Abstract

In this paper is made a sophisticated taxonomy of the malicious cyber attacks. The cyber attacks are summarized into several mainly types with additional subtypes for everyone attack. Thanks to the achieved comparative results in this paper many users can find and analyze different flaws and vulnerabilities in their computer and network systems and thereby they could detect and prevent future malicious cyber attacks.
