Abstract

“ Software vulnerabilities are one of those problems that potentially affect all users. A vulnerability is a fault in a program’s implementation that can be used by attackers to gain unauthorized access to data, inject malicious code or put a system out of operation. In most cases, vulnerabilities arise from a lack of attention to fine details at the design stage rather than programming errors. Sometimes a system can seem virtually invulnerable at the design stage, but then, at some point, a new technology arises and hackers prove that the system can be successfully attacked. A notable example is DES – a symmetric-key encryption algorithm developed in 1975, which was considered bulletproof at the time. However, in 1990 it was successfully broken in 39 days using an enormous computer network. A supercomputer built in 1998 succeeded in breaking DES in less than three days.
