SQL injections, brute force attacks, DDOS

1. SQL INJECTIONS

   • An SQL injection is a computer attack in which malicious code is embedded in a poorly-designed application and then passed to the back end database
   • The malicious data then produces database query results or actions that should never have been executed.

2. BRUTE FORCE ATTACK

   • A brute force attack is a trial-and-error method used to obtain information such as a user password or personal identification number (PIN).
   • In a brute force attack, automated software is used to generate a large number of consecutive guesses as to the value of the desired data.

3. DDOS

   • In computing, a denial-of-service attack is a cyber-attack in which the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a host connected to the Internet.
