here are many different sources of threats with many different motivations for attacking your network. In this video, you’ll learn about threat actors and the differences between these different types of attacker. << Previous Video: Malicious Scripts Next: Attack Vectors >> The definition of a threat actor is an entity responsible for an event that […]
An attacker might use different scripting methods depending on the situation. In this video, you’ll learn about PowerShell scripts, Python, shell scripts, macros, and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). << Previous Video: Denial of Service Next: Threat Actors >> If you’ve ever done any type of automation or scripting with an operating system or devices

The Domain Name System is a critical part of the network communication process. In this video, you’ll learn about DNS poisoning, domain hijacking, URL hijacking, and the importance of domain reputation. << Previous Video: MAC Flooding and Cloning Next: Denial of Service >> One way that attackers can manipulate a DNS is by
An attacker can sometimes manipulate network traffic to gain unauthorized access to information. In this video, you’ll learn about MAC flooding and MAC cloning or spoofing. << Previous Video: On-Path Attacks Next: DNS Attacks >> In networking, the term MAC address refers to the Media Access Control address of a network card. We
