Malicious software, also known as malware, comes in a variety of attack vectors and characteristics. The ability to stay current with the different malware and variants is one of the biggest challenges for modern security professionals. Begin this course by exploring malware attacks like ransomware, trojan horses, and logic bombs. Then you will investigate physical and network attacks including brute force, denial-of-service, and credential replay attacks. Next, you will focus on application and cryptographic attacks, such as buffer overflow, privilege escalation, collision, and birthday attacks. Finally, you will take a look at password attacks and discover indicators of compromise, like concurrent session usage, blocked content, and impossible travel. This course is part of a series that prepares you for the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) exam.

Compare malware attacks, including ransomware, trojan horses, remote access trojans (rats), worms, viruses, spyware and bloatware, keyloggers, logic bombs, and rootkits
Define physical attacks, such as brute force, radio-frequency identification (rfid) cloning, and environmental
Describe network attacks, including denial-of-service (dos)/distributed denial-of-service (ddos), domain name system (dns) attacks, wireless, on-path, credential replay, and malicious code
Provide an overview of different application attacks, such as injection, buffer overflow, replay, privilege escalation, forgery, and directory traversal -
Compare cryptographic attacks like downgrade, collision, birthday, brute force, and side-channel
Define password attacks, including spraying, brute force, and wordlists
Describe various indicators of compromise like account lockout, concurrent session usage, blocked content, impossible travel, resource consumption, out-of-cycle logging, and missing logs
