While TCP is robust and reliable, it is not inherently secure. Various types of attacks target the TCP layer, and certain vulnerabilities need to be managed. SYN Flood Attacks An attacker can exploit the TCP handshake process to initiate a SYN Flood. In this attack, the attacker sends numerou...
TCP/IP stack improperly handles ICMPv6 Router Advertisement packets. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to gain the ability to execute code on target servers or clients. Microsoft has rated the CVE-2020-16898 vulnerability as critical and provided monthly security patches ...
“Exploiting these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to take control of a device, thus using it as an entry point on a network (for internet-connected devices), as a pivot point for lateral movement, as a persistence point on the target network or as the final target of an attack,”...
Historically, kernel privilege escalation vulnerabilities in ESXi have not been frequently seen. ESXi has no login shell for low-privileged users, so that entry point is eliminated. On the other hand, user-mode daemons such as SLPD run with the highest privileges (i.e., supe...

In certain situations, users with malicious intent may find exploitable network vulnerabilities. In most normal cases, however, the influence from the users upon the network will be through their interactions with the servers. Each type of influence may also be considered to have a different weight...
There are statistically more untapped targets for your opponent to exploit. In determining the number of vulnerabilities, a conservative approach is to assume an average of 10 vulnerabilities per connected host. There are a number of questions to be considered in estimating such numbers. Is the ...
