Glossary of cybersecurity able to communicate information about themselves connecting to other objects and users. The objective is to ensure that the Internet traces a map of the real world, giving an electronic identity to things and places in the physical environment. The potential applications of the IoT are multiple: from the industrial applications (productive processes), to logistics and info mobility, up to the energetic efficiency, remote assistance and environment protection. to access a false website. The phisher uses the data it gets to acquire goods, transfer money or only as a “bridge” for further attacks. Reverse engineering An analysis designed to understand the functioning of hardware and software products in order to reengineer them, for example, to enhance their functions or in order to use them for different and further aims with respect to the original ones.
