Volume-based attacks, also known as volumetric attacks, are a type of DDoS attack that flood a target with massive amounts of network traffic, overwhelming its resources and causing service disruptions. These attacks are typically measured in bits per second (bps), packets per second (pps), or connections per second (cps). The goal is to saturate the target's bandwidth and processing power, making it unable to handle legitimate traffic
Application-based attacks exploit vulnerabilities in software applications to gain unauthorized access, disrupt functionality, or steal data. These attacks can target various layers of an application, including the web, API, and mobile application layers. Common types include injection attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and denial-of-service (DoS/DDoS) attacks.
A URL interpretation attack, also known as a semantic URL attack, occurs when an attacker manipulates the parameters of a URL to exploit vulnerabilities in how a web application interprets the URL's syntax and semantics. This can lead to unauthorized access to resources, modification of data, or other unexpected behavior
A dictionary attack is a type of cyberattack where hackers try to guess passwords by systematically trying words from a pre-defined list (a "dictionary") of common passwords. This method exploits the fact that many people use predictable or easily guessed passwords. Attackers use automated tools to rapidly input these potential passwords until they find a match, gaining unauthorized access to systems or data
Protocol-based attacks are a type of DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack that exploits weaknesses in network protocols, particularly at Layers 3 and 4 of the OSI model. These attacks aim to disrupt a service by overwhelming a target's resources with malicious connection requests or by exploiting protocol vulnerabilities to exhaust server capacity.
