No single defence mechanism can protect you from the bad world out there. Contrasting the Past and the Modern Takes on …
Attack Vectors An attack vector is a tool, technique, or method used to attack a computer system or network. If we map the attack vectors to the physical world, attack vectors would be the weapons an adversary uses, like, swords, arrows, hammers, etc. A non-exhaustive list of examples of attack vectors in cybersecurity includes the …
The Internet of Things (IoT) defines a categorization of just that, “things”. Devices are interconnected and rely heavily on communication to achieve a device’s objectives. Examples of IoT include thermostats, web cameras, and smart fridges, to name only a few. While the formal definition of IoT may change depending on who is setting it, the term can …
What is Firmware Reverse Engineering Every embedded device, including cameras, routers, smart watches, and other devices, comes with pre-installed firmware, which has its own set of instructions executing on the hardware’s processor. It makes it possible for the device’s hardware and other software to communicate. The designer or developer can make changes at the root …
Hardware hacking is frequently viewed as a highly sophisticated subject that is cloaked in mystery. Even though there are many intricate and difficult hardware hacking components, getting started is actually quite easy. Modern computers are quite strong. This enables them to incorporate more functions and security safeguards into their communication protocols to guarantee messages are …
Threat Detection Cyber threats and criminals utilize cutting-edge strategies to steal information and wreak havoc. There are numerous ways to accomplish this, as you have already seen throughout the previous days. Security teams can prepare their defenses and recognize these threats in a number of ways.

Input Validation Foundations Generally, an effective way to validate input is first to know how a specific piece of data is going to be processed by the rest of your application. Data then goes through syntax and semantic validation checks to ensure that the user-provided values are both proper in their syntax (the answer follows …
The standard language for querying databases is called Structured Query Language (SQL). Any application you construct that uses a database must be able to instantly generate SQL statements and send them to the database engine in order to retrieve the data it needs to function. Fortunately for you, SQL was designed with simplicity in mind, …
Input Validation One of the major security problems for web applications is insufficient input validation. When user input is implicitly trusted by the application, a problem arises. Given that user input can potentially be manipulated by an attacker, it is clear how this inherent trust might result in a wide range of issues. The problem …
Web Application A software program that we may access using a web browser is known as a web application. The user does not need to install a web application on their machine in order to use it, in contrast to computer programs and smartphone applications. We only need a web browser, such Firefox, MS Edge, …
