What type of attack involves an adversary intentionally causing a system to revert to a less secure state or protocol to exploit the vulnerabilities associated with it?
Buffer overflow
Replay attack
Downgrade attack
Phishing
A Downgrade attack is characterized by an attacker forcing a system to use a less secure protocol or state, thereby creating opportunities to exploit known vulnerabilities of the older systems or protocols. This makes the attack successful as the older versions generally lack the security features and protections found in newer versions. The incorrect options do not define an attack where the system is forced to use less secure protocols.
