6G Network Attack Vectors
Comprehensive analysis of emerging attack surfaces and vulnerabilities in next-generation telecommunications networks, including network slicing and edge computing threats
Network Slicing Attack Vectors
Network slicing introduces new attack surfaces that can compromise critical infrastructure and enable sophisticated attacks against telecom operators and their customers.
Slice Isolation Bypass
Attackers attempt to bypass network slice isolation mechanisms
Exploit vulnerabilities in slice management to gain unauthorized access to other network slices, potentially compromising critical infrastructure and sensitive communications.
Resource Exhaustion
Denial of service attacks targeting slice resources
Overwhelm network slice resources through coordinated attacks, causing service degradation and potential complete service outages for critical infrastructure slices.
Slice Configuration Manipulation
Unauthorized modification of slice configurations
Manipulate slice parameters, QoS settings, and security policies to create backdoors or weaken security measures, enabling persistent access to compromised slices.
Cross-Slice Data Exfiltration
Data theft across network slice boundaries
Exploit vulnerabilities to access and exfiltrate sensitive data from other network slices, potentially compromising customer privacy and corporate security.
Edge Computing Security Threats
Edge computing deployments introduce new attack surfaces that can compromise distributed telecom infrastructure and enable sophisticated attacks.
Physical Security Threats
Network Security Threats
AI/ML Security Vulnerabilities
Artificial intelligence and machine learning systems introduce new attack vectors that can compromise 6G network security and enable sophisticated attacks.
Adversarial Attacks
Manipulate AI/ML models through carefully crafted inputs to cause misclassification or system failures, potentially bypassing security measures and enabling unauthorized access.
Data Poisoning
Inject malicious training data to compromise AI/ML model behavior, potentially creating backdoors or weakening security detection capabilities in 6G networks.
Model Inversion
Extract sensitive information from trained AI/ML models, potentially revealing network configurations, security policies, or customer data used in model training.
