Study Notes
Blended Attack
- A blended attack is a type of attack that utilizes multiple techniques to compromise a target system or resource.
- The goal of a blended attack is to gain access to a system, the data it hosts, or a specific resource.
- An example of the complexity of a blended attack is a 4-digit password, where an attacker would need to try every one of the 10,000 possible combinations to gain access.
