23. A security tool designed to protect a system or network against attacks by comparing traffic patterns against a list of both known attack signatures and general characteristics of how attacks may be carried out. Threats are rated and protective measu






24. White box test






25. An attacker who breaks into computer systems with malicious intent - without the owner's knowledge or permission.
