AI Based Directory Discovery Attack and Prevention of the Medical Systems

Abstract

The medical system has been targeted by the cyber attackers, who aim to bring down the health security critical infrastructure. This research is motivated by the recent cyber-attacks happened during COVID 19 pandemics which resulted in the compromise of the diagnosis results. This study was carried to demonstrate how the medical systems can be penetrated using AI-based Directory Discovery Attack and present security solutions to counteract such attacks. We then followed the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) ethical hacking methodology to launch the AI-based Directory Discovery Attack. We were able to successfully penetrate the system and gain access to the core of the medical directories. We then proposed a series of security solutions to prevent such cyber-attacks.
