4) Man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks: MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts communications between two parties and can eavesdrop or manipulate the messages being sent.

5) SQL Injection: SQL injection is a technique where attackers inject malicious code into a website or application, allowing them to access and manipulate data stored in databases.

6) Password attacks: Password attacks involve attempting to gain access to a system or account by guessing or cracking passwords.
