Domain Name System (DNS) Exfiltration
Domain Name System (DNS) Exfiltration: DNS exfiltration is a cyberattack method where attackers use the DNS protocol to stealthily move data from a compromised network to their own systems. Because DNS requests are common in network traffic and often allowed out of networks, attackers can covertly encode data within these requests, bypassing many security measures […]
East-West APIs
East-West APIs: These APIs facilitate internal communications and data exchange between services and applications within an organization’s IT infrastructure. Focused on optimizing the flow of information within the data center, East-West APIs are crucial for microservices architectures and containerized applications, where a high volume of internal traffic is common.
Domain Name System (DNS) Poisoning
Domain Name System (DNS) Poisoning: A type of security exploit where an attacker redirects a DNS query to a different destination, typically a malicious website, by contaminating the DNS cache data of a DNS resolver with incorrect IP address entries. The attacker’s goal is to control the mapping of domain names to IP addresses to […]
Eavesdropping
Eavesdropping: A method where unauthorized individuals listen to, monitor, or intercept others’ private conversations, data transmissions, or communications without consent. Eavesdropping can happen in various forms, such as wiretapping telephone lines, accessing email communications, or sniffing network packets. It’s a primary concern in the world of communication and data transmission as it could lead to […]
Domain Name System (DNS)
Domain Name System (DNS): A hierarchical and decentralized naming system for computers, services, or other resources connected to the Internet or a private network. It translates more readily memorized domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of locating and identifying computer services and devices with the underlying network protocols.
Echo checks
Echo checks: A simple error detection technique used in data communication to verify the integrity of transmitted data. In echo checks, a copy of the transmitted data is sent back to the sender for comparison with the original data. This method helps ensure that the data received is identical to what was sent, thereby maintaining […]
