What are the types of exploit?

Exploits can be categorized into several types, including software exploits, which take advantage of vulnerabilities in applications or operating systems; hardware exploits, which target weaknesses in physical devices; and network exploits, which focus on vulnerabilities in communication protocols or networks. Other types include social engineering exploits, where attackers manipulate individuals to gain access, and web exploits, which target web applications through methods like SQL injection or cross-site scripting. Each type aims to bypass security measures to gain unauthorized access or control.
