Protecting yourself from a hybrid attack It's not difficult to predict that you, like so many other people, are going to use a year in your password, and neither is the fact that you'll place it either at the end or in the beginning. The same goes for capitalizing the first letter of your password or putting an exclamation mark at the end. If your password is to be resistant to a hybrid attack, it needs to be random. You have to make sure that cybercrooks can't guess what it consists of. In fact, ideally, even you shouldn’t know what your password consists of.

I used Javascript to make sure the form is being filled out with proper info in the name, address, e-mail, etc before submitting the form.

Javascript uses Plaintext so this is a very big risk for data integrity.

All other answers don't make sense. Antivirus not necessary, host based firewall unnecessary too and race conditions are caused by poor programming... I sit my sec+ next week. Any pointers?

Close, if it’s using js to validate, it means it’s probably validating on the client side, not server side
