Description: Traffic injection is the act of introducing malicious traffic into a network with the aim of assessing and testing its defenses. This process is fundamental in the field of penetration testing, where security experts simulate attacks to identify vulnerabilities in systems and networks. Traffic injection can include generating data packets that mimic the behavior of a real attack, allowing security professionals to observe how systems respond to adverse situations. This approach not only helps detect weaknesses but also provides valuable information about the effectiveness of implemented security measures. Through traffic injection, aspects such as firewall response capability, intrusion detection, and the overall resilience of network infrastructure can be evaluated. In a world where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, traffic injection has become an essential tool for ensuring the integrity and security of computer systems.
