Sometimes we watch movies and read the news on how systems such as Snapchat, eBay, Google, etc., have been compromised and we imagine that hacking is difficult. We think of it as something meant for people who spend 24 hours a day in some basement somewhere. This is not the case – this field is open for anyone.There is a wide array of information security threats out there, such as sniffing and eavesdropping, spoofing, session hijacking and man-in-the-middle attacks, DNS and ARP poisoning, password-based attacks, IDS attacks, SQL injection, security misconfiguration, denial-of-service attacks, and more. As such, it’s so important – now more than ever before – to build a strong foundation.
