A security guard who does not understand how motion detectors interact with infrared trip lights may not know what to do when one system alarm shows an intruder but the other does not. In addition, complex systems allow many opportunities for something to go wrong. In short, complex systems can be a thief’s ally. The same is true with information security. Complex.

This may work because a rootkit that is not running cannot hide its presence. Most.

An impenetrable network that resisted all attacks would keep all systems secure. Because of that philosophy, in the area of information security, most attention was directed toward hardening the.

With. The server reads the code and if it recognizes that a message has been tampered with, it does not respond. Using a replay attack, an attacker could capture the message sent from the network device to the server. Later, he could send that original message to the server and the server may respond, thinking it came from the valid device. Now a trusted relationship has been established between the attacker and the server. Because the attacker knows that he will receive a response from the.
