OS Command Injection Attack
An OS command injection attack is a type of cyber attack that can happen when a hacker tricks a computer program into running commands it should not. This can happen when the program takes in information from outside sources (like a website), and the hacker sneaks in a harmful command.
It’s like if someone slipped a bad ingredient into your favorite meal without you noticing. The bad ingredient could make you sick, just like the bad command can harm your computer or steal your information.
To protect against OS command injection attacks, developers need to be careful when writing their programs. They need to make sure that any information coming in from outside sources is properly checked before the program runs it. Just like how you need to check your food for bad ingredients before you eat it.
If you ever think your computer might be under attack, it’s important to call in an expert to help you out. Just like how you would call a doctor if you ever got sick from bad food.
