Answer:
The Internet
Explanation:
Why? The internet has done twice if not thrice what the printing press has done. The printing press allowed for dissemination of information and knowledge to the population through its mechanical movable printing capability and speed of book publishing. However its reach was highly limited by the physical attributes of the machines and having to transfer books and papers in spreading them to certain destinations. This limitation has been eliminated by the internet as one is able to receive a book written today in seconds and not physically but through electronic means. In other words, information need not be transferred physically, also accessbility and cost of getting information has been highly improved with the internet.

A directory traversal attack or path attack is done through a web browser by an attacker, who seeks for a weak path link on the public's website and accesses the information in the server.
