However, during the duration of the video, it was apparent that most of the vulnerabilities were due to Bluetooth and wifi susceptibilities. One attack is bluesnarfing, which is derived from combining two words: &#8220;Bluetooth&#8221; and &#8220;snarfing.&#8221; Bluesnarfing is a cyber-attack that predominantly targets devices using Bluetooth technology. Despite its somewhat capricious character, bluesnarfing is anything but animated. The procedure involves acquiring unauthorized entrance to an acquaintance on a Bluetooth-enabled device. To understand the definition of bluesnarfing, one must comprehend that it takes advantage of defenselessness in the Bluetooth protocol(McAfee,23). During the presentation, we also were exposed to WIFI attacks. One WIFI vulnerability most prevalent today is an evil twin attack, a type of wireless network spoofing in which hackers construct a bogus access point that imitates&nbsp;an&nbsp;honest network. Users unknowingly join the manufactured access point, providing hackers entry to their data and login credentials (Ciarlone,2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This child and the soon-to-be young man is taking on these vulnerabilities head-on. The presentation brings these susceptibilities to light and addresses these security flaws to protect the everyday consumer. While still being humble, he informed his audience at 12 years old that if I could penetrate a network, then you had better believe a more sophisticated advisory could as well. This child&#8217;s passion is remarkable and provides more security, knowing we will have young people like him protecting our networks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This child displays cutting-edge cybersecurity skills and is a well-rounded athlete and gymnast.
