Cyber Attacks : Zero Days
A Zero-Day Attack is one of the most sophisticated and dangerous forms of cyber exploitation. It occurs when hackers exploit a previously unknown vulnerability in software, hardware, or firmware before the vendor or developers can release a patch. The term “zero-day” refers to the lack of lead time available for developers to address the flaw,…

Cyber attacks : Buffer Overflow
Buffer overflow is one of the most infamous and longstanding vulnerabilities in computer security. It occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer—a contiguous block of memory—than it can hold. This overflow can corrupt adjacent memory, alter program execution, or allow attackers to inject malicious code. Buffer overflows are particularly dangerous because they…

Scrypt
Scrypt is a cryptographic algorithm that has garnered significant attention in the realms of secure communications, blockchain technology, and password hashing. Originally designed by Colin Percival in 2009, Scrypt was developed to address some of the vulnerabilities of earlier hashing algorithms, particularly focusing on the increasing computational power of modern hardware. Unlike traditional algorithms like…
