Study Notes
Types of Attacks
- A buffer overflow attack occurs when an application receives more data than it is expecting from a specific input.
Firewall Security
- Properly configured software firewalls can provide an additional layer of security by filtering traffic and blocking malicious incoming and outgoing traffic.
Intrusion Detection Systems
- The main advantage of host intrusion detection systems (HIDS) compared to network-based intrusion detection systems (NIDS) is that HIDS monitor a single host's system and network traffic, providing more detailed and specific information about the host's security.
