National Vulnerability Database
Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of a big list that tells you about all the bad things that could happen to your computer or your mom and dad's computer? That list is called the National Vulnerability Database, or NVD for short.
The NVD is like a big book that tells you about all the different ways that bad guys could try to break into a computer system or steal important information. The book is made by really smart people who study computers and make sure they are safe.
When a new bad thing is found, like a virus or a hack, the people who make the NVD add it to the big book so everyone knows about it. Then, the smart people tell other smart people how to fix the problem or protect against it, kind of like how a doctor tells you how to stay healthy.
So, the NVD is like a big, smart book that helps make computers and the internet a safer place for everyone. Cool, huh?
