Understanding the characteristics of various types of attacks goes a long way in helping cybersecurity analysts prevent and detect malicious activity. A knowledge of techniques and attacks such as buffer overflows and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks facilitates mitigation planning. In this course, I will begin by covering how SYN flood attacks from the 3-way Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) handshake. Next, I will detail various types of buffer overflow, cross-site scripting (XSS), and injection attacks. I will then execute a structured query language (SQL) injection attack followed by discussing potential extensible markup language (XML) vulnerabilities and DDoS attack mitigations. Moving on, I will run a denial-of-service (DoS), client web browser, and reverse shell attack. Lastly, I will spoof network traffic, crack Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) passwords and discuss common Wi-Fi attacks. This course can be used to prepare for the CS0-003: CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst+ exam.
