Study Notes
Hacking Tactics Overview
- The primary goal of hacking tactics is often to gain unauthorized access to systems or data, exploiting vulnerabilities for various purposes, such as theft, espionage, or disruption.
Social Engineering
- Phishing is the tactic most commonly associated with social engineering, which involves tricking individuals into revealing sensitive information by masquerading as a trustworthy entity.
Denial of Service Attacks
- A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack overwhelms a system with excessive traffic, rendering it unavailable to legitimate users, causing disruptions to services and operations.
Common Hacking Methods
- Common methods for executing hacking tactics include malware deployment, phishing, brute force attacks, and exploiting software vulnerabilities. However, methods not associated with hacking may include legitimate IT practices or unauthorized security measures.
Interception of Communications
- Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks are used to intercept communications between two parties without their knowledge, allowing hackers to eavesdrop or manipulate the information exchanged.
