Side-Channel Attacks

SSLv2

Samuel a security administrator, is accessing the configuration of a web server. He noticed that the server permits SSLv2 connections, and the same private key certificate is used on a different server that allows SSLv2 connections. This vulnerability makes the web server vulnerable to attack as the SSLv2 server can leak key information. Which of the following attack can be performed by exploiting the above vulnerability?

connected

Richard, an attacker, aimed to hack IoT devices connected to a target network. In this process, Richard recorded the frequency required to share information between connected devices. After obtaining frequency, he captured the original data when commands were initiated by the connected devices. Once the original data were collected, he used free tools such as URH to segregate the commands sequence. Subsequently, he started injecting the segregated command sequence on the same frequency into the IoT network, which repeats the captured signals of the devices. What is the type of attack performed by Richard in the above Scenario?

CISSP Understand Methods of Cryptanalytic Attacks – Bk1D3T9St8

It is important to understand how cryptography can be attacks so that you understand where vulnerabilities might be found and how the incorrect application of cryptography can result in vulnerabilities. We divide these into attack vectors of interest to security architects, and attack vectors of interest to cryptographers. These are different attack vectors. As a security architect you will need to understand architectural weaknesses that  can be exploited by attackers so that you can ensure …
