Weakness in configuration

These are some common errors that network administrators make while configuring the network device:

  • Unfastened user accounts: Attackers use several snooping tools to snoop the username and passwords exposed insecurely
  • Passwords and system accounts: If administrators use easily guessed passwords without any special characters, hackers may also use this to exploit the network
  • Misconfiguration in internet services: If JavaScript is turned on in web browsers, attackers can run an attack on the system
  • Misconfiguration in network equipment: Configuration mistakes while configuring an access list, routing protocols, and firewall rules, and a lack of encryption can cause vulnerability
