Security breaches that put our privacy at risk, leaks of our data, passwords... are incidents that happen more and more often. Protecting ourselves from these information leaks is often beyond our reach, but this does not mean that we should not try to take measures to protect our data. DNS-over-TLS can be very helpful in encrypting our communications, making them much more secure.
The wireless protocols used in industrial environments for communication between devices are numerous are extensive, therefore ensuring these communications is vital for industrial process to function correctly. In this article, we'll look at the advantages of wireless communication audits and the disadvantages of not performing them.
Not only is the interpretation of network traffic crucial to analyse the safety and performance of a network structure, but also for other tasks, such as incident management, the optimisation of our network infrastructure or for didactic purposes. In order to do so, it is necessary to have dissectors that help separate each of the fields that make up a protocol, and allow them to be individually analysed.
Denial-of-service attacks are a type of cyber-attack which consists on reducing or cancelling altogether the capacity of servers or other computing resources to provide service. A denial-of-service attack can occur in different scenarios, such as overloading online services by mass request sending or exploiting vulnerabilities of programs or services in order to suspend function totally or partially. In most of such attacks, attackers use a wide range of techniques and tools to hide their identities, which makes it especially challenging to find the culprits.
The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) has published the 10 most critical web application risks, 2017 edition, which points injection attacks as the greater security risk once again, as in the 2013 and 2010 editions.
El framework abierto y de uso más extendido para la comunicación y puntuación de vulnerabilidades, el CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) ha sido actualizado incorporando mejoras en una nueva version: CVSS 3.0
