OSI Layer and Its Attacks

  The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model is a conceptual framework that standardizes the functions of a telecommunication or computing system into seven abstraction layers. Each layer serves a specific purpose and interacts with adjacent layers to ensure data is transmitted reliably and efficiently across a network.  Disclaimer: For educational Purposes Only. Security vulnerabilities can exist at various layers of the OSI model. By thoroughly testing each layer, developers can identify security weaknesses and implement appropriate security measures to protect against threats such as unauthorized access, data breaches, and denial-of-service attacks. Certainly! Here's an explanation of various attacks that can occur on each layer of the OSI model: 1. Physical Layer: Eavesdropping/Tapping: Unauthorized individuals intercept and listen to data being transmitted over the physical medium, such as cables or wireless signals. Physical Tampering: Attackers physically access network
