 Malware is the collective name for a number of malicious software variants, including viruses, ransomware and spyware. Shorthand for malicious software, malware typically consists of code developed by cyberattackers, designed to cause extensive damage to data and systems or to gain unauthorized access to a network. Malware is typically delivered in the form of a link or file over email and requires the user to click on the link or open the file to execute the malware.   Malware has actually been a threat to individuals and organizations since the early 1970s when the Creeper virus first appeared. Since then, the world has been under attack from hundreds of thousands of different malware variants, all with the intent of causing the most disruption and damage as possible. What Can Malware Do?         Malware delivers its payload in a number of different ways. From demanding a ransom to stealing sensitive personal data, cybercriminals ...

Computer networks are the basis of communication in IT. They are used in a huge variety of ways and can include many different types of network. A computer network is a set of computers that are connected together so that they can share information. The earliest examples of computer networks are from the 1960s, but they have come a long way in the half-century since then. How Computer Networks Are Evolving ? Modern-day networks deliver more than connectivity. Organizations are embarking on transforming themselves digitally. Their networks are critical to this transformation and to their success. The types of network architectures that are evolving to meet these needs are as follows:   •  Software-defined  (SDN): In response to new requirements in the "digital" age, network architecture is becoming more programmable, automated, and open. In software-defined networks, routing of traffic is controlled centrally through software-based mechanisms. This helps the network to ...

A WAF or Web Application Firewall helps protect web applications by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic between a web application and the Interne t. It typically protects web applications from attacks such as cross-site forgery, cross-site-scripting (XSS), file inclusion, and SQL injection, among others. A WAF is a protocol layer 7 defense (in the OSI model), and is not designed to defend against all types of attacks. This method of attack mitigation is usually part of a suite of tools which together create a holistic defense against a range of attack vectors.    How Web Application Firewall (WAF) work ? Web application firewalls are designed to be placed on the application layer, acting as a two-way gatekeeper, and analyzes the HTTP/HTTPS traffic going in and leaving the application; the WAF will then take action whenever it detects malicious traffic. A benefit of WAFs is that they function independently from the application, but can constantly adjust to ap...

Cloud computing is the delivery of different services through the Internet. These resources include tools and applications like data storage, servers, databases, networking, and software.  Rather than keeping files on a proprietary hard drive or local storage device, cloud-based storage makes it possible to save them to a remote database. As long as an electronic device has access to the web, it has access to the data and the software programs to run it.     USES Rather than owning their own computing infrastructure or data centers , companies and common public can rent access to anything from applications to storage from a cloud service provider. One benefit of using cloud computing services is that firms can avoid the upfront cost and complexity of owning and maintaining their own IT infrastructure, and instead simply pay for what they use, when they use it. In turn, providers of cloud computing services can benefit from significant economies of scale by del...

 Digital Forensics is defined as the process of preservation , identification , extraction , and documentation of computer evidence which can be used by the court of law. It is a science of finding evidence from digital media like a computer , mobile phone , server , or network .  It provides the forensic team with the best techniques and tools to solve complicated digital-related cases.   Digital Forensics helps the forensic team to analyzes, inspect, identifies, and preserve the digital evidence residing on various types of electronic devices.    So now a question arises that why digital forensics is important and what are its objects.   Objectives of Digital Forensics 1. It helps to recover, analyze, and preserve computer and related materials in such a manner that it helps the investigation agency to present them as evidence in a court of law 2. Helps you to identify the evidence quickly, and also allows you to estimate the potential impa...

 As i said in my previous post i will tell how to find resources and material to study and explore the cyber security field. The tricks i will share are my own tricks but sharing on my blog........... :) From this tricks you can find stuff related to any topic........ But before you start hunting for your resources I want to share some useful tips and sources for learning.................................   My personal tip to the new comers in this field is that, you all have to LEARN and for that internet is full of knowledge and you just have to type it out and search it..............but many people ask me that what we actually have to search on google, so as people go through this problem that they don't even know that which topics they have to learn.................so there is a simple answer to that, just pick up a random article,blog,book etc and read it...........take your own notes and write down the points mentioned in that article,blog,book etc.............and just se...

 The question from where should in start learning pen testing, forensics, and stuff related to ethical hacking is frustrating.  And the beginners are always in a dilemma that what is the best resource to start it from scratch to advance, and this dilemma leads them to waste of time on useless courses. Today i will clear your all doubts related to " How To Start Journey In Cyber Security " As i told in my previous post their are many different types of roles that you can choose in Information and security. So it is very important that you should know that which field you want to achieve and luckily their are many present field to choose, some of them are Web Application Security , Digital Forensics , Network Security , IOT Security , Reverse Engineering, etc   So the step 1 is to know that what you actually want to Learn and after you know that what you want to learn. Then set a target and imagine that, the target is on the other side of road and you have to cross the r...
