Summary of What are the different types of Cyber Security Attacks?

Key Types of Cyber Security Attacks:

• Network Security Attacks:
  • Denial of Service (DoS) Attack: Overwhelms system resources, making them unavailable (e.g., Amazon Web Services).
  • Buffer Overflow: Occurs when data exceeds the storage capacity of a memory buffer.
  • Client-Side Attack: Involves downloading malicious content from a compromised source.
  • Spoofing Attack: A malicious party impersonates another device or user to steal data or spread malware.
• Wireless Security Attacks:
  • Data Emanation: Compromises data by intercepting analog outputs (e.g., sound or light).
  • Bluetooth Vulnerability: Hackers can access devices or eavesdrop on communications.
  • WPA/WPS Attacks: Involves cracking Wi-Fi encryption keys through brute force methods.
• Malware/Ransomware Attacks:
  • Ransomware: Blocks access to data and demands payment for its release (e.g., Baltimore City incident).
  • Viruses: Malicious code designed to alter computer operations and spread to other systems.
  • Worms: Self-replicating programs that spread through networks, often via email attachments.
  • Trojan Horses: Malicious programs disguised as legitimate software, often creating backdoors for attackers.
• Social Engineering Attacks:
  • Phishing: Deceptive emails that lead users to malicious sites.
  • Vishing: Voice Phishing that manipulates emotions to extract sensitive information over the phone.
  • Smishing: SMS-based Phishing that misleads victims into providing sensitive information.
  • Pre-texting: Attackers impersonate legitimate service providers to gain access to sensitive information.
