Download or read book Instant Messaging and Cross Site Scripting XSS written by Katharina Kurek and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2012-05-09 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Computer Science - IT-Security, Ruhr-University of Bochum (Netz und Datensicherheit), course: IT Sicherheit, language: English, abstract: Cross-Site Scripting is a wide-spread kind of attack. It has been reported and exploited since the 1990s and became more and more important in the era of Web 2.0. Roughly 80 percent of all security vulnerabilities are Cross-Site Scripting [Syman2007]. But Cross-Site Scripting has always been a web application security hole so far and everyone focused on secure programming of web applications. In addition to this, there are many more possibilities of data exchange like instant messaging. Instant messaging clients were developed further and are now able to interpret HTML. This new potential of security holes is the emphasis of this work. The focus is on the question: Is it possible to execute JavaScript in file system context?

Download or read book CyberForensics written by Jennifer Bayuk and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-10 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyberforensics is a fairly new word in the technology our industry, but one that n- ertheless has immediately recognizable meaning. Although the word forensics may have its origins in formal debates using evidence, it is now most closely associated with investigation into evidence of crime. As the word cyber has become synonymous with the use of electronic technology, the word cyberforensics bears no mystery. It immediately conveys a serious and concentrated endeavor to identify the evidence of crimes or other attacks committed in cyberspace. Nevertheless, the full implications of the word are less well understood. Cyberforensic activities remain a mystery to most people, even those fully immersed in the design and operation of cyber te- nology. This book sheds light on those activities in a way that is comprehensible not only to technology professionals but also to the technology hobbyist and those simply curious about the ?eld. When I started contributing to the ?eld of cybersecurity, it was an obscure ?eld, rarely mentioned in the mainstream media. According to the FBI, by 2009 organized crime syndicates were making more money via cybercrime than in drug traf?- ing. In spite of the rise in cybercrime and the advance of sophisticated threat actors online, the cyber security profession continues to lag behind in its ability to inves- gate cybercrime and understand the root causes of cyber attacks. In the late 1990s I worked to respond to sophisticated attacks as part of the U. S.

Download or read book Cyber Attacks And Cyberstalking In Social Media And Crimes Against Children And Teenagers In The Cyberworld written by Biju Parampakath and published by BFC Publications. This book was released on 2023-12-09 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Internet has emerged as one of the most important means of communication in the modern period, and social networking sites account for a significant proportion of time spent online. In 2021, it is anticipated that there will be a total of 3.78 billion individuals utilising social media. As a result of more people using the internet and social media, cybersecurity has arisen as one of the most pressing problems that have surfaced over the course of the last few years. The internet has developed into a fundamental component of modern life, acting as the primary centre for effective communication in the modern age. Due to this, a range of cyber risks, such as hackers, wire fraud, and certain other types of damage, as well as black hat hackers, online harassment, and cyberattacks, have turned the internet into a vulnerability. It has been shown that social media sites include a variety of cyber threats. A higher level of awareness is associated with a smaller number of people reporting engaging in risky activities online. According to the National Investigation Agency's (NCRB) sources, social media platforms are used in one out of every six instances of online criminal activity in India. According to data released by the National Crime Records Bureau, there was an increase of around 70 per cent in the number of cybercrimes committed annually between 2013 and 2015.
