A Smurf Attack is a DDoS form that makes computer networks inoperable by exploiting IP (Internet Protocol) and ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocols) vulnerabilities.
The first Smurf Attack goes back to the 1990s, when the University of Minnesota was targeted in 1998. The Minnesota Smurf Attack lasted more than an hour and “set off a chain reaction throughout the state, shutting down some computers entirely and in other cases causing data loss and network slowdowns.”

Authorization is still an area in which security professionals “mess up more often.”
It can be challenging to determine and perpetually monitor who gets access to which data resources, how they should be able to access them, and under which conditions they are granted access, for starters. But inconsistent or weak authorization protocols can create security holes that need to be identified and plugged as quickly as possible.

So why is it important to monitor networks? The network is the life line of the IT infrastructure. When networks fail, the flow of information required by applications and business operations stop.
Networks are dynamic environments. Network Admins are continually asked to add new users, technologies and applications to their networks. These changes can impact their ability to deliver consistent, predictable network performance.

Organizations conduct penetration testing to locate network vulnerabilities and to prevent attacks that can cause system downtime, data loss, and damaged reputations. While other measures exist, conducting penetration testing is a vital part of any effective, holistic security strategy. It’s the best way to determine system vulnerabilities that can then be remediated to prevent hackers from accessing mission-critical systems.

Evil Twin Attack is attack is frequently carried upon wireless access points with malicious intentions.
This attack happens when attackers exploits a fundamental issue with Wi-Fi, i.e., our Laptops, smartphones, and connected devices aren't equipped to distinguish between two radios broadcasting the same SSID name. This allows hackers to use malicious access points (APs) that eavesdrop on traffic, establish "man-in-the-middle" (MitM) positions, and extract sensitive information, often without leaving any traces behind.
