Common Network Faults: Network Management

            According to Clemm (2006), network management is defined as those activities, methods, procedures and tools used in operating, administering and maintaining the entire networked system. The two most common network faults are playback attacks and unauthorized access.

1.  Playback attack – a thief observes, investigates and replays a prior transmitted message (Jurgen, 1999). As the term implies, the attackers record or keep a communication, then play it back afterwards (Zwicky and Cooper, 2000).

2.  Unauthorized Access – the attacker, who is not authorized to access the network, retrieve data or information within.
