7. Vulnerable areas body
I love the brave; but it's not enough to be a grunt, -
you also need to know who to cut!
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is well known that a strong blow with a hand or foot causes sharp pain and extensive bruising in any part of the body. However, in a brutal fight (especially with multiple opponents), non-targeted area attacks are an unacceptable luxury. Oznobishin stated the following on this occasion: “The strategy of a serious battle does not pursue the task of simply “hurting” the enemy: if the latter is dangerous, then the effect of pain will only cause despair and anger, which will multiply his strength tenfold. The strategy requires bringing the enemy into a state of impossibility to resist. *
Therefore, the targets for your strikes should be not only what, but the most vulnerabilities human body. These are nerve nodes, large blood vessels, fragile bones, joints. Their defeat - on the one hand - does not require great strength, on the other - inevitably entails significant consequences. These can be: pain shock; semi-conscious state (what in boxing is called "groggy"); loss of consciousness; mechanical injury (dislocation, fracture, bleeding, rupture of muscles or ligaments); death. As a result, the enemy loses the ability to continue the fight for a period of time from a few seconds to infinity.
Before proceeding further with this issue, I would like to make two clarifications. First, I'm talking about punches here, not weapons. Indeed, to be hit by stabbing, cutting, chopping objects, our body is vulnerable anywhere from the top of the head to the heels. Secondly, for now I am only talking about blows and do not touch on such methods of influence as biting, pinching, twisting, leverage.
Among experts there is no consensus on the total number of vulnerabilities on the human body. For example, Chinese masters distinguish about 200 nerve points that are highly sensitive to poking and pressing with fingers. The specificity of this technique is that the impact on these points requires minimal effort, but gives maximum results: a person experiences severe pain, or his arms and legs seem to be paralyzed, or he instantly loses consciousness.
It would seem, what more could you want?! Learn the location of two or three dozen such points, learn to hit them with the fingers of both hands, and you're done! You will become a very dangerous subject. However, everything is not so simple. First, most of the nerve points vulnerable to finger damage are almost always covered by clothing. Only those who have undergone special training can pierce a jacket, raincoat or coat, knitted sweater, tight jeans with a finger. Secondly, to defeat even a naked body, one must also have well-hardened (“stuffed”) fingers, otherwise their dislocation or fracture is guaranteed. Thirdly, in the course of a street brawl, its participants usually fail to instantly determine the exact location of these points, since the position of the torso and limbs of each of the fighters is constantly changing, and their attention is scattered.
Where is the exit? It is not to attack microscopic nerve points, but rather large areas of the body and to do this with a more massive weapon than fingers. As for such zones, the devastating consequences are caused by hitting any point throughout their area. By "massive" weapons, I mean the base and edge of the palm, elbow, knee, foot, head, fist, and fingers, but brought together like a beak or a knife.
By bringing together tables, lists and anatomical diagrams from manuals on hand-to-hand combat for special forces, I identified 30 "targets" that are indicated more often than others, and the destructive effect on which, in fact, does not require special force: enough that is inherent in a teenager 14-15 years old.
These targets are arranged in the order determined by their availability. The most vulnerable part of the body, of course, is the head, but it is more difficult to get to it than to the legs or groin, especially if there are several opponents and they are taller (and I take this situation as a basis). Therefore, the sequence for choosing targets for attack is as follows: legs from feet to knees, central line body in front, body on the sides, head, center line of the body in the back, arms.
If you are armed, then the hands become the number one target. The explanation here is simple. Whatever the aggressor tries to do with you, he does it with his hands - he grabs them, pushes, beats, strangles, brandishes a knife or a stick ... Therefore, crushing his fingers, breaking his forearm, deeply cutting or piercing the back of his hand, you will reliably bring out him out of order. However, without weapons, it is hardly possible to cause any serious damage to the hands of the attacker, unless you are a master of sports in sambo. For example, it was possible to catch the massive forearm of a gorilla-like "umbal". Try to break it with “one sharp movement”, as the authors of some manuals recommend: there will not be enough strength ...
So, I will list the affected areas that combine the 30 targets mentioned above (together with the paired ones there will be more, not 30, but 45):
1) ankle joint - lower leg;
2) knee joint;
3) perineum - lower abdomen;
4) solar plexus - cardiac plexus;
5) interclavicular cavity - throat - chin;
6) hypochondrium - ribs;
7) clavicle - the lateral part of the neck;
8) upper lip - the base of the nose;
9) nose bridge - eyes;
10) temple - ear;
11) nape - the seventh cervical vertebra;
12) between the shoulder blades - the central part of the spine;
13) lower back - kidneys;
14) elbow - armpit - shoulder;
15) fingers.
As for some other parts of the body, often called "vulnerable", they, in my opinion, do not meet the main requirement - to cause severe pain in the event of a lesion and incapacitate a person for at least a few seconds.
Let us now consider the consequences that take place as a result of limb strikes on the targets listed here.
1. ANKLE JOINT ("LIFT" OF THE FOOT)
It is affected by a “trampling” kick from top to bottom, or by a “football” kick in a horizontal plane from the front or side. It is better that the attacking leg is in shoes. This place is very sensitive in almost all people, because from childhood it is protected by shoes, and there is no muscular cover here (Fig. 25).
Relatively weak blows to the ankle joint cause acute pain and deprive the opponent of the opportunity to actively work with the foot. A stronger impact leads to the destruction of the small bones of the foot, causes a crack, and even a fracture of the lower end of the tibia (small or large, depending on which side the blow is applied from). A strong blow from behind at the level of the instep of the foot tears the Achilles tendon if the attacked leg is under load at this time and does not fly forward.
2. SHIN ("BONE")
The two tibias located here (small and large) are almost not covered by muscles, so the pain from hitting them pierces the whole body, like an electrical discharge. You can attack the lower leg both with the inner (with a “football” kick) and the outer (with a side kick) side of the foot, best of all with a hard edge of your shoes. However, you can hit with both the heel (heel) and the sole (Fig. 26). Just do not hit the shin with a toe, as it can slip off and then the blow will not cause significant harm to the enemy.
Relatively weak blows to the lower leg cause acute pain and a huge bruise, damage the periosteum. A strong impact entails a painful shock up to loss of consciousness, a crack or fracture of the bone.
The direction of blows to the lower leg is predominantly from the front or side. An attack from behind on a leg loaded at that moment with body weight can cause temporary paralysis of the calf muscle.
3. KNEE JOINT
It is unambiguously considered by all experts that the knee - best target for low level kicks. It is convenient to hit him from all sides, with any part of the foot, at any angle (from top to bottom, from bottom to top, horizontally), by any movement - pushing, swinging, trampling (Fig. 27).
Relatively weak blows to the knee cause acute pain and force the opponent to moderate his ardor. A stronger impact leads to rupture of the knee ligaments, fragmentation of cartilage, dislocation or fracture of the bones that form the articular joint. Often a person becomes disabled after this. A blow of medium strength from behind (into the popliteal fold) is also accompanied by acute pain and partial destruction of the joint.
4. PERINUM (GENITALS)
This target can be hit with anything - toe and instep, heel, knee, fist, edge and base of the palm, fingertips pressed together (Fig. 28). You can not even beat, but simply grab the genitals with your hand and pull them towards you - to the side. However, this place has been protected by men since childhood. We all tend to purely reflexively cover our perineum with our hand or thigh when trying to attack it. Therefore, the attack here takes place only with distraction of the enemy's attention, for example, with a whipping blow of the hand to the eyes.
Even a slight impact on the neurovascular bundle located in the genitals causes acute pain and incapacitates for several tens of seconds. Stronger blows entail a painful shock up to loss of consciousness and guarantee severe injury with internal bleeding.
5. LOWER ABDOMEN (PUBIC AREA)
There is no muscular armor in the lower abdomen, and numerous neurovascular plexuses are located inside the abdominal cavity. It is better to strike here with the toe of the shoe, with the knee, with the fist, with the tips of the fingers clenched together (Fig. 29).
A relatively weak blow to the lower abdomen is accompanied by severe pain and semi-consciousness. A stronger impact causes pain shock up to loss of consciousness, internal bleeding, fracture of the pubic bone or rupture of the bladder.
6. SOLAR PLEXUS ("SUN")
It is located directly below the xiphoid process of the sternum. It is convenient to hit him with the elbow, knee, fist, base of the palm, second phalanges of the fingers, clenched in the manner of the so-called "devil's paw" (Fig. 30). It is difficult to break through the sun for “jocks”, overgrown with powerful muscles, but even they cannot keep their press constantly tense. On inspiration, the abdominal muscles relax and this target opens up for defeat.
A relatively weak blow to the solar plexus causes acute pain, temporary cessation of breathing, reflex inhibition of the heart, a drop in blood pressure and, as a result, a fainting state. The person bends in half, loses the ability to move for one or two minutes. A strong blow entails suffocation, loss of consciousness and even death if it was directed from the bottom up.
7. CARDIAC PLEXUS ("HEART")
This target is located just below the left nipple. Everything said about the "sun" is true here. I will only add that strong blow in the region of the heart, it can stop and then death will instantly occur. It is necessary to know about this, since the cardiac plexus is more vulnerable than the solar plexus (Fig. 31).
8. INTERCLAULAR CAVITY ("POLE")
It is located below the Adam's apple (the so-called "Adam's apple"), between the collarbones. There are no muscles here, so even a weak blow injures the trachea, which is accompanied by a strong cough, tears, and a feeling of suffocation. A strong impact causes throat bleeding, respiratory arrest, loss of consciousness and often death, especially if the blow was made by some object: the end of a stick, a ballpoint pen, etc. (Fig. 32).
Blows to the interclavicular cavity are best applied with a “beak” of fingers gathered together, or with the thumb. In some situations, for example, if you are on the ground under an attacker, attacking the "fossa" between the collarbones may be your only chance of salvation.
9. THROAT (Adam's Apple, Adam's Apple)
This refers to the thyroid cartilage of the larynx, protruding forward from under the skin. They beat him with the edge of the palm, its base (if the head is thrown back up), with a fist of the "devil's paw" type, as well as with a fork formed by the thumb bent in opposite directions and the rest (Fig. 33).
A light blow causes acute pain and suffocation. Consciousness, as a rule, remains, but the enemy loses the ability to take action for a period of time from fifteen to twenty seconds to a minute. A stronger impact entails profuse bleeding from the mouth, pain shock and loss of consciousness, or a fracture of the thyroid cartilage, rupture of the windpipe and death.
10. CHIN (CENTER OF LOWER JAW)
The main ways to hit this target are as follows: a fist blow from the bottom up, right under the lower jaw (“uppercut”), an elbow strike from the side or from below, and, finally, a short straight blow with the base of the palm with the direction of the movement trajectory to the top of the head (Fig. 34). The last of the three is the best. If you hold it exactly in the center, easily and relaxed, having gathered only at the last moment, then it affects the cerebellum and knocks down the most powerful “roller”. Trying to hit the chin with a fist, you can break your hand at the wrist joint.
In scientific terms, a blow to the chin causes a concussion vestibular apparatus and temporarily inhibited activity of cardio-vascular system supplying the brain with oxygen. Both of these combined cause confusion. In addition, sometimes from such a blow a person bites his tongue hard with his teeth.
11. RIBS (LIVER AND SPLEEN)
As you know, a person has 12 pairs of ribs. Of these, 7 pairs are called upper, and 5 - lower, or false. On the right side of the body behind the lower ribs is the liver, on the left side is the spleen. Strikes on the lower ribs are applied with anything: with the knee, foot, elbow, fist, base and edge of the palm, but not with the fingers (Fig. 35).
As a result of bruising of the ribs with relatively weak blows, a person experiences acute pain, he reflexively has an instantaneous ejection of blood from both the liver and spleen. Both put him out of action for a while. With a stronger blow, two or three ribs can break, which in itself makes it difficult to breathe and move. But much more significant is the fact that from a strong blow there is a rupture of the liver or spleen. And since both of these organs contain a large number of blood (they are a kind of "blood depot"), insofar as the case can end in death.
12. HYPOCOHOND
This is the name of the part of the body below the false ribs. A blow to this area, directed in a straight line from the right or left side into the body, causes intense pain and internal bleeding. This is due to the fact that in the areas of the abdominal cavity adjacent to the sides, large blood vessels pass, and there are numerous nerve nodes. If the blow is directed from the bottom up, as if under the ribs, then it injures either the liver (and the gallbladder located under it) or the spleen. Such a blow, in addition, easily breaks the tenth rib (Fig. 36).
Of course, in order for a blow in the hypochondrium to be penetrating inside the body, it is necessary to produce it with a small shock surface - the toe of the shoe, the “devil's paw” fist, the beak of fingers clenched together. And even better - the end of the stick. It is good to hit upwards with the knee, the base and the edge of the palm, the fist.
The matter is facilitated by the fact that the muscles of the lateral surfaces of the torso are poorly developed in the majority of current city dwellers. They don't mow grass, they don't cut firewood, they don't dig the ground - where do strong lateral muscles come from?
13. Clavicle
Even from a weak blow to the collarbone, a person experiences acute pain, and in order to break it, an effort of only 25 kilograms per square centimeter is required. Such an effort is available to both a teenager and an untrained woman. The direction of the blow is from top to bottom, the weapon of the body is the edge or base of the palm, the lower part of the fist, the head, sometimes the elbow (Fig. 37). It is important that with a broken collarbone, a person cannot hit hard with the other hand and even with his feet.
With stronger blows, the clavicle does not just break, but is completely destroyed and injures the tops of the lungs, bronchi, and large blood vessels with its fragments.
14. SIDE SURFACE OF THE NECK
The carotid artery, jugular vein and vagus nerve pass through this place. As a result of even a weak blow with the edge or the base of the palm, fist, elbow, a person's blood pressure drops, breathing becomes difficult, orientation in space is disturbed. But the main thing is that he feels a sharp pain. With a stronger impact, loss of consciousness occurs (although blows of this kind are not dangerous for life), or, at a minimum, a person falls to the ground (Fig. 38).
15. UPPER LIP ("FILTRUM", OR NOSOLABIAL FOLD)
To be precise, this refers to the area of the face between the base of the nose and the upper lip. It is considered one of the most vulnerable places of a person. Here the nasal cartilage fuses with the cranial bone and there is a nerve node (Fig. 39).
Even from a weak blow with the edge of the palm, "fork", or a fist directed deep into the face, your opponent will feel a sharp pain. If you hit harder, then there will be a painful shock, concussion, loss of consciousness and, possibly, death. It all depends on the strength of the blow, its trajectory and the accuracy of the hit. In any case, blood will gush, not from the nose, but from the upper lip.
16. NOSE BASE
Strikes here are best done with a “fork” between the thumb and the rest of the fingers, the “devil's paw” fist (i.e. the second phalanges of bent fingers) or the base of the palm. The nose is a very sensitive organ, so a short poke is enough for any “jock” to throw its head back, and blood bleeds from its nostrils. A blow to the base of the nose does not require any force, however, it is hardly possible to “knock out” a strong man with it. It should be used as a means to force the opponent to open his throat. He threw back his head and with the same hand you hit him in the Adam's apple or push him in the chest, while doing the bandwagon (Fig. 40).
17. NOSE BONUS (MIDDLE BACK OF NOSE)
They beat her with the edge and base of the palm, fist, elbow, head. A light blow causes acute pain, a medium-strength blow causes a painful shock (up to loss of consciousness), profuse bleeding, and a complete loss of combat capability. A strong blow crushes the nasal bone and cartilage attached to it into fragments that can penetrate the brain and cause instant death (Fig. 41).
18. EYE
A blow to the eye is made with one thumb, a beak of all fingers folded together, and also with the tips of four fingers when whipping (Fig. 42). However, there are cases when it was possible to knock out an eye with the base of the palm. Never try to poke both eyes at once with two spread fingers, as recommended in some instructions. That way you'd rather break your fingers than gouge out your opponent's eyes.
Human eyes are very vulnerable. Almost no force is required to injure them. However, getting into the eye is not so easy. Much more often, an eye attack is used as a maneuver to divert the attention of the enemy from the main blow. Well, in those rather rare cases, when your finger actually sticks into the eye of the enemy, the latter experiences acute pain and loses orientation in the surrounding space. Simply put, after that, he is solely concerned with the state of his organ of vision.
The eyes, together with the bridge of the nose, the base of the nose, and the nasolabial fold, form the so-called "T-zone" of the lesion. It is the main target for attacks aimed at the face.
19. TEMPLE
Blows to the temple are extremely dangerous. A relatively weak blow is accompanied by pain shock, concussion and loss of consciousness, a stronger impact breaks the temporal bone. She, in turn, pierces the adjacent area of the brain and cuts the blood vessels passing there, as a result of which instant death occurs (Fig. 43).
The fact is that the temporal bone of the skull is very thin, and the cerebral artery passes directly under it. The temple is usually beaten with a fist (more precisely, with a knuckle index finger), the base of the fist, the phalanx bent thumb and sometimes with the elbow if the opponent is short.
20. EAR
This is an organ not only of hearing, but also of balance (semicircular canals of the inner ear). The most effective is a simultaneous blow to the ears with the palms of both hands, bent like cups. As a result, a person feels a pain shock, dizziness, he feels sick, he loses orientation in space. With a stronger impact, eardrums may burst, and internal cerebral hemorrhage with a fatal outcome is also possible (Fig. 44).
They beat him in the ear with the edge of the palm, with the knuckles of the fist, with its base, with the elbow. It is not difficult to pierce the tympanic membrane with the thumb, forcibly driving it into the opening of the auditory shell, which entails wild pain.
21. NECK (BASE OF THE SKULL)
This is where the neck joins the skull. A blow with the edge of the palm, its base, fist, elbow in this place is accompanied by acute pain, loss of orientation, semi-consciousness - if it is relatively weak. More a strong beat displaces cervical vertebrae, infringes or breaks the spinal cord, as a result of which a person ends up in intensive care, or even in a cemetery (Fig. 45). In both cases, the enemy instantly goes out of action for a long time. Only now it’s good to kiss the back of the enemy’s head, especially if this enemy is tall and strong in build, it’s very, very difficult.
22. NECK BACK
As you know, the human spine consists of 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar vertebrae, as well as the sacrum and coccyx, formed by fused vertebrae. The nerve trunk of the spinal cord runs through the vertebrae. Spinal injuries associated with displacement or fracture of the vertebrae are accompanied by severe injuries (partial or complete ruptures) of the spinal cord. tear it up cervical regions completely paralyzes the person. Gaps in thoracic region paralyze the abdominal muscles and intercostal muscles, which makes breathing extremely difficult, and in lumbar- paralysis lower extremities(Fig. 46).
Any blows to the spine with the edge and base of the palm, fist, and even more so with such powerful weapons as the head, elbow, knee, foot are extremely painful and very dangerous. With a weak blow, a person feels a sharp pain, on a short time depriving him of the ability to continue the battle. A strong blow knocks him to the ground and completely incapacitates, and death is also possible.
23, 24, 25
The three main targets on the back are the following: the hollow between the shoulder blades, the central part of the back and the loin (fig. 47, 48, 49). As mentioned above, blows to any part of the spine are very painful and dangerous. Sometimes the coccyx is also indicated as a weak spot in the lower back, but any traumatologist will tell you that this is far from the case. The blow to the coccyx must be strong and directed exclusively from the bottom up, so that the person feels a sharp pain. But even if you manage to break it, this will not prevent the enemy from fighting, he will suffer from pain later.
26. KIDNEY
Kidney - large internal organ, its length in an adult is 10-13 cm, and its width is 5-6 cm, and the left kidney is longer and thicker than the right one. The kidney is a very sensitive organ, in addition, in the place where it is located, a large nerve passes under the very skin of the back - a branch from the spinal cord. Therefore, even a slight blow to the kidney area is accompanied by acute pain. And the stronger it is, the higher the likelihood of a kidney rupture with bleeding, pain shock and death.
Strikes to the kidney area can be made both with hands and feet, elbows, knees and head. But, I repeat once again, the stronger the blow, the more dangerous it is for health and life (Fig. 50).
27. ELBOW
Every adult has hit his elbow on some hard object more than once, and knows how much it hurts. The whole body seems to be pierced by an electrical discharge. But the pain in this case is not the main evil. Worse, the elbow joint is rather weak, it is not difficult to dislocate or break it.
A blow to the elbow with the foot, knee, fist, base of the palm from below causes acute pain, partial or complete rupture of the ligaments, dislocation, fracture (Fig. 51). The stronger the blow, the tighter you hold the opponent's hand, the more serious the consequences it entails. It is clear that with a broken elbow, the enemy is no longer a fighter. One arm is completely incapacitated, the second he is forced to support the broken one, otherwise the slightest movement is given in the broken joint with acute pain.
28. ARMPIT (ARMPIT)
The brachial plexus is located here, the median and ulnar nerves, the subclavian artery and vein pass, there are numerous lymph nodes and vessels (Fig. 52). A blow with a fist, a beak of fingers gathered together, one thumb, a toe of a shoe in a given place with a relatively weak impact causes acute pain, making it impossible to attack. A strong blow is accompanied by partial or complete destruction of the bag of the shoulder joint, pain shock, and sometimes leads to death.
29. SHOULDER JOINT
shallow articular cavity, big sizes heads humerus and weakness of the ligaments of the articular capsule make the shoulder joint the place where most often, compared with all other joints, dislocations occur (during falls, shocks, bruises, etc.). Shoulder dislocation is often accompanied by a fracture of the upper end of the humerus. Thus, the anatomical features of this joint make it one of the most vulnerable places in the human body.
A relatively weak but sharp blow to the shoulder from the front or back quite easily leads to a dislocation. And a blow to the shoulder from above causes acute pain, muscle numbness, torn ligaments or intramuscular bleeding - it all depends on the strength of the blow, and on how well you “attached” to the shoulder. Meanwhile, athletes usually kick the shoulder from the side-in, which is completely safe. It is clear that from above, in front, from behind you cannot hit the shoulder joint with your foot, they hit it with the base and edge of the palm, knuckles and the base of the fist, sometimes it is possible to hit with the elbow - if the enemy is bent. In a lying opponent, the shoulder can be knocked out with a kick of the foot (Fig. 53).
30. FINGERS
It is well known (at least to traumatologists) that the fingers of the hands are easily injured. It is easy to knock them out of the joints or break them with a blow to the base of the palm, its edge, elbow, knee, foot. It's even easier to break your fingers. For example, if an opponent has caught you in a grapple, don't waste your energy trying to tear his arms away from you. Better start breaking his fingers. Let go immediately. Any finger can also be bitten off, cut off, crushed, there would be a desire (Fig. 54).
* * *
So, in order to incapacitate a person, make him suffer from pain, maim or kill, much less strength is required than "dummies" usually think. It is only necessary not to randomly swing your limbs (maybe I’ll get somewhere), but purposefully attack the most vulnerable places.
Keep this in mind not only during the fight, but also in training with partners. Otherwise you will kill each other.
* Oznobishin N.N. Art hand-to-hand combat, With. 78.
Fists should not be waved anyhow, but aimed at the most vulnerable places of the human body. What are these places, and how to beat them, today we will tell.
1. Ankle joint
It is affected by a “trampling” kick from top to bottom, or by a “football” kick in a horizontal plane from the front or side. It is better that the attacking leg is in shoes. This place is very sensitive in almost all people, because from childhood it is protected by shoes, and there is no muscular cover here.

2. Calf
The two tibias located here (small and large) are almost not covered by muscles, so the pain from hitting them pierces the whole body, like an electrical discharge. You can attack the lower leg both with the inner (with a “football” kick) and the outer (with a side kick) side of the foot. This is best done with a hard edge of your shoes. However, you can hit with both the heel (heel) and the sole. Just do not hit the shin with a toe, as it can slip off and then the blow will not cause significant harm to the enemy.

3. Knee joint
The knee is the best target for low level kicks. It is convenient to hit him from all sides, with any part of the foot, at any angle (from top to bottom, from bottom to top, horizontally), by any movement - pushing, swinging, trampling.

4. Crotch
This target can be hit with anything - toe and instep, heel, knee, fist, edge and base of the palm, fingertips pressed together.
You can not even beat, but simply grab the genitals with your hand and pull them towards you - to the side. However, this place has been protected by men since childhood. We all tend to purely reflexively cover our perineum with our hand or thigh when trying to attack it. Therefore, such a blow rolls only with a distraction of the enemy’s attention, for example: a whipping blow of the hand over the eyes.

5. Lower abdomen (pubic area)
There is no muscular armor in the lower part of the abdomen, and numerous neurovascular plexuses are located inside the abdominal cavity. It is better to strike here with the toe of the shoe, with the knee, with the fist, with the tips of the fingers clenched together.

6. Solar plexus ("sun")
It is convenient to hit him with the elbow, knee, fist, base of the palm, second phalanges of the fingers, clenched in the manner of the so-called "devil's paw" (see figure). It is difficult to break through the sun in the "musclings", overgrown with powerful muscles. But even they can't keep their abs tight all the time. On inspiration, the abdominal muscles relax, and this target opens up for defeat.

7. Cardiac plexus
This target is located just below the left nipple. Everything said about the "sun" is true here. We only add that with a strong blow to the region of the heart, it can stop. Then death will come instantly. It is necessary to know about this in order not to hit there (the cardiac nerve plexus is more vulnerable than the solar one).
When you know your weaknesses, they can turn into strengths if you can use that knowledge to your advantage.
Before we start this article, we would like to say that we are not trying to make anyone feel bad about their shortcomings. We just want to help each person blossom and grow into their best version, and for this you need to know about your weaknesses and strengths.
Well, now, we want to talk about the main weakness of each zodiac sign, so that you realize them and learn how to cope with them. When you know your weaknesses, they can turn into strengths if you can use that knowledge to your advantage.
ARIES 03/21-04/19
Aries do not like when someone other than themselves is in charge, because they like to take the reins of power at any opportunity. While Aries are natural leaders, they can sometimes get carried away and won't listen to the opinions of others.
Aries also tend to make decisions without thinking through them fully and can come across as overly aggressive and easily annoyed.
TAURUS 20.04-20.05
Taurus is a very stable and reliable sign, however, he can get stuck in his own way and not want to change or grow when necessary. They love to do what they do best and do not try anything new in life because of the fear of failure.
They have a lot of pride, which is partly why they like to stay in their comfort zone. They find something they are good at, make it a habit, and may not see other options or opportunities that come their way.
Taurus can really be stubborn like bulls, so if you want to convince them of something, you need to train maximum patience.
GEMINI 21.05-20.06
Gemini, you both discourage us and delight us at the same time. Indeed, it seems that you have a split personality and can never make a final decision.
Although this makes you an interesting and intriguing person. You always have something to talk about, although sometimes it seems that you are not listening. You constantly change your mind, and therefore it is difficult to keep up with you. You are constantly changing like a chameleon, but you stand out, not blend in.
You are a mystery to us, and maybe even to yourself. Geminis often don't feel "fulfilled" in life, perhaps because they can't even decide what they really want to achieve.
RAK 21.06 -22.07
Cancers have a beautiful, sensitive, gentle soul, but their emotions often take over them so much that they are completely paralyzed. Cancers have a lot of self-esteem issues and often look to others for approval or recognition. Cancers need to be nurtured and groomed, and that can be too much for partners, close friends, and family.

Published: 18.02 01:08The most vulnerable in our world are children
Childhood is the brightest and brightest part of a person's life. Coming into this world, a weak and defenseless child can only rely on the help and care of adults. The child begins to learn the surrounding reality, depending on how it is presented to him. How the baby grows up largely depends on how his parents relate to this life. What values predominate in the family, what occupies a priority position - material or spiritual - an indicator of what the current child will prefer in the future. Children are very soft and pliable material , what prevents to bring up a harmoniously developed personality, and what helps this process? It seems to me that, first of all, the behavior of the parents themselves. Which of them thinks about the soul of a little person when, in front of him, he starts a scandal with a neighbor or begins to condemn friends, acquaintances, who care about what scars the unseemly actions of adults leave in memory. Deceive a child once, and he will remember it for the rest of his life, and then following your example, he will deceive everyone, but you will be the first. Are you disrespectful to your parents? Change, because one day you will be in their place, and your child will do the same to you. A person brought up in lies and hatred will sow and grow the same. Teach a child to love, and he will be grateful to you, because he is happy only because he gives love to others and bathes in this love himself. Teach a child to love, as wise books that have come to us from the depths of centuries teach, how much light they bring to our wounded souls .People perceive the Bible as a fairy tale for many decades, but wasn’t the Apostle Paul right when he wrote beautiful and, undoubtedly, still relevant words, think about how simple everything is: “Love is patient, kind, love does not envy, love does not exalt itself, do not is proud, does not act outrageous, does not seek his own, is not irritated, does not think evil, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; covers everything, believes everything, hopes everything, endures everything "Moms and dads, grandfathers and grandmothers, teach us to love!
term "vulnerability"in the computer field, they indicate flaws in the system, using which you can intentionally harm its operation. Such vulnerabilities arise as a result of errors in the programming process, flaws in the design of the system, weak passwords, viruses and rogue malware, script and SQL injections.
Not only websites, but also different kind Software can have vulnerabilities and suffer from them over time if attackers find them and perform illegal actions. Indeed, some vulnerabilities are very dangerous for sites and can significantly harm your projects. Therefore, it is important to know what vulnerabilities exist and how they can affect an online project.
Simple steps to improve website security.
I will consider the most dangerous types vulnerabilities according to the TOP 10 OWASP project in 2017. Let's start with the most important, and those that are less significant will be at the bottom of the list. Be sure to read this information, perhaps it will help protect your site from dangers.
What types of website vulnerabilities should be highlighted?
- Injection
The most popular injection types are SQL, OS, XXE and LDAP. These are vulnerabilities that appear in the process of passing unverified user input to the interpreter for execution. That is, any user can execute arbitrary code in the interpreter. With the help of them, the fraudster gains access to the database, reads hidden data, and can even write down their values. Injections occur when the data is not checked for escape sequences and commands, such as quotes in SQL.
- Authentication and session check errors
For most applications, it becomes necessary to identify users to work with them. There are times when the functions for authentication and session management are implemented incorrectly. This allows hackers to gain access to user accounts without using passwords. In this case, session keys or tokens are intercepted.
- XSS Vulnerability
The first two points discussed relate to sites and the server. An XSS vulnerability poses more of a threat to the user than to the server machine. XSS works in the user's browser and makes it possible to steal his information. XSS or Cross-Site Scripting works in JavaScript on the same principle as injections. The hacker passes a special string in some field, in the line of JS code, the browser decides that this code is sent by the site and launches it. This code can be anything. To avoid this situation, you must escape all special characters using the htmlspecialchars function or its equivalent methods.
- Access Control Errors
There are cases when, by mistake, information becomes available to ordinary users for ordinary users, which in fact should be hidden. Most often this happens on popular CMS. For example, due to files in the root of the site: the wp-config.php file with database access passwords is not available due to the php extension. When edited in Vim and saved incorrectly, it creates backup copy with the .swp extension, and it can be opened in a web browser without problems.
Access control errors also include errors in the application code that open access to hidden data for unauthorized users.
- Misconfiguration
For any application or site to be as secure as possible, a well-designed application/framework-level configuration and properly configured servers are essential first and foremost. These settings should be constantly maintained and updated to prevent problems in the future. As you know, the default configuration of most services is not secure enough, and the software must be kept up to date.
- Unprotected sensitive data
Unfortunately, a large number of web applications, sites and APIs do not protect the user's confidential information and transfer it to open form. And it can be not only passwords, tokens and keys, but financial information that must be protected at the maximum level. First of all, this can be done using the https protocol, which is connected after purchase.
- Poor attack defense
This problem is seen in many applications and APIs that do not even have basic capabilities to detect, prevent and respond to manual and automatic attacks. Protection against attacks, of course, is not only a basic verification of the compliance of the login and password. This is the detection, logging and even blocking of invalid login attempts and other unauthorized actions. All this is done for the safety of the user and protection of his information from theft by intruders.
- CSRF Vulnerabilities
Using a CSRF or Cross-Site Request Forgery attack, the scammer forces the victim's browser to send an HTTP request, including cookies, session files, etc., to the vulnerable web application.
That is, the hacker gets the opportunity to generate requests from the victim's browser, which the application considers correct and sent by the victim herself. Such a situation can arise, for example, when you simply open a link, and the Internet resource is already sending your friends a notification with an advertisement without your permission or completely deletes your account.
- Using components with vulnerabilities
Components (libraries, frameworks, and software modules) operate with capabilities that are similar to applications. Therefore, if a component has a vulnerability, then a fraudster who performs an attack can steal important data or even gain access to server management. Applications and APIs that use components with vulnerabilities can expose themselves to attacks and greatly compromise their security.
- Insecure APIs
APIs are very important and requested additions to every application on the Web. They can work with SOAP/XML, REST/JSON, RPC, GWT protocols. But it often happens that they are also not safe and have a lot of errors that open up vulnerabilities for sites.
What Internet projects are the most vulnerable?
Positive Tehnologics conducted a special study and provided a report on the most vulnerable sites. They turned out to be Internet resources that were written in PHP using their own engine. Resources using Java/ASP.NET technologies and commercial CMS became the safest. Remember that the main goal of a cybercriminal is to control the site, and the presence of vulnerabilities will only help him achieve them. Therefore, it is better to spend money on developing a secure site than to “treat” vulnerabilities later and suffer from them.
How to find and fix Internet resource vulnerabilities?
This question is of interest to many developers and site owners. As we have already discussed, the most common causes of site security threats can be: low-quality site/server code or Open-Source CMS. Therefore, it is very important to monitor the occurrence of possible vulnerabilities in your Internet project using special means. For example, special programs have been developed for these purposes.
It is also worth considering the fact that attackers, for their part, have many tools for automatically testing each type of vulnerability, for finding vulnerable sites and for finding vulnerabilities on the server. Therefore, it is really important to update the CMS on time, because most of the known errors are found in free systems.
