  What is social engineering Social engineering is the term used for a broad range of  malicious activities accomplished through human interactions . It uses psychological manipulation to trick users into making security mistakes or giving away sensitive information. Social engineering attacks happen in one or more steps. A perpetrator first investigates the intended victim to gather necessary background information, such as potential points of entry and weak security protocols, needed to proceed with the attack. Then, the  attacker  moves to gain the victim’s trust and provide stimuli for subsequent actions that break security practices, such as revealing  sensitive information or granting access to critical resources . Social engineering attack techniques Social engineering attacks come in many different forms and can be performed anywhere where human interaction is involved. The following are the five most common forms of digital social engineering assaults. Baiting As

GENERATIVE AI

  GENERATIVE AI Overview of Generative AI Technologies      Generative AI refers to a category of artificial intelligence systems designed to generate new, synthetic content based on patterns learned from existing data. Unlike traditional AI systems, which might classify or predict based on input data, generative AI creates new data that mimics or extends the characteristics of the training data it has seen. How Generative AI Works : Blogs often start with explanations of the underlying technologies such as neural networks, transformers, and diffusion models. Key Algorithms and Models : Detailed discussions on models like GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer), DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion. Applications of Generative AI Content Creation : How AI is used to generate text, images, music, and videos. Personalization : Applications in marketing and customer engagement where AI generates personalized content. Creative Indu

Steganography - Types, Techniques, Examples & Applications

  Steganography - Types, Techniques, Examples & Applications   Steganography, or the need for hidden messages, is universal since everybody has something confidential. Though it is not such a familiar word as a virus, steganography is crucial since it deals with secrecy. Hiding or withholding information in a standard, national, personal, or family interest is an age-old practice. Cryptography similarly transforms plaintext messages into a jumbled algorithm for safety before sending. The receiver changes it back into plaintext. In Greek, steganography means ‘covered writing’ or ‘disguised messages,’ and nobody knows the hidden meaning.                                       Types: Text Steganography refers to various media, including text and audio, video, and images. Almost every media form uses text. Data compression through Huffman coding results in a smaller size. Image Steganography hides a message within the image. A cover image is a particula

  WHAT IS PHISHING ATTACK? Phishing attack is a strategic method of deception used by attackers to manipulate individuals into disclosing confidential information or performing actions that compromise security. Email Phishing Attack An email phishing attack is a type of cyber attack where attackers send deceptive emails to trick recipients into divulging sensitive information or performing actions that compromise security. Here's a detailed   Definition: An email phishing attack is a fraudulent attempt by cybercriminals to deceive individuals into providing confidential information, such as login credentials, financial data, or personal details, by posing as a legitimate entity. These attacks exploit social engineering techniques and are typically carried out via email, although they can also be conducted through other communication channels   Key Characteristics: 1.       Deceptive Emails : Phishing emails are crafted to appear as though they come from a trustwort
