Software/Hardware Exploits and Vulnerabilities

Software is any computer program designed and coded to optimize or accessorize the core Operating System and kernel by adding functions not originally foreseen or intended. It may range from trivial gimmicks to distracting entertainment to full-fledged mission critical system security components.

Since both Computer Software and Hardware may have direct access to system memory or file directories depending on their purpose and function, and since either the Hardware or Software may have a direct connection to the Internet through port monitoring. A Computer Hardware or Software exploitable vulnerability can have serious consequences to the security of a computer system.
