Pass-the-Hash-Attack
Pass-the-Hash-Attack is a type of cyber attack that happens when a hacker uses a special technique to steal someone’s login credentials on a Windows computer. This technique involves stealing the “hashed” version of a user’s password, which is like a scrambled version of their original password.
The hacker then uses this scrambled password to gain access to the targeted computer or network, without having to know the original password. This can allow them to access sensitive information or even take control of the entire network.
To protect against Pass-the-Hash attacks, it is important to use strong passwords, enable multifactor authentication, and regularly update security software. Also, it is important to monitor activity within the network to detect any potential breaches or suspicious activities.
