Attack | Description |
|---|---|
Brute Force attack | Brute Force is an exhaustive attack in which the hacker tries all the possible combinations to break into a system |
Denial of Service (DoS) | DoS is one of the most common attacks in the cyber world. It is a cyber-attack in which the perpetrator launches an attack to make the victim machine or a resource unavailable to the users by flooding the target with massive traffic |
Distributed Denial of Service ( DDoS) | DDoS is similar to DoS, and it disrupts the service of the victim machine by sending massive fake traffic to multiple devices on the network |
Infiltration Attacks | In this attack, the attacker successfully compromises the victim's machine by exploiting the existing system's vulnerabilities |
SQL Injection Attacks | The attacker uses SQL Injection attacks to retrieve unauthorized access to sensitive data by using SQL queries |
