Attackers using fuzzing are able to leverage such weaknesses to execute arbitrary code and access sensitive information. It also causes denial of service, which is when a computer or network resource is made unavailable. Fuzzing is especially dangerous because it uncovers previously unknown vulnerabilitie...
Understanding the diverse nature of these threats—from DoS and DDoS attacks to reconnaissance exploits—is crucial for devising effective defense strategies. This article delves into the primary types of network attacks, offering insights into their mechanisms and practical approaches to protecting today'...
Network-delivered threats are typically of two basic types: Passive Network Threats: Activities such as wiretapping and idle scans that are designed to intercept traffic traveling through the network. Active Network Threats: Activities such as Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and SQL injection attacks ...
In this attack, an adversary collects information about your network. He uses this information to launch other attacks. This information includes IP address range, server location, running OS, software version, types of devices, etc. Packet capturing software,pingcommand,tracerootcommand,whoislookup ...
MANET constantly changes over time; the simple use of a static base profile may not represent the current state of the network.SoniaHarkomalpreet Kaur
(MITM) attackoccurs when cybercriminals intercept and alter network traffic flowing between IT systems. The MITM attack impersonates both senders and receivers on the network. It aims to trick both into sending unencrypted data that the attacker intercepts and can use for further attacks or ...
of attacks, the attacker directly benefits from their efforts. With DoS and DDoS network attacks, on the other hand, the objective is simply to interrupt the effectiveness of the target's service. If the attacker is hired by a business competitor, they may benefit financially from their ...

IP Spoofing plays major role among all other types of network attacks. For example, we generally click on unwanted website link & fill our personal information asked on that website which leads to be misuse of our personal information, even your IP addresses and MAC addresses of your system....
1. Malware Attacks Malicious software or firmware (malware) are unauthorized programs downloaded to a device or computer network. Most often, someone unknowingly installs malware by clicking a link or performing an action that triggers a download. There are different types of malware. A rootkit ...
