    <p1 p style="color:#ff0000f2"><br><i><mark>Active: </mark></i>Active cyber
    attacks interrupt or alter normal system operations. Though it is possible to
    maintain stealth, these attacks can often be disruptive, with the victim
    becoming aware of the breach during or shortly after the attack is complete.
    They also typically have more destructive goals, like locking users out,
    deleting data, or leaching power. Examples include ransomware, DOS attacks, or
    cryptojacking. </p1p><br>
    <p2 p style="color:blue"><br><mark><b>Passive:</b></mark> <strong>Passive
    cyber attacks tend not to affect system resources. Their intent is to gather
    intelligence, which can often go unnoticed by victims. Once access is gained,
    passive attacks monitor systems and find sensitive information. This data can
    be collected through various means, including copying files, or eavesdropping
    on and recording communications through methods like keystroke
    logging.</p2p><br>
    <p3 p style="color:orchid"><br><mark><strong>What Was the
    Engagement?<br></mark>We were tasked with completing an internal penetration
    test on a large, multi-national manufacturer. </p3p><br>
    <p4 p style="color:orange"><br><i><mark>Virus:</mark></i>Just like its
    biological namesake, a computer virus infects a computer system by replicating
    itself without user permission, inserting its own code into preexisting
    programs. In order to spread to other systems, the virus must be attached to a
    file or executable program, and only infects a system when opened. This
    typically causes various amounts of damage, from impeding work through
    annoying popups to causing a complete system crash </p4p><br>
    <p5 p style="color:green"><br><mark><b>Worm:</b></mark>Similar to a virus, a
    worm can replicate itself on a computer system and cause varying levels of
    damage. Unlike a virus, a worm is a standalone program, and does not need to
    be attached to a file and opened to spread. A worm exploits vulnerabilities in
    a system, and uses network connections to infect other systems with similar
    weaknesses. </p5p><br>
    <p6 p
    style="color:yellowgreen"><br><mark>Ransomware:<strong></strong></mark>Ransomw
    are is software that holds data hostage, with the threat to publish it or
    destroy it unless a ransom is paid. Unfortunately, even if organizations pay,
    they’re not guaranteed to get their data back, and giving into demands only
    encourages a repeat attack. </p6p><br>
    <p7 p style="color:yellow"><br><mark><i>Cryptomining
    Malware:</i></mark>Cryptomining malware infects a computer system like a
    parasite, sucking the processing power to use it to mine for cryptocurrency.
    This allows cryptominers to mine more transactions faster, turning a way to
    make a couple extra bucks into a major payout. Unfortunately, it leaves the
    victims with painfully slow systems, or ones that end up crashing altogether.
    When it comes to cryptojacking, the more power, the better. Consequently,
    organizations with multiple computers and servers make perfect
    targets.</p7p><br>
