💡 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use tools like Nuclei, Nikto, and ZAP to test thousands of hosts per hour, looking for exposed configuration files, outdated software, and default credentials.
💡 Hacktivism and Ideological Attacks
Hacktivism combines hacking skills with political or social motivations. DDoS campaigns, website defacements, and data leaks target organizations based on ideological disagreements, adding unpredictable threat actors to the landscape.
