The attack can be carried out on today's most secure systems- browsers, including Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. There are too many types, methods and mechanisms of attack where new attack techniques and exploits are constantly being developed and discovered. In this paper, various types of internet security attack mechanisms are explored and it is pointed out that when different types of attacks are combined together, network security can suffer disastrous consequences.}, journal = {International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences}, volume = {2}, number = {8}, year = {2008}, pages = {934 - 936}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/221}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/20}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 20, 2008}, }
