Input control: The process of validating and verifying user input to prevent errors and unauthorized access. It is used in computer programming and system administration to ensure that only valid and authorized input is accepted by a system or application. Examples -password authentication, captcha verification, and permission checks.
Input Validation
Input Validation: The process of checking and verifying user input to ensure it is in the correct format and meets the specified criteria. It is used in computer programming and system administration to prevent errors and unauthorized access. Examples -data type checking, range checking, and regex matching.
Inputs and outputs
Inputs and outputs: The inputs and outputs of a system or process refer to the data that is received and processed and the resulting output. It is used in computer programming and system design to define the inputs and outputs of a system or process. Examples -user input, system output, and error messages.
Insecure direct object access
Insecure direct object access: Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR) occur when an application provides direct access to objects based on user-supplied input. This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass authorization and access resources within the system by manipulating reference values. IDOR can lead to unauthorized data exposure, data modification, or execution of operations with objects such […]
Instant Messaging (IM)
Instant Messaging (IM): A form of real-time communication through text transmitted over the internet. IM allows users to exchange messages quickly and is often equipped with additional features, including file transfer, video chat, and presence awareness.
Instruction set
Instruction set: The set of instructions that a computer or processor can execute. It is used in computer architecture and programming to define the capabilities and limitations of a system or processor. Examples -arithmetic and logical operations, memory access, and control flow.
