As more and more services move online, the importance of access control becomes increasingly clear. Access control refers to the processes that limit the ability of unauthorized individuals or entities to access resources, whether those resources are software, data, or physical spaces. Broken access control is one of the most common vulnerabilities in software, and it's also one of the most damaging. In this article, we'll explore what broken access control is, what its consequences can be, and most importantly, how to prevent it. What is Broken Access Control? Broken access control refers to a situation in which an attacker ... Read More

We will provide an overview of what PeStudio is, how it works, features it provides to its users. The article also includes limitations and recent advancements of PeStudio. What is PeStudio? PeStudio is a tool that provides users with a detailed analysis of executable files, specifically those running on Windows operating systems. The software ... Read More

When computers communicate over the internet, they follow a set of rules and protocols to ensure that data reaches its intended destination. These protocols outline how data is sent, received, and processed by computers, and are necessary for ensuring that the communication is successful. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a reliable protocol that guarantees data is delivered in the correct order and without any errors. It's used for web browsing, file transfers, and email since these applications require reliable and ordered data delivery. User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a lightweight but less reliable protocol. Unlike TCP, UDP doesn't guarantee reliability ... Read More

Encrypting sensitive information is like locking up your valuables in a strongbox, making sure that only those with the key can access it. And one tried and true method for doing so is the Symmetric Cipher Model, also known as Secret Key Cryptography. This encryption model is like having a secret handshake between the sender and receiver, where they both hold the same key to encrypt and decrypt the information being sent. It's fast, simple, and secure all rolled into one, much like killing two birds with one stone. Some of the top reasons to use the Symmetric Cipher Model ... Read More

The IoT gives organizations a potential chance to assemble information from a wide assortment of resources and afterwards communicate it, using the Web, to cloud-based or other IT frameworks. Organizations can then utilize this information to decrease the resources' free time, smooth out their business processes, offer new administrations that increment their incomes, and in any case, change their organizations. In any case, despite the commitment to the IoT and the outcome of numerous IoT projects, there has likewise been an enormous number of disappointments. These disappointments have driven many associations to ask themselves what they misunderstood with their IoT ... Read More

Energy Sustainability refers to meeting the needs of the present without compromising the energy needs of future generations. The sources of energy we mostly depend on are coal and petroleum, which are non-renewable. Burning these fossil fuels causes huge damage to the environment resulting in global warming. These sources are in limited quantities on earth, whose excessive usage leads to depletion. So, energy sustainability is possible only by reducing energy wastage and using renewable energy sources. Energy Efficiency refers to using less energy to produce the same results, which is nothing but eliminating wastage. Energy efficiency can be achieved using ... Read More

For an attack, an attacker needs to hit an attack surface, which is characterized as the entirety of the gadget all's weaknesses. When the assailant recognizes and gets comfortable with the attack surface, they make an attack vector, the way the aggressor uses to find and take advantage of weak IoT gadgets in your organization and cause the gadget to accomplish some different option from what it was planned to do. Normal attack vectors include: a link in an email ("click here if you need to make easy money"), downloaded software ("your Flash player is obsolete"), or in any event, ... Read More

A network attack is any attempt to disrupt, compromise or gain unauthorized access to a computer network or its resources. Network attacks can be classified into several categories, depending on the method used, the target and the intent of the attacker. One way to classify network attacks is by their intent. Some attacks are designed to disrupt the normal operation of a network or its resources, while others are designed to steal sensitive information or take control of network resources. Another way to classify network attacks is by the method used. Some attacks involve exploiting known vulnerabilities in network software ... Read More

Availability in information security refers to the ability of authorized users to access and use data and systems as intended. Ensuring availability is an important aspect of information security because it ensures that users can access the resources they need to complete their work and maintain the operations of an organization. Threats to availability include things like network outages, hardware failures, and cyber attacks that disrupt access to systems or data. To ensure availability, organizations often implement measures such as redundant systems, backup and recovery processes, and incident response plans. Why availability is important Availability is an important aspect of ... Read More

The Bundle Protocol is a networking protocol used to transmit data between nodes in a delay-tolerant network. A delay-tolerant network is a type of network that can operate in environments where there is a significant delay or interruption in the flow of data. The Bundle Protocol is designed to provide reliable end-to-end communication in these types of environments, where other networking protocols may not be effective. The Bundle Protocol is used by several space communications systems, including the Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) system developed by NASA. It is also used in other applications where traditional networking protocols may not be ... Read More
