Attacks

Reconnaissance is basically an unauthorized user access to acquire the knowledge of network system devices, applications running on those systems, and the weakness of those systems. This phenomenon is also known as information gathering and, it often precedes a real access or Denial of Service (DoS) attack.

1.1.1.2 Access Attacks

Access is a wide terminology that explains to the ability of a certain source to connect to a specific destination. When a destination has been aimed, the intruder will attempt to use some application to trap the victim. This attack can come in the form of unauthorized data recovery or system access. Through this attack hacker can install software on computer which can be used later infect he can perform any action he want.

1.1.1.3 DoS Attacks

DoS is an activity when the hacker corrupts the networks, systems, or services in order to turn down the service to its desired users. It usually involves destroying the system or slowing it down. DoS attacks can also be as simple as cleaning or damaging data necessary for business. Often the action of attack simply involves running a hack, script, or tool. The attacker does not need earlier access to the target, only a way to the target. As soon as the path is recognized, adverse damage can be caused. DoS attacks are comparatively easy to set off and can be performed secretly; it is the most dangerous attack on the Internet. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is when the source of the attack is multiple systems (usually spread across a large network) making it very tricky to find and stop the source.
