This page is dedicated to terms starting with the letter X related to cybersecurity and IT.
From XOR encryption to XML Injection and XSS, this page provides definitions and explanations for various X-related cybersecurity terms.
X.509 Certificate
An X.509 certificate is a digital document that uses a standard format to verify the identity of a user, device, or organization.
It is used for authentication and encryption purposes in various online transactions and communications.
Xen Hypervisor
Xen Hypervisor is an open-source software that allows multiple operating systems to run on a single host machine.
It creates a virtual machine environment that isolates each operating system and provides them with dedicated resources, making it an efficient solution for virtualization.
XSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery)
XSRF, also known as Cross-Site Request Forgery, is a type of cyber attack in which an attacker exploits a website’s trust in a user’s identity to perform unauthorized actions on their behalf.
It is a serious security threat that can compromise user accounts and sensitive information.
XML External Entity (XXE)
XML External Entity (XXE) is a vulnerability that occurs when an XML parser processes external entities within an XML document.
Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to execute malicious code and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.
XML Injection
XML Injection is a type of cyber attack in which an attacker injects malicious code into an XML input field, which can then be executed by the application that processes the input.
This can result in unauthorized access to sensitive data, system compromise, and other security breaches.
XOR Encryption
XOR Encryption is a simple encryption technique that uses the XOR (exclusive OR) operation to encrypt and decrypt data.
It is commonly used in computer security as a basic encryption method.
XSS (Cross-Site Scripting)
XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) is a type of cyber attack in which an attacker injects malicious code into a web page viewed by other users.
The code is then executed by the user’s web browser, allowing the attacker to steal sensitive information, perform unauthorized actions, or spread malware.
