2. Social engineering: Hackers manipulate people into divulging confidential information by gaining their trust or impersonating someone else.
3. Malware: Hackers create and distribute malicious software, such as viruses, worms, and trojans, which can infect computers and steal sensitive data.
4. Brute force attacks: Hackers use automated tools to guess passwords or encryption keys by trying all possible combinations until they find the correct one.
5. SQL injection: Hackers exploit vulnerabilities in websites and web applications to gain unauthorized access to databases and extract sensitive information.
6. Cross-site scripting (XSS): Hackers inject malicious scripts into web pages to steal cookies and session information from users.
7. Man-in-the-middle attacks: Hackers intercept communication between two parties to eavesdrop on sensitive information or alter messages.
These are just a few of the many techniques that hackers use to compromise security. It is important to stay vigilant and take proactive measures to protect against cyber threats.
