NO PICTURE; SORRY
Vulnerabilities are the tricks-of-the-trade for hackers, giving an intruder the ability to heighten one’s access by exploiting a flawed piece of logic inside the code of a computer. Like the hackers that seek them out, vulnerabilities are usually quite mysterious and hard to prove they even exist. Many people whom are introduced to vulnerabilities for the first time are confused or disturbed at what they see – undocumented source code, usually performing a series of tasks which don’t make a considerable amount of sense to the uninformed. Rightly so, because many vulnerabilities may exist in unfamiliar environments or using unfamiliar techniques.
As security experts get acquainted with vulnerabilities and how they are exploited, the methods of exploitation appear random and chaotic – each and every one with seemingly unpredictable results. It has been theorized that this comes from the fact that bugs are mistakes, and does not follow the course of intelligent reason. However, vulnerabilities can be categorized in ways that make more sense to the person investigating the problems at hand.
