Reported Incidents based on General Incident Classification Statistics 2012

It is in which attempts made for unauthorized access to a system with the purpose of simply to test the security of the network, use the facility as a launching pad for further attacks on other systems, to modify information or to steal information, etc.
Problem:
Intrusion is committed by gaining initial access to a particular host by discovering a password for a user account on the system. The intruders will then attempt to become root on the compromised system. Intruders are actually committing the following activities:
-
Sniffer Attacks - capturing data as it traverses the net
-
E-mail attacks - gaining system access through vulnerabilities in network service software
-
Network File System attacks - gaining data access through vulnerabilities in operating system software
-
Network Infrastructure attacks - denial of service through attacks on routers and name servers, i.e. for purpose of impersonating the server
-
IP spoofing attacks - gaining system access by tunneling through firewalls
-
WWW threats - gaining users or system information through the web or cgi programs.
