    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_of_death

    Ping of death. A ping of death is a type of attack on a computer system that involves sending a malformed or otherwise malicious ping to a computer. [1] In this attack, a host sends hundreds of ping requests with a packet size that is large or illegal to another host to try to take it offline or to keep it preoccupied responding with ICMP Echo ...

  4. MD5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5

    The MD5 message-digest algorithm is a widely used hash function producing a 128- bit hash value. MD5 was designed by Ronald Rivest in 1991 to replace an earlier hash function MD4, [3] and was specified in 1992 as RFC 1321. MD5 can be used as a checksum to verify data integrity against unintentional corruption. Historically it was widely used as ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1

    The first public collision was published on 23 February 2017. [2] SHA-1 is prone to length extension attacks. In cryptography, SHA-1 ( Secure Hash Algorithm 1) is a hash function which takes an input and produces a 160- bit (20- byte) hash value known as a message digest – typically rendered as 40 hexadecimal digits.

    The EICAR Anti-Virus Test File [1] or EICAR test file is a computer file that was developed by the European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research (EICAR) and Computer Antivirus Research Organization (CARO) to test the response of computer antivirus (AV) programs. [2] Instead of using real malware, which could cause real damage, this test ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function

    t. e. A cryptographic hash function ( CHF) is a hash algorithm (a map of an arbitrary binary string to a binary string with a fixed size of bits) that has special properties desirable for a cryptographic application: [1] the probability of a particular. n {\displaystyle n} -bit output result ( hash value) for a random input string ("message") is.

  8. Zip bomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_bomb

    Zip bomb. In computing, a zip bomb, also known as a decompression bomb or zip of death (ZOD), is a malicious archive file designed to crash or render useless the program or system reading it. It is often employed to disable antivirus software, in order to create an opening for more traditional malware. [1]

  9. Fileless malware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fileless_malware

    Fileless malware is a variant of computer related malicious software that exists exclusively as a computer memory-based artifact i.e. in RAM.It does not write any part of its activity to the computer's hard drive, thus increasing its ability to evade antivirus software that incorporate file-based whitelisting, signature detection, hardware verification, pattern-analysis, time-stamping, etc ...
