Attacks on different layers?
How close am I by stating, computer-born cyber attacks are ultimately just attacking one of the 7 OSI layers. Now to be clear I'm not referring to outside-the-box, good ole social engineering. I'm referring to an attack that starts at a computer terminal or with an application. For example Cross-site scripting (XSS)=application layer attack (layer 7), TCP SYN Flood=transport layer attack (layer 4), SSL scripting=presentation layer attack (layer 6), or MitM (man in the middle) = session layer attack(layer 5). Or am I a total NOOB and should just go learn so more?
