Remote exploits can be accomplished over the network and do not require physical access. Some […]
Describe privilege escalation Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Fundamentals (210-250) Privilege escalation is the manner in which an attacker gains privileges in an application that they shouldn’t have. By accomplishing this attack, an attacker gains more rights that can then allow further exploitation of the host and other network connected hosts. For example, if an attacker is […]
Describe these evasion methods Implementing Cisco Cybersecurity Operations (210-255) Encryption and Tunneling: Attackers use encryption and tunneling to obfuscate their attacks. VPN technologies like IPSec can be used to keep IPS/IDS from seeing the command and control traffic or even the attack traffic. Resource Exhaustion: A denial of service attack against security appliances like IPS […]
Describe these endpoint-based attacks Implementing Cisco Cybersecurity Operations (210-255) Buffer Overflows Buffer overflow attacks occur when an attacker sends more data that the application expects. If the input is unchecked, an attacker can force a program to execute code in memory sections it shouldn’t have access to. Command and Control (C2) Command and control traffic […]
