本文介绍了攻击载体的概念及其如何被黑客利用来获取对计算机或网络服务器的非法访问权限。攻击载体包括病毒、电子邮件附件、网页等手段，这些手段可以用来传递恶意载荷或利用系统漏洞。虽然防火墙和防病毒软件能在一定程度上阻止攻击载体，但没有任何保护措施能够完全防止攻击。
- An attack vector is a path or means by which a hacker (or cracker ) can gain access to a computer or network server in order to deliver a payload or malicious outcome. Attack vectors enable hackers to exploit system vulnerabilities, including the human element.
Attack vectors include viruses, e-mail attachments, Web pages, pop-up windows, instant messages, chat rooms, and deception. All of these methods involve programming (or, in a few cases, hardware), except deception, in which a human operator is fooled into removing or weakening system defenses.
To some extent, firewall s and anti-virus software can block attack vectors. But no protection method is totally attack-proof. A defense method that is effective today may not remain so for long, because hackers are constantly updating attack vectors, and seeking new ones, in their quest to gain unauthorized access to computers and servers.
The most common malicious payloads are virus es (which can function as their own attack vectors), Trojan horse s, worm s, and spyware . If an attack vector is thought of as a guided missile, its payload can be compared to the warhead in the tip of the missile.
