1. SQL Injection:
Injecting malicious SQL code into the entry field for hacking database-driven websites or websites that use dynamic SQL.

2. Malware attacks:
Hackers install malicious software on the victim’s system without consent in this cyberattack.

3. Phishing and Spear Phishing:
Hackers send malicious emails that appear to be from genuine sources to gain personal information or influence victims to do something via these emails.

4. Man-in-the-middle attack :
Perpetrator intercepts the communication between client and server to either eavesdrop or impersonate someone.

5. Denial of Service attack :
Perpetrator shuts down the victim’s system or network to make it inaccessible to its intended users.

6. Distributed Denial of Service :
Hackers flood the organization’s servers or networks with fake or bot users to crash the system’s normal functioning and interrupt the communication channel.

7. Password attack:
It is one of the most common types of cyberattacks where attackers use a mechanism to steal passwords by either looking around the person’s desk or using the sniffing technique.

8. Botnet:
It is a collection of malware-infected internet-connected devices that remains under the control of a single attacking party known as bot herders. It allows attackers to steal credentials saved on devices and gives them unauthorized access, leading to data theft and DDoS attacks.

9. IP Spoofing:
Attacker modifies the IP address in the packet header. The receiving computer system thinks it is from a legitimate or trusted source.

10. Session hijacking:
Attacker hijacks the user session. It usually starts when a user logs in to the application and ends when they log out.
