       “Information security is one of the few spots in the business where you can be involved in almost every part of the business.”

      Here’s a recap of week 19:

      Day 90: Attackers exploit weaknesses in the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection three-way handshake, which is the communication process between the client, the host, and the server.
