How is botnet created?
A botnet is a collection of compromised computers connected to the Internet (each compromised computer is known as a 'bot'). When a computer is compromised by an attacker, there is often code within the malware that commands it to become part of a botnet. The "botmaster" or "bot herder" controls these compromised computers via standards based network protocols such as IRC and http.
What kind of attack that the attacker is able to access administrator-level resources as a result?
Privilege escalation
What type of attack does an attacker imtercept inspect and alter packets on the fly in the conversation between two networks hosts?
Middle man attack
What is packet spoofing?
In this technique, an attacker sends packets with an incorrect source address. when this happens the receiver i.e the party who receives the packets containg a false source address would inadvertently send replies back to the forged address and not to the attacker
What does hacking do?
Hacking is the act of finding and exploiting weaknesses in computers, networks, software, or devices to gain access, control, or information. It can be used for legitimate purposes, such as security testing, vulnerability research, and improving defenses, when performed with authorization, or for malicious ends like data theft, financial fraud, service disruption (DDoS), spying, or installing malware. Techniques range from social engineering and phishing to exploiting software bugs, misconfigured systems, or weak credentials. The effects of hacking vary from minor privacy breaches to large-scale financial loss, reputational damage, and threats to public safety, depending on the attacker’s intent and the target. Defensive measures—patching, strong authentication, network segmentation, monitoring, and security training—help reduce the risk and impact of hacking.
What attacks come from multiple sources instead of a single source?
Attacks from a single source can be easily defeated with an IP block. Thousands of different IPs make this a much more difficult attack to stop.More sources means more computers. More computers means more computing power. This is especially useful for DoS attacks, where the more requests you can send out the better your attack is.It's much harder to find the original source of an attacker when there are many attacks from different physical locations.
What is vulneratibily?
Vunerability in the context of computers generally means that there is a weak spot in the security of the computer that could let an attacker gain access to your machine.
Where can someone find videos instructing them about disarming an attacker?
One can find videos instructing them about disarming an attacker on several different online video websites. By far the most popular option would be YouTube, where one can find several different videos by different instructors.
If two students connect their computers with a twisted pair network-cable directly between the computers Would it be possible for an attacker to see the files being transferred?
If computers are not connected to the internet at the same time over another cable or wireless, no it is not possible to see the data being transferred
What is the Tamil meaning for Attacker?
தாக்குபவன் (thaakkubavan) Attacker.
What is a man-in-the-middle attack in regards to computers?
The man-in-the-middle attack is cryptography and computer security is a form of active eavesdropping in which the attacker makes independent connections with the victims and relays messages between them, making them believe that they are talking directly to each other over a private connection, when in fact the entire conversation is controlled by the attacker.
What is correct a horse outruns an attacker or outrun an attacker?
The correct way would be 'a horse outruns an attacker', singlular horse, present tense.
What story does the attacker tell Santiago?

Which pre-hacking phase could be accomplished without the attacker ever connecting to the target network?
Foot-printing is the pre-hacking phase that could be accomplished without the attacker ever connecting to the target network.
What is a computer zombie?
The term is used to refer to a computer that an attacker has taken over and is using for his own purposes without the awareness of the computer's rightful owner. The computer can be used to target other computers, send spam email, or other illegal activities.
Does the offside rule give the benefit of the doubt to the attacker or defender?
should be the attacker but usually the defender
What is the other name of stun gun?
Some people also call them Tasers. But Tasers are different, since they have wires with probes that shoot out several feet beyond the handle to reach an attacker. The stun gun does not shoot out probes and in order to stun the attacker, you have to be at arms reach.
