While CVE identifies specific instances of vulnerabilities, CWE categorizes the common flaws or weaknesses that can lead to vulnerabilities. CVE-1999-0183 is associated with the following CWEs:

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC) stores attack patterns, which are descriptions of the common attributes and approaches employed by adversaries to exploit the CVE-1999-0183 weaknesses.

We scan GitHub repositories to detect new proof-of-concept exploits. Following list is a collection of public exploits and proof-of-concepts, which have been published on GitHub (sorted by the most recently updated).

Implemented T-pot honeypots to collect and analyze data on cyber-attacks. The project involved monitoring attacker behavior, identifying IP addresses, and detecting attack patterns. The insights gained included different attack patterns, the regions with the most hits, and other relevant metrics.
