Let me interrupt you

- [Adam] You know when there are so many interruptions that you can't get anything done? Yeah, I know how you feel. When it's just you being demanding of your computer, we call that time for an upgrade. And when it's an attacker, we call it a denial of service. In this course, we'll cover both denial of service and elevation of privilege. Looking at denial of service attacks, we'll talk about how they fill memory or networks, how they use up resources like CPU, budget, or battery. Looking at elevation of privilege, we'll see how it includes not only SQL injection and cross-site scripting, but also failure to require authorization, like a hidden admin control panel. And you'll learn how to defend your systems against these attacks.
