Overview#
Attack is an intentional act by which an attacker attempts to violate another entity's privacy or security. RFC 4949.Attacks Classifications#
All? Attacks may be broadly classified as either: Classification of the Attack is a useful first step in understanding and responding to an information security incident.Attack types#
