What is Domain Generation Algorithms (DGA): Hiding in Noise?

A Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) is a technique used by malware to periodically generate a large number of domain names that can serve as Command and Control (C2) rendezvous points. Instead of hardcoding a single domain (which can be easily blocked), the malware generates 1,000 domains a day, but only registers one.

What is Supply Chain Attacks: Compromising the Trust?

A Supply Chain Attack occurs when an adversary infiltrates a system through an outside partner or provider with access to the systems and data. This dramatically alters the risk profile because the attack vector is a trusted channel (e.g., a software update or a third-party library) rather than a direct exploit of the victim's perimeter.
