Cyber Attacks
Tech
In today’s highly connected world, web applications are ubiquitous and serve as the backbone of many organizations’ online presence. Unfortunately, they are also prime targets for cyberattacks. To protect sensitive data and maintain the integrity of web-based services, Web Application Penetration Testing (Pentesting) has become an indispensable part of any robust cybersecurity strategy. This detailed guide will walk you through everything you need to know about web application penetration testing, from why it's essential to how the process works, common tools used, and what you should consider to make the most of your pentesting efforts.
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is one of the oldest standard protocols used for file transfer between a client and a server over a computer network. Despite its wide adoption, it is a plain-text protocol, meaning the data sent over it isn't encrypted, making it a common target for attackers. FTP operates on port 21 by default and supports two types of connections: Active and Passive. In this blog, we’ll explore the common security challenges and pentesting techniques related to FTP.
Neuromorphic computing is an emerging technology designed to mimic the human brain's processing capabilities, addressing the limitations of traditional computer hardware in handling complex AI tasks. By utilizing artificial neurons and synapses, neuromorphic systems enable parallel processing, real-time learning, and energy efficiency, making them ideal for applications in artificial intelligence, healthcare, robotics, and cybersecurity. With advancements in neuromorphic hardware like Intel's Loihi and IBM's TrueNorth, this technology holds the potential to revolutionize industries by enhancing decision-making, personalizing healthcare, and optimizing IoT devices. As research continues, overcoming challenges in scalability, precision, and algorithm development will be crucial for realizing the full potential of neuromorphic computing in creating a more interconnected and efficient future.
