What are cyber attacks?
In simple terms, cyber attacks are attempts of disabling or stealing information from other computers, by gaining access to admin privileges to them.
Why should businesses be worried?
An average ransomware attack costs a company $5 million. Attackers target all types of businesses, small and large, healthcare, banking & finance, manufacturing, education, even government. The internet has made life a lot easier for business owners, at the same time it has made them easier to get hacked.
Secure web programming plus end users' awareness are the last line of defense against attacks targeted at the corporate systems, particularly web applications, in the era of world-wide web.
Most web application attacks occur through Cross Site Scripting (XSS), and SQL Injection. On the other hand, most web application vulnerabilities arise from weak coding with failure to properly validate users' input, and failure to properly sanitize output while displaying the data to the visitors.
The literature also confirms the following web application weaknesses in 2010: 26% improper output handling, 22% improper input handling, and 15% insufficient authentication, and others.
Abdul Rahman Sherzad, lecturer at Computer Science Faculty of Herat University, and Ph.D. student at Technical University of Berlin gave a presentation at 12th IT conference on Higher Education for Afghanistan in MoHE, and then conducted a seminar at Hariwa Institute of Higher Education in Herat, Afghanistan introducing web application security threats by demonstrating the security problems that exist in corporate systems with a strong emphasis on secure development. Major security vulnerabilities, secure design and coding best practices when designing and developing web-based applications were covered.
The main objective of the presentation was raising awareness about the problems that might occur in web-application systems, as well as secure coding practices and principles. The presentation's aims were to build security awareness for web applications, to discuss the threat landscape and the controls users should use during the software development lifecycle, to introduce attack methods, to discuss approaches for discovering security vulnerabilities, and finally to discuss the basics of secure web development techniques and principles.

The CEH v11 program provides an in-depth understanding of ethical hacking phases, various attack vectors, and preventative countermeasures. It will teach you how hackers think and act maliciously so that you will be better positioned to set up your security infrastructure and defend against future attacks.
Vulnerabilities
The larger and more complex information systems are, the greater the possibility of error in logic and loopholes in algorithm.
These are weak points that could enable hackers to breach a system and compromise the integrity of information stored. Programmers themselves who are not yet adept in writing software code can unknowingly misuse the code and lead to a vulnerability.
A classic example of vulnerabilities that can be exploited is a weak password or its repeated use on various services or software. There are also websites containing malware that installs automatically once visited. Even legitimate software could be a venue for an exploit due to unknown errors (bugs) generated by the program. The end-user or the human element in information systems is arguably the weakest point that hackers easily utilize.
0-day exploits
0-hour or 0-day attack is the exploitation by outside parties of a security hole in a computer program which is unknown from its developers. The term comes from the premise that the attack unfolds on the “day 0, meaning no awareness as of yet from the developers so there is no opportunity and time to issue a fix for the threat. Zero-day exploits are usually shared among hackers even before the developer knew.
Programmers could use the vulnerabilities via several avenues: on web browsers and email. Web browsers allow for a wider target. Meanwhile, using email, hackers can send a message that includes an executable file on the attachments, set to run once downloaded.
Such 0-day threats are in the time frame where a security hole is exploited up to the time that the program developers issued a patch for it.
CEH v11 will teach you the latest commercial-grade hacking tools. Highlights of what sets CEH v11 apart from others are given in this SlideShare.

The talk sheds light on the new trends of web based malware. Technology and Insecurity goes hand in hand. With the advent of new attacks and techniques the distribution of malware through web has been increased tremendously. Browser based exploits mainly Internet Explorer have given a birth to new world of malware infection. The attackers spread malware elegantly by exploiting the vulnerabilities and drive by downloads. The infection strategies opted by attackers like malware distribution through IFRAME injections and Search Engine Optimization. In order to understand the intrinsic behavior of these web based malware a typical analysis is required to understand the logic concept working behind these web based malwares. It is necessary to dissect these malwares from bottom to top in order to control the devastating behavior. The talk will cover structured methodologies and demonstrate the static, dynamic and behavioral analysis of web malware including PCAP analytics. Demonstrations will prove the fact and necessity of web malware analysis.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. Microsoft Research's GraphRAG paper and a review paper on various uses of knowledge graphs:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/graphrag-unlocking-llm-discovery-on-narrative-private-data/
3. An exploit is a piece of software of chunk of
data that takes advantage of velnerability or
bug in order to cause unintended or
unanticipated behavior to occur on computer.
latest.com.co (Imperial Soft Tech)
5. Cross-site scripting is a security loophole on a
website that is hard to detect and stop, making
the site vulnerable to attacks from malicious
hackers.
latest.com.co (Imperial Soft Tech)
6. SQL Injection involves entering SQL code into
web forms, eg. login fields, or into the browser
address field, to access and manipulate the
database behind the site, system or application.
latest.com.co (Imperial Soft Tech)
7. clickjacking attacks a fundamental design of
HTML itself. It's pulled off by hiding the target
URL within a specially designed iframe that's
concealed by a decoy page that contains
submission buttons.
latest.com.co (Imperial Soft Tech)
8. A denial of service attack (DOS) is an attack through which a person
can render a system unusable or significantly slow down the system
for legitimate users by overloading the resources, so that no one can
access it.this is not actually hacking a webite but it is used to take
down a website.
If an attacker is unable to gain access to a machine, the attacker most
probably will just crash the machine to accomplish a denial of service
attack,this one of the most used method for website hacking
latest.com.co (Imperial Soft Tech)
9. In computer security the term proof of concept
(proof of concept code or PoC) is often used
as a synonym for a zero-day exploit which,
mainly for its early creation, does not take full
advantage over some vulnerability.
latest.com.co (Imperial Soft Tech)
10. a spoofing attack is a situation in which one
person or program successfully masquerades
as another by falsifying data and thereby
gaining an illegitimate advantage.
11. 1.Design goals should be minimalist.
2.Proof of concepts should be written as
Auxiliary DoS modules, not as exploits.
3.The final exploit reliability must be high.
4.Target lists should be inclusive.
5.exploits should be readable as well.
latest.com.co (Imperial Soft Tech)
13. This is a remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker
who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take
complete control of an affected system remotely. On
Microsoft Windows 2000-based, Windows XP-based, and
Windows Server 2003-based systems, an attacker could
exploit this vulnerability over RPC without authentication
and
could
run
arbitrary
code.
