An exploit is a piece of code or a technique used by attackers to take advantage of a vulnerability in software or hardware, allowing them to execute unauthorized actions on a system.
• Used by attackers to gain control of systems, steal data, or escalate privileges.• Employed in penetration testing to assess the security of a system by exploiting known vulnerabilities.
A vulnerability is a weakness in a system, while an exploit is the actual method or code used to take advantage of that weakness.
Attackers use exploits to execute malicious code, steal data, or gain control of a system by taking advantage of unpatched vulnerabilities.
Organizations can protect against exploits by regularly patching vulnerabilities, conducting security assessments, and using exploit mitigation technologies.
