The National Vulnerability Database is the US government's CVE repository — here's how to search it, read its CVSS scores, and use it in a real workflow.
A reference list of all malware types by how they spread and what they do — worms, trojans, ransomware, rootkits, and the rest — because knowing the category tells you what defense actually stops it.
What makes an encryption algorithm symmetric is a single shared key for both encryption and decryption; asymmetric algorithms use a mathematically linked public/private key pair instead — and the difference decides which one you should reach for.
CWE stands for Common Weakness Enumeration — a community-maintained taxonomy of software and hardware weakness types that CVEs, SAST tools, and OWASP guidance all reference back to.
