Describe cyber attacks that could affect a computer system or network : Network Attack Vectors

This video tutorial explores the various vectors and methods used in network attacks. It covers how hackers detect vulnerabilities, the potential damage they can cause, and the three main vectors of network attacks: unprotected ports, outdated software, and human error. The video also discusses why networks are frequent targets and concludes with a preview of the next tutorial on hidden scanning ports using the North Map scanner.
