Client-Side Attack Vectors 客户端攻击向量
What are Attack Vectors? 什么是攻击向量？
● In the context of penetration testing, an attack vector refers to a path or method used by an attacker to exploit vulnerabilities or weaknesses in a system, network, or application.
● Attack vectors are the specific avenues through which an attacker gains unauthorized access, achieves malicious objectives, or compromises the security of a target environment.
● Penetration testers simulate these attack vectors to identify and assess vulnerabilities, measure the effectiveness of security controls, and provide recommendations for improving an organization’s overall security posture.
● 在渗透测试的背景中，攻击向量指的是攻击者用来利用系统、网络或应用程序中的漏洞或弱点的路径或方法。
● 攻击向量是攻击者获得未授权访问、实现恶意目标或破坏目标环境安全的具体途径。
● 渗透测试人员模拟这些攻击向量，以识别和评估漏洞，衡量安全控制的有效性，并为改善组织的整体安全状况提供建议。
Client-Side Attack Vectors 客户端攻击向量
● Here are some of the most common and effective client-side attack vectors used for initial access by attackers or penetration testers:
Social Engineering:
- Phishing Emails: Deceptive emails with malicious attachments or links to trick users into clicking or downloading malware.
- Social Media Engineering: Creating fake profiles to connect with users and deceive them into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected content.
- Pretexting, Baiting, Tailgating: Various tactics used to manipulate users into divulging sensitive information or performing actions that facilitate the attack.
以下是一些攻击者或渗透测试人员用于初始访问的最常见且有效的客户端攻击向量：
社会工程：
- 钓鱼电子邮件：带有恶意附件或链接的欺骗性电子邮件，用来诱使用户点击或下载恶意软件。
- 社交媒体工程：创建假冒个人资料以与用户建立联系，并诱使他们点击恶意链接或下载被感染的内容。
- 借口设置、诱饵、尾随：各种策略，用于操纵用户泄露敏感信息或执行促进攻击的行为。
Malicious Documents/Payloads:
- Crafted documents (e.g., Microsoft Office files, PDFs) with embedded macros, scripts, or exploits that execute malicious code upon opening.
Drive-by Downloads:
- Hosting malicious content or exploit kits on compromised or malicious websites to automatically download and execute malware when users visit the site.
Watering Hole Attacks:
- Compromising websites frequented by the target audience and injecting malicious code or links to infect visitors’ systems.
恶意文档/有效载荷：
- 设计的文档（例如，Microsoft Office文件、PDF）含有嵌入的宏、脚本或漏洞，打开时执行恶意代码。
驱动下载：
- 在被攻击或恶意网站上托管恶意内容或利用工具包，当用户访问网站时自动下载并执行恶意软件。
水坑攻击：
- 攻击目标受众常访问的网站，并注入恶意代码或链接，以感染访问者的系统。
USB-based Attacks:
- Distributing malware-infected USB drives or devices in public spaces or targeted environments to automatically execute malware when users plug them into their computers.
Exploit Kits:
- Using automated kits to target vulnerabilities in web browsers, plugins, or other client-side software, streamlining the process of delivering and executing malicious payloads.
基于USB的攻击：
- 在公共场所或目标环境分发感染了恶意软件的USB驱动器或设备，当用户将它们插入电脑时自动执行恶意软件。
利用工具包：
- 使用自动化工具包针对网络浏览器、插件或其他客户端软件的漏洞，简化传递和执行恶意有效载荷的过程。
Browser Exploitation:
- Exploiting vulnerabilities in web browsers or their components (e.g., plugins, extensions) to execute arbitrary code or perform actions on the victim’s system.
浏览器利用：
- 利用网络浏览器或其组件（例如，插件、扩展）中的漏洞来执行任意代码或在受害者系统上执行操作。
