- Welcome to lesson three.
Types of attacks and vulnerabilities.
This lesson starts with an overview
of the different types of security vulnerabilities.
We will then shift gears to learn about
passive reconnaissance,
and social engineering.
You will also learn how to perform
active reconnaissance,
system scanning,
and host profiling.
You will gain an understanding
of privilege escalation,
and code execution attacks,
as well as how attackers,
leverage back doors,
and on-path attacks.
You will learn about denial service attacks,
attack methods for data exfiltration,
ARP cache poisoning,
and route manipulation attacks.
This lesson also covers,
different password attacks,
wireless attacks,
and security evasion techniques.
You will learn about the challenges
of data visibility,
in detection,
and identifying potential data loss
from provided traffic profiles.
This lesson ends
with a comparison of rule based detection,
versus behavioral,
and a statistical detection.
