Information Security

DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks overwhelm a website with traffic from multiple sources, making it unavailable to legitimate users. 'Botting' is not a standard security term, 'unlimited pings' isn't a recognized attack type, and 'Echo attack' isn't a standard attack category. The question has grammatical issues ('attackes' typo) but the correct answer is clear.

Online banking systems use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or its successor TLS to encrypt communication between your browser and the bank's servers. This prevents attackers from intercepting sensitive information like passwords and account details. MD5 and MD5-RSA are hash algorithms, not encryption techniques. AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm but not the primary method used for secure web connections.

A honeypot is a cybersecurity mechanism designed to detect, deflect, and counteract attempts at unauthorized use of information systems. It appears as a tempting target (like fake data or vulnerable systems) to lure attackers, allowing security teams to study their methods and protect real systems.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and its successor TLS are the standard encryption protocols used for secure online banking transactions. SSL/TLS creates an encrypted channel between your browser and the bank's server, protecting sensitive data like passwords and account details during transmission. MD5 is a hash function, not encryption, and while AES is also used in cryptography, SSL is the protocol layer specifically used for netbanking security.

DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks overwhelm a website with traffic from multiple sources, making it unavailable to legitimate users. This is the only option listed that is a recognized attack type specifically designed to take down websites. 'Echo attack' and 'Botting' are not standard security terms, and 'Unlimited pings' describes a technique but isn't the formal attack category name.

A honeypot is a decoy system designed to attract potential attackers, detect their attempts, and study their behavior. It appears as a legitimate target but actually traps cyber criminals by diverting them from real systems. It's not used for hacking, storing data, or downloading content.

A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack floods a website with massive traffic from multiple sources, overwhelming its resources and taking it offline. The term 'DDOS' is the correct answer, though 'unlimited pings' describes a similar concept in simpler terms.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and its successor TLS are the encryption protocols used to secure online banking transactions. SSL/TLS creates an encrypted channel between the browser and the banking server, protecting sensitive data. MD5 is a hash function, not encryption. MD5-RSA isn't a standard encryption scheme name. AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm but SSL/TLS is the protocol used for securing the connection.

DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks can take down a website by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources, exhausting server resources and making the site unavailable. The other options are not standard attack terminology: 'Echo attack' and 'Unlimited pings' are not recognized attack types, and 'Botting' is vague gaming terminology.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and its successor TLS (Transport Layer Security) are used to encrypt netbanking traffic. MD5 is a hash function, not encryption. 'MD5-RSA' is not a standard term. AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm but is used within SSL/TLS, not as the primary protocol. Banking sites use HTTPS, which relies on SSL/TLS.

In cybersecurity, a honeypot is a decoy system designed to mimic a likely target of a cyberattack. It is used to lure, detect, and study the methods of hackers. It is not a tool for hacking, a safe data deposit, or a general download site.

A cryptograph is a machine or device used for encoding and decoding secret messages - essentially early cryptographic technology. It is not the encoded message itself, writing hidden in a crypt, or a picture. Cryptographs were mechanical or electrical devices used before modern digital encryption.

SSL was developed by Netscape Communications Corporation in 1994 to ensure secure transactions on the web. It became the standard for encrypted web communication before being succeeded by TLS.

Mishing (SMS phishing or voice phishing) is a fraud technique where scammers use mobile phone calls or text messages instead of emails to trick victims into revealing confidential information. The 'm' comes from mobile/SMS, distinguishing it from email-based phishing. The tactics are similar: creating urgency and impersonating legitimate entities.
