Cyber attacks you need to know 🚀

I made a mistake..

I made a big mistake when starting my Cyber Security career: I focused on everything but attacks. I spent so much time learning Linux, networking, and cloud computing that I neglected to learn how some really basic attacks work. I’ve since made up for that mistake. Here are the 7 most common attacks so you don’t feel left behind.

1. Man-in-the-Middle (MitM):
   Public Wi-Fi networks, especially unsecured ones in coffee shops or train stations, are prime targets for MitM attacks. Hackers can intercept your data transmissions if you access online banking or enter sensitive information on these networks. From a technical point of view, MitM attacks involves an attacker intercepting communications between two parties, unbeknownst to them. By exploiting security weaknesses, the attacker can steal or alter the data being exchanged. Techniques like ARP spoofing are common, highlighting the need for encrypted channels like HTTPS to prevent such breaches and ensure data security… or use a VPN.
