The Network Battlefield
Networks face constant technical attacks. Brute force is like trying every key on a keyring until one opens the door - systematic password guessing. DDoS is like a thousand people blocking a shop entrance so real customers can't get in. SQL injection is like whispering malicious instructions to a shop assistant that make them empty the till. Man-in-the-middle is like intercepting and reading someone's letters before resealing them. Attackers are creative and relentless!

Technical attacks (also called network threats or cyber attacks) exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks, or software. Unlike social engineering which targets humans, these attacks target technical weaknesses in systems.
