Cybersecurity engineering

process by which a man-made object is deconstructed to reveal its designs, architecture, code or to extract knowledge from the object

policies and practices adopted to prevent and monitor unauthorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of computer networks and network-accessible resources

someone who explores methods for breaching defenses and exploiting weaknesses in a computer system or network

computer protocol that allows a network user to access or provide a network service that the underlying network does not support or provide directly

principle in computer security

processor extension

counterespionage safety procedures and practices

tests intended to detect flaws in the security mechanisms of an information system to ensure it protects data and maintains functionality as intended

Footprinting (also known as reconnaissance) is the technique used for gathering information about computer systems and the entities they belong to. To get this information, a hacker might use various tools and technologies. This information is very useful to a hacker who is trying to crack a whole system.

group that provides security feedback

authenticated entity in computer security

seccomp (short for secure computing) is a computer security facility in the Linux kernel. seccomp allows a process to make a one-way transition into a "secure" state where it cannot make any system calls except exit(), sigreturn(), read() and write() to already-open file descriptors. Should it attempt any other system calls, the kernel will either just log the event or terminate the process with SIGKILL or SIGSYS. In this sense, it does not virtualize the system's resources but isolates the process from them entirely.

discipline involving hardware design, access control, secure multi-party computation, secure key storage, ensuring code authenticity, measures to ensure that the supply chain that built the product is secure

Bluetooth vulnerability, an attack vector

also called "Black Cloud", an approach to computer security

BlueHat (or Blue Hat or Blue-Hat) is a term used to refer to outside computer security consulting firms that are employed to bug test a system prior to its launch, looking for exploits so they can be closed. Their role involves searching for weaknesses or security gaps that could be exploited, and their aim is to rectify and close these potential vulnerabilities prior to a product or system launch. In particular, Microsoft uses the term to refer to the computer security professionals they invited to find the vulnerability of their products, such as Windows.
