And … Continue reading Quantum Computing and Cybersecurity: How Companies Can Prepare for the Quantum Wave
What is Pass-the-Hash? Pass-the-hash (PtH) is an attack technique that allows an attacker to authenticate to a remote system using the password hash, without the need for the password in plain text. It is particularly effective in Windows environments, where the NTLM authentication protocol allows authentication using static hashes. How the attack works Initial access … Continue reading Pass-the-Hash (PtH): Attack Technique and Complete Defenses
