Individuals wishing to attack a companys network have found a new path of least resistance-the end user. A client- side attack is one that uses the inexperience of the end user to create a foothold in the users machine and therefore the network. Client-side attacks are everywhere and hidden in plain sight. Common hiding places are malicious Web sites and spam. A simple click of a link will allow the attacker to enter. This book presents a framework for defending your network against these attacks in an environment where it might seem impossible.The most current attacks are discussed along with their delivery methods, such as browser exploitation, use of rich Internet applications, and file format vulnerabilities. The severity of these attacks is examined along with defences against them, including antivirus and anti-spyware, intrusion detection systems, and end-userDesign and implement your own attack, and test methodologies derived from the approach and framework presented by the authorsLearn how to strengthen your networks host- and network-based defense against attackers number one remote exploit-the client-side attackDefend your network against attacks that target your companys most vulnerable asset-the end user

Client-Side Attacks Defined
Information in this chapter:

Picture 4Client-Side Attacks: An Overview

Picture 5Types of Client-Side Attacks

One of the bigger threats that users will face today is client-side attacks that expose the vulnerability of the end user and his or her system. Over the last five years the amount of client-side attacks has increased dramatically leading to a statement by the SANS Institute that this type of attack represents historically one of the most critical Internet security vulnerabilities in existence.

In the past attackers wishing to cause harm, damage, or expose sensitive data would generally go after the servers themselves using a class of attacks known collectively as server-side attacks. These attacks were successful because in the past, the servers themselves were not as well defended as they are today. With new security advances, methodologies and processes, this is no longer the case. The server-side attack is now severely limited by security professionals putting an enhanced focus on edge security, securing the network and vendors of products writing and producing better products for safeguarding key systems. Because the attack vector has been protected, hackers and attackers had to find a new route in.

Since the server-side (and in adversely the network-side) became the focus and were better protected, the applications used on the servers and the systems in which use the applications became the new target. In sum, applications that exist on the server-side and the vulnerabilities associated with them are better understood and defended, so attackers have shifted their focus to the desktop environment and the weaknesses found there.
