Evil Twin Attack Explained In Cyber Security

-

 


Hello friends. 


Today is about Evil Twin Attacks



Here is a video to watch If you don't have time to read the whole article: 




This is a malicious form of cyber attack that preys on the unsuspecting trust users place in public WiFi networks.


This type of attack is based on setting up an access point similar to a one that you would set up in a real network. 


This is where the name evil twin attack comes from. 


Two access points that look the same. 


So, you know, evil twin. 


One is good and the other is evil. 



Anyway, the goal is to trick individuals into unknowingly connecting to the bad network, thinking it's the good one. 


Usually this access point has a name similar to the real one with few characters that anyone could miss. 


Once connected, the attacker can listen on communications, intercept sensitive information, or even launch more severe attacks like Man-in-the-Middle exploits.


This type of attack usually happens in public places, so remember that the next time you connect to the public wifi of your favourite coffee shop. 



Thank you for watching the video all the way to the end. 


Remember to use a password manager. 


Stay safe and I will see you in the next one.

Fileless Malware Attacks In Cyber Security

  Fileless Malware Attacks In Cyber Security Hello friends. Today we talk about fileless malware attacks. If you don't have time to watch the whole video, check this video on my YT channel:  These types of malicious attacks happen without the need for traditional executable files to be stored on a system's hard drive. Unlike other malware that relies on files to execute malicious actions, fileless malware operates by residing in the system's volatile memory, aka RAM. These attacks are based on stealth and evasion. It can evade traditional security measures, making detection and mitigation more challenging for antivirus programs. These types of attacks leverage scripts and system tools to carry out malicious activities directly in the computer's memory. This allows attackers to blend in with normal system activities. Detecting and mitigating fileless malware requires advanced cybersecurity measures. Let’s use analogies to explain these types of attacks. Imagine your comp...

  What Is Eavesdropping In Cyber Security Hello friends,   Today is about eavesdropping. Here is a video to watch If you don't have time to read the article:   This is a technique used by hackers in order to intercept electronic communications.   It involves a third party secretly listening to or monitoring communication without the knowledge or consent of the parties involved.   Hackers can use different methods to implement this technique, like:   Packet sniffing, which is basically intercepting and analyzing data packets as they travel across a network. On the other hand, there is Wiretapping, which is physically tapping into communication lines to intercept conversations. And finally, man-in-the-middle attacks, in which the attacker intercepts and potentially alters the communication between two parties,.   Given the nature of this attack, different actions can be taken for prevention and protection.   Like encrypting end-to-end communication ...
