💡 Vulnerability Scanning Explained
Vulnerability scanning is the automated process of probing web applications for known weaknesses. Attackers use tools like Nuclei, Nikto, and ZAP to test thousands of hosts per hour, looking for exposed configuration files, outdated software, and default credentials.
💡 State-Sponsored Cyber Operations
Nation-state actors conduct sophisticated campaigns for espionage, sabotage, and influence operations. Their resources exceed typical criminal organizations, enabling zero-day exploitation, long-term persistent access, and attacks on critical infrastructure.
