(Cyber) attack are the activities undertaken to bypass or exploit deficiencies in a system's security mechanisms. [1]

By a direct attack on a system they exploit deficiencies in the underlying algorithms, principles, or properties of a security mechanism. Indirect attacks are performed when they bypass the mechanism, or when they make the system use the mechanism incorrectly.
