what is Back door ?
what is black door ?
A back door is generally a piece of code intentionally left by the developer of the software or firmware that allows access without going through the normal security process.
A black door is usually a piece of code that is intentionally left behind by a software developer or Firmware that allows access without going through the normal security process.
Back doors may also be the result of different malware/virus attacks that leave a method for remote,
Black door may also be the result of various malware/virus attacks that leave the method to remote, or,
unsecured access into a device once the malicious code has been executed.
unsafe access to the device after malicious code is executed.

What is Man in the middle attack ?
Is that Man in the middle of an attack?
The man in the middle attack requires that the connection between two computers be compromised.
The man in the middle of the attack required that the connection between the two computers be compromised.
This man in the middle captures and relays the information being passed between the originator and the target in order to glean information from the data.
The man in the middle of this captures and conveys the information conveyed between the originator and the target to get the information from the data.
Using a secure authentication method between computers, which repeatedly checks for authentication signatures of some type, will reduce people in a middle attack.

What is a phishing attack?
TSpear phishing attacks are more narrowly targeted than regular phishing attacks.
TSpear phishing attacks are narrower than regular phishing attacks.

This takes them outside of their protected network, making their computer suspectable to attack.
This takes them out of a protected network, leaving their computers vulnerable to attack.

What are Social engineering attacks ?
What is a social engineering attack?
Social engineering attacks are aimed at the weakest part of any IT security system: the end user. These are attacks that attempt to trick the user into responding. The attack may ply on the user’s sympathy, or link to something of interest (such as the famous Anna Kournikova attack in 2001).These attacks can be as straightforward as a simple phishing email, or more complex, involving computer-based efforts as well as interactions in the real world.

What is Visual Hacking ?
What is Visual Hacking?
Visual hacking is an in-person form of hacking that takes advantage of poor security on the part of end users.When it comes to securing a work computer and physical workspace, few employees take good care not to leave information up on their screens or around their desks. Taking a walk through a large company will certainly prove unattended computers still logged into networks, passwords taped to monitors, and sensitive corporate data left in plain sight on desk. A recent test by the Ponemon Institute on 43 volunteer offices found that they were successful almost nine times out of ten in gaining access to sensitive corporate data simply by walking through office spaces.
