they return malicious scripts to users. The main process is as follows: Attackers discover vulnerable websites, and exploit vulnerabilities to inject mali...
a computer uses a key to turn the data into unintelligible gibberish. Only a recipient with the correct key is able to decrypt the data. If an attacker gets access to strongly encrypted data but doesn’t have the key, they aren’t able to see the unencrypted version. ...
Through a drive-by download, an attacker embedsmalwareinto the interface of a legitimate website to trick the victim into downloading the malware to their computer without any knowledge or consent. The attacker can then use the malware to further infect other computers in the user's organization...
Stack-based.Your attacker sends data to a program, and that transmission is stored in a too-small stack buffer. Your hacker could choose a "push" function and store new items on the top of the stack. Or the hacker could choose a "pop" function and remove the top item and replace it....

Cup your hands as if you were trying to create little hooks. Bring your arms down explosively to rip the attacker’s hands off your throat. Strike the attacker’s groin with your nearest hand, and then use the elbow of the same arm to thrust upward toward the attacker’s chin and nose...
DDoS attacks work by directing malicious traffic to a target via multiple computers or machines. Often, these machines form a botnet: a group of devices that have been compromised by malware and can be controlled by a single attacker. Other DDoS attacks may involve multiple attackers or DDoS at...

is a strong defense against brute force attacks because, besides guessing a user's credentials, an attacker would need access to a second factor, such as a smartphone or email, to gain access. Persistent attackers might try to overcome that obstacle, but most will look for an easier target....
