Elasticsearch is a distributed, open source search and analytics engine for all types of data, including textual, numerical, geospatial, structured, and unstructured.

Elasticsearch is built on Apache Lucene and was first released in 2010 by Elasticsearch N.V. (now known as Elastic). It is known for its simple REST APIs, distributed nature, speed, and scalability.

But it is not what your eyes are seeing…

I am sure that you would remember that a hash function takes an entry, for example, a number, phrase, file or password and calculates a sequence from it, usually represented in hexadecimal format.

Evil Twin Attack is attack is frequently carried upon wireless access points with malicious intentions.

This attack happens when attackers exploits a fundamental issue with Wi-Fi, i.e., our Laptops, smartphones, and connected devices aren't equipped to distinguish between two radios broadcasting the same SSID name. This allows hackers to use malicious access points (APs) that eavesdrop on traffic, establish "man-in-the-middle" (MitM) positions, and extract sensitive information, often without leaving any traces behind.

In 2019 alone, over $124 billion was spent on cybersecurity. In spite of this, however, many security teams are still struggling to keep up. Their challenges include having too many consoles to monitor, alert overload, a reliance on manual processes, and a shortage of cybersecurity personnel.

Though people may call it Vulnerability Scanning, but it for more than scanning. Because it must account for full-fledged 'assessment' of vulnerabilities in itself.

Pivoting refers to the distinctive practice of using an instance, which is also called a ‘foothold’ or plant to make it possible for you to move around within the compromised network. This process involves accessing networks that you would normally not have access to by exploiting compromised computers.

Access attacks require some sort of intrusion capability. These can consist of anything as simple as gaining an account holder’s credentials to plugging foreign hardware directly into the network infrastructure. They usually happen when Reconnaissance Attacks have already performed by the hacker/attacker.

Cryptography is the science of writing in secret code and is an ancient art; the first documented use of cryptography in writing dates back to circa 1900 B.C. when an Egyptian scribe used nonstandard hieroglyphs in an inscription. Some experts argue that cryptography appeared spontaneously sometime after writing was invented, with applications ranging from diplomatic missives to wartime battle plans.

What is Network Traffic Analysis (NTA)?

Network Traffic Analysis is about analyzing all the entities or devices that make up your network--whether they are managed or unmanaged. Here you collect or ingest all the telemetry and/or flow records (like NetFlow) from multiple network devices like routers, switches, and firewalls and determine what "normal" behavior for these devices looks like and how parts of your network are being accessed and by whom.

Server-side request forgery (also known as SSRF) is a web security vulnerability that allows an attacker to induce the server-side application to make HTTP requests to an arbitrary domain of the attacker's choosing.
