Explain the communication processes on a machine and across networks.

Explanation should include

  • inter-process communication (IPC)
  • specific subsets of programs vulnerable to attack (e.g., browsers, web daemons)
  • methods of attack (e.g., man-in-the-middle, address resolution protocol [ARP] poisoning, domain name system [DNS] hijacking).

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What types of networks are unique to AFNR?
  • How might a network in a food and agriculture setting differ from a standard office network?
  • How could a man-in-the-middle attack threaten secure communications on a network?
