ABOUT HACKERS!

Concept of Ethical Hacking

Hacking

  • The Art of exploring various security breaches is termed as Hacking.

  • Computer Hackers have been around for so many years. Since the Internet became widely used in the World, We have started to hear more and more about hacking. Only a few Hackers, such as Kevin Mitnick, are well known.

  • In a world of Black and White, it’s easy to describe the typical Hacker. A general outline of a typical Hacker is an Antisocial, Pimple-faced Teenage boy. But the Digital world has many types of Hackers.

  • Hackers are human like the rest of us and are, therefore, unique individuals, so an exact profile is hard to outline.The best broad description of Hackers is that all Hackers aren’t equal. Each Hacker has Motives, Methods andSkills. But some general characteristics can help you understand them. Not all Hackers are Antisocial, Pimplefaced Teenagers. Regardless, Hackers are curious about Knowing new things, Brave to take steps and they are often very Sharp Minded.

  WHAT ARE HACKERS? IS THEY CRIMINALS

Hacker is a word that has two meanings:
 Traditionally, a Hacker is someone who likes to play with Software or Electronic Systems. Hackers enjoy Exploring
and Learning how Computer systems operate. They love discovering new ways to work electronically.
 Recently, Hacker has taken on a new meaning — someone who maliciously breaks into systems for personal gain.
Technically, these criminals are Crackers as Criminal Hackers. Crackers break into systems with malicious
intentions.
 They do it for Personal gain, Fame, Profit and even Revenge. They Modify, Delete and Steal critical information,
often making other people's life miserable.
 Hacking has a lot of meanings depending upon the person’s knowledge and his work intentions. Hacking is an Art
as well as a Skill. Hacking is the knowledge by which one gets to achieve his Goals, anyhow, using his Skills and
Power.
 Most people associate Hacking with breaking law, therefore calling all those guys who engage in hacking activities
to be criminals. We agree that there are people out there who use hacking techniques to break the law, but
hacking is not really about that. In fact, hacking is more about following the law and performing the steps within
the limits.


What Is the Difference Between a Hacker and a Cracker?
 Many articles have been written about the difference between Hackers and crackers, which attempt to correct public misconceptions about hacking. For many years, media has applied the word Hacker when it really meansCracker. So the public now believe that a Hacker is someone who breaks into computer systems and stealconfidential data. This is very untrue and is an insult to some of our most talented Hackers.
There are various points to determine the difference between Hackers and crackers.

 Definition - A Hacker is a person who is interested in the working of any computer Operating system. Most often,Hackers are programmers. Hackers obtain advanced knowledge of operating systems and programminglanguages. They may know various security holes within systems and the reasons for such holes. Hackers

TYPES OF HACKERS

Coders
 The Real Hackers are the Coders, the ones who revise the methods and create tools that are available in the 

market. Coders can find security holes and weaknesses in software to create their own exploits. These Hackers 

can use those exploits to develop fully patched and secure systems.
 





 Coders are the programmers who have the ability to find the unique vulnerability in existing software and to 
create working exploit codes. These are the individuals with a deep understanding of the OSI Layer Model and 
 
TCP/IP Stacks.
 




Admins
 Admins are the computer guys who use the tools and exploits prepared by the coders. They do not develop their 
own techniques, however they uses the tricks which are already prepared by the coders. They are generally 
 
System Administration, or Computer Network Controller. Most of the Hackers and security person in this digital 
 
world come under this category.
 




 Admins have experience with several operating systems, and know how to exploit several existing vulnerabilities. 
A majority of Security Consultants fall in this group and work as a part of Security Team.
 




Script Kiddies
 Next and the most dangerous class of Hackers is Script kiddies, They are the new generation of users of computer 
who take advantage of the Hacker tools and documentation available for free on the Internet but don’t have any 
 
knowledge of what’s going on behind the scenes. They know just enough to cause you headaches but typically are 
 
very sloppy in their actions, leaving all sorts of digital fingerprints behind. Even though these guys are the teenage 
 
Hackers that you hear about in the news media, they need minimum skills to carry out their attacks.\
 




 Script Kiddies are the bunnies who use script and programs developed by others to attack computer systems and
Networks. They get the least respect but are most annoying and dangerous and can cause big problems without
actually knowing what they are doing.


White Hat Hacker
 A White Hat Hacker is computer guy who perform Ethical Hacking. These are usually security professionals with 
knowledge of hacking and the Hacker toolset and who use this knowledge to locate security weaknesses and 
 
implement counter measures in the resources.
 




 They are also known as an Ethical Hacker or a Penetration Tester. They focus on Securing andProtecting IT 
Systems.
 




Black Hat Hacker
 A Black Hat Hacker is computer guy who performs Unethical Hacking. These are the Criminal Hackers or Crackers 
who use their skills and knowledge for illegal or malicious purposes. They break into or otherwise violate the 
 
system integrity of remote machines, with malicious intent.
 




 These are also known as an Unethical Hacker or a Security Cracker. They focus on Security Cracking and Data 
stealing.
 




Grey Hat Hacker
 A Grey Hat Hacker is a Computer guy who sometimes acts legally, sometimes in good will, and sometimes not.
They usually do not hack for personal gain or have malicious intentions, but may or may not occasionally commit 
 
crimes during the course of their technological exploits.
 

how to secure your e-mail account

It’s tough to get people to pay attention and be serious about their online identity. An Email account is the first and primary component of your online identity and yet it’s the one that is left unguarded the most. Email accounts may be virtual but once hacked, the consequences and damages are very real.
The problem with a hacked email account is the domino effect. All registrations, purchases, renewals, transactions, password reminders etc. are sent to your email inbox. So once the first domino falls, the entire setup falls apart in one fell swoop. After the jump, we’ve rounded up a few tips that can help you secure your email accounts of popular webmail services.

Use a Strong Password


Strong Password
Yes, I know this is what every other tech blogger says every single time. But that has never made people any wiser. Even hackers feel insulted when they come across passwords like “sweetlove123”, “pass@123” and the like. Google is the best when it comes to putting real effort into securing your email account proactively. You can use special characters, numbers, upper and lower case alphabets of almost any length. My Gmail password is between 60 to 80 characters long and my general rule of thumb is to have a password that only the NSA can hack.

Use a reliable Secondary Email Address

Absolutely no Hotmail accounts for secondary fallback email account people. They still have their stone age era email account expiry plan after certain number days of non usage. So if the secondary email address is Hotmail and is expired, anyone create it back again to receive password reset information. And since webmail providers have this peculiar habit of giving all kinds of hints to remind you of the email address where the password recovery link has been sent, use an uncommon, custom domain or corporate email address that is hard to guess and hack into.

Setup SMS Alerts


SMS Alerts
Go to your account settings and add your mobile number to receive SMS alerts. Once that’s set up, Google will send you the password reset code whenever somebody tries to reset your password. Alternatively, if you are a smartphone user, you can rely on these SMS alerts and disable password recovery via email altogether. Email accounts are always vulnerable to a hacker from a remote place but your mobile phone is not. Yahoo provides the same feature free too. Hotmail has a similar feature but is not supported in a lot of countries.

Be sensible with your security question

Ok. There’s absolutely no point in having the security question, “My favorite doggy”, and posting pics of you and your poodle with images titled “Rolling with Rosy” on Facebook and Twitter. A lot of personal information is available online, thanks to social networks. On being the weakest links in the email security chain, security questions rank ahead of weak passwords. It’s nice to be an open book but select a question from those stapled pages and blacked out lines.

Check Filters and Forwarding Addresses

In the event of a hack and after reclaiming the account, go through the existing filters to check if there are some sneaky filters set up that forward all your credit card, login info, bank account and other sensitive correspondence to an email address that is not yours. Go to the forwarding page and see that all your incoming mails are not forwarded to the hacker either. This helps you avoid getting hacked in the future too.

Avoid Public WiFi

Happy to have discovered an unsecured WiFi hotspot? Or mooching your neighbour’s spilt WiFi? Enjoying the free WiFi of the coffee shop round the corner? Good for you and so is for the hacker sitting nearby to sniff the packets right out of thin air. Avoid using public WiFi for accessing email or transacting online with a credit card. Casual browsing and YouTube watching (without logging in) are Ok. Accessing emails is a big no, no.

Do not share your login information

Another obvious fact. But at times, it’s necessary for small businesses and online entrepreneurs to share login information with colleagues. For example, accessing Google AdSense, Analytics or Microsoft Live services etc. The ideal solution is to create a dedicated account for accessing these services instead of linking everything to your personal email id and sharing it.

Login regularly

Even if a hacker gets hold of the answer to your security question, they cannot use it immediately to reset the password and break into your Gmail account. Password reset with security question is possible only after 24 hours of your account being inactive after receiving the password reset instructions. So for once, checking your mail regularly is a good thing. Also, it will help reset the Hotmail account’s expiry date. Unfortunately Hotmail and Yahoo do not have this useful restriction in place.

Special Features

Gmail

Enable HTTPS by default from your account settings. This helps from the password getting sniffed when transmitted over public WiFi hot spots. If you are a Google Apps user, enable pre release features to avail the upcoming two factor authentication system before it launches.

Hotmail

Use the Windows Live Essentials package and verify the computer you are using as reliable. “Trusted PC” is a unique new proof that lets you link your Hotmail account with one or more of your personal computers. Then, if you ever need to regain control of your account by resetting your password, you simply have to use the trusted computer and Hotmail will know you are the legitimate owner. It’s a great feature for those who are really paranoid about email security.

Yahoo


Sign In Seal
Make use of the sign in seal option to verify the computer. Sign in seal is basically an image or color that Yahoo displays for each of your computers adding another layer of security to the login process.

Avoid Webmail

Still not sure about the safety and security of your email account online? It is totally understandable and I suggest you to take it off the Internet. I mean, partially. Get hold of an ISP and get a POP or IMAP account set up for your email address forgoing the webmail set up. Then use desktop email clients like Outlook or Thunderbird to pull your mails. It will make you feel dated, but is reliable and works effectively too.
