Weaknesses in the Internet
Internet is vulnerable to flaws and weaknesses in the defenses. This weakness may be caused by software bugs and flaws in the design of the system. The reason some weaknesses to the wrong data entry, as often allows direct execution of commands or language SQL statements. And sometimes fails programmed to check the size of stored data, which lead to a flood of data which causes stack corruption or regions binary tree in memory And often allows vulnerabilities an attacker to circumvent the program to bypass screening access or execute commands on the host system for this program.
There are a number of weaknesses and be your computer or your network vulnerable. It is the most common validation errors such as data entry errors resulting from code format text symbols, and the wrong deal with changing symbols for the cover of the program is therefore interpret these symbols, and the introduction of SQL statements and include conflicting scripts - Location within web applications. It is also common vulnerabilities crash stack overflow data in the cache in addition to files symbolic links .
Screening weaknesses
There could be weaknesses in all major operating systems such as Windows,apple, Linux, and others. And weaknesses can be examined in the network and servers through a special test is used for the test servers and web pages and firewalls and is to see how exposure to vulnerabilities. The software can be downloaded examine the weaknesses of the Internet.
Security problems
The problem occurs when security is penetrated your system through one of the attackers or intruders (the hacker), viruses or other types of malicious programs
And more people are targeted in security breaches are the people who are surfing the Internet, where penetration causes annoying problems such as slow browsing and movement interrupted at regular intervals. And can not access the data and at worst can penetrate the user's personal information.
In the case of programming errors or wrong settings in a web server, it is possible that let remote users unauthorized to confidential documents containing personal information or to obtain information about the host device server which allows a break of the system. As these people can execute commands on the host server, which can amend the rules and launch attacks dumped leading to machine crashes temporarily, as that attacks (DoS) target slower or Shell data traffic across the network. It is also during attacks of Distributed (DoS), the aggressor is using a number of computers seized by an attack on a computer or other computers. The main program is installed for the attacks Distributed (DoS) in a computer using a stolen account.
The spy network data and intercept information transmitted between the server and the browser can become possible if you leave an open network or servers and weaknesses exposed.
Hacker
A hacker is a person who creates and modifies computer software and hardware. This term has become a significant negative terms became known to the person who exploit the system to get through unauthorized access to systems and carry out unwanted and illegal. However, this term (hacker) can be given to the person who uses his skills to develop computer software and computer systems management and the security of the computer.
Computer viruses
Computer viruses are the most common among the information security problems faced by individuals and companies. The computer virus is a program that is undesirable and enters the device without permission and enters copies of itself in computer programs, and the virus is a malicious software or spam. And other malicious scripts called worms, Trojan horses or publicity programs or spyware.
