What is Attack Vector?

An attack vector is a path or means by which a hacker can gain access to a computer or network server in order to launch an attack.




Attack vectors can include malicious code hidden in an email attachment, a Trojan horse program installed on a user's computer, or a vulnerability in a network service that can be exploited.


Attack vectors can also include social engineering techniques such as phishing, in which a user is tricked into revealing sensitive information such as login credentials or credit card numbers.


Attack vectors can be used to launch a variety of different attacks, including denial of service attacks, malware infections, and data theft.


It is important to secure all possible attack vectors in order to protect against hacker attacks.
