Explanation
A local exploit is a type of attack that normally requires the perpetrator to have some level of prior access to the target system.
Common mistakes.
- B. Denial of service (DoS) attacks aim to make a service unavailable and typically do not require prior access to the target system for the initial attack vector.
- C. A system vulnerability is a flaw in the system that can be exploited, not the exploit itself, and doesn't inherently define the access requirement.
- D. A remote exploit is executed over a network against a target system without requiring prior direct access to that system.
