Question

match the type of vulnerability to its definition. sql injection cross-site scripting man-in-the-browser attack brute force attack man-in-the-middle attack attackers inject malicious activity by targeting client-side scripts attackers run sql statements to manipulate information on servers attackers attempt to guess the password of an account attackers intercept a data transmission between two devices attackers send a script to a website and obtain privileges to modify webpages

Explanation:

To solve this matching problem, we analyze each vulnerability and its corresponding definition:

1. SQL injection

Definition: Attackers run SQL statements to manipulate information on servers (SQL injection involves injecting SQL code to interact with databases on servers).

2. Cross - site scripting

Definition: Attackers send a script to a website and obtain privileges to modify webpages (Cross - site scripting (XSS) is about injecting scripts into web pages to gain access for modification).

3. Man - in - the - browser attack

Definition: Attackers inject malicious activity by targeting client - side scripts (Man - in - the - browser attacks focus on client - side scripts in the browser environment).

4. Brute force attack

Definition: Attackers attempt to guess the password of an account (Brute force attacks involve trying multiple combinations to guess passwords).

5. Man - in - the - middle attack

Definition: Attackers intercept a data transmission between two devices (Man - in - the - middle attacks are about intercepting data as it travels between two endpoints).

Answer:

• SQL injection: Attackers run SQL statements to manipulate information on servers
• Cross - site scripting: Attackers send a script to a website and obtain privileges to modify webpages
• Man - in - the - browser attack: Attackers inject malicious activity by targeting client - side scripts
• Brute force attack: Attackers attempt to guess the password of an account
• Man - in - the - middle attack: Attackers intercept a data transmission between two devices
