The majority of ransomware groups concentrate on three typical first access strategies in order to infiltrate vital web applications and infrastructure of businesses and, most likely, sell their most valuable assets. 

1. Leveraging finely customized phishing attacks

The most popular method used by threat actors to initiate ransomware assaults is phishing. Individuals and staff members at all organizational levels are the main targets of phishing attacks, even if they don't own enough sensitive data to serve as an evil hacker's point of entry into the company's network. An effective technique for teaching staff members to recognize and report cyber threats is to simulate phishing attacks. To find out how to mimic a phishing assault, view this tutorial.

Security Testing and Its types

Security testing is the process of validating the security of an organization's IT environment to identify vulnerabilities and minimize risk. It is a critical part of any software development and deployment process as it helps ensure the protection of an organization’s assets from unauthorized access, malicious activity, and data breaches.

Introduction of Compatibility Testing:

Compatibility testing is a type of non-functional testing that ensures that a software application works correctly on different hardware, software, and network configurations. It is important to perform compatibility testing to ensure that users have a positive experience with the application, regardless of their environment.

Compatibility testing can be a complex and time-consuming process, but it is essential to ensure the quality of the application. Tester may prevent cost and humiliating issues in the future by doing compatibility testing.
 

Overview of HTTP Status Codes for Software Testers

HTTP status codes are three-digit numbers that define the present status of a client's request to a server. These codes are returned by the server as a response to a client's HTTP request. HTTP status codes indicate whether the request was successful, failed, or redirected to another resource.

A request is made to the server (where the website is being hosted) each time a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is entered into the client browser. In other words, the client sends a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request to the server, and the server replies by returning an HTTP status code to the client, indicating whether the request was successful or not. The server answers when you submit the request via the HTTP protocol.
 

Alpha testing

Alpha testing is a type of software testing that involves a group of external users testing the software to ensure that any detected bugs or issues are resolved before the software is released to the public.The “alpha” in alpha testing stands for “alpha version”, which typically indicates a preliminary or incomplete version of the software. A successful alpha test will identify problems that can cause the software to crash or become unreliable when it is made available to the public. To find those problems, the team conducting the alpha usually provides detailed feedback to the software developers who created the software.

Software Testing | Security Testing

What is security testing?

Security testing is a type of software testing that identifies vulnerabilities in systems and ensures that the system's data and resources are secure from potential intruders. It ensures that the software system and application are free of threats or risks that could result in a loss. Security testing of any system is focused on identifying all potential loopholes and weaknesses in the system that could result in the loss of information or the organization's reputation.

What is Cross Browser Testing?

We've all probably noticed that some websites do not display correctly in some browsers, leading us to believe that the website is malfunctioning. However, as soon as you visit the website in a different browser, it loads without any issues. Therefore, this behaviour explains why a website is compatible with many browsers.
