Avrupa Bilim ve Teknoloji Dergisi European Journal of Science and Technology Cilt. 2, No. 4, S. 112-117, Haziran 2015 Vol. 2, No. 4, pp. 112-117, June 2015 © Telif hakkı EJOSAT’a aittir Copyright © 2014 EJOSAT Araştırma Makalesi www.ejosat.com ISSN:2148-2683 Research Article Survey of Instant Messaging Applications Encryption Methods Abdullah Talha Kabakus1*, Resul Kara2 1 Abant Izzet Baysal University, IT Center, 14280, Bolu, Turkey 2 Duzce University, Faculty of Engineering, Department of Computer Engineering, 81620, Duzce, Turkey (First received 15 February 2015 and in final form 29 May 2015) Abstract Instant messaging applications has already taken the place of traditional Short Messaging Service (SMS) and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) due to their popularity and usage easement they provide. Users of instant messaging applications are able to send both text and audio messages, different types of attachments such as photos, videos, and contact information to their contacts in real time. Because of instant messaging applications use internet instead of Short Message Service Technical Realization (GSM), they are free to use and they only require internet connection which is the most common way of communication today. The critical point here is providing privacy of these messages in order to prevent any vulnerable points for hackers and cyber criminals. According to the latest research by PricewaterhouseCoopers, percentage of global cyber attacks is increased to 48% with 42.8 million detected incidents. Another report that is published by security company Postini indicates that 90% of instant messaging targeted threats are highly destructive worms. In this study, instant messaging applications encryption methods are comparatively presented. -

Exploits are temporary, bad design decisions are forever. http://Irongeek.com There are several reasons why an attacker may want to find local passwords: To escalate privileges on the local host (install games, sniffers, key stroke catchers and other software or just to bypass restrictions). Local passwords can be used to gain access to other systems on the network. Admins may reuse the same usernames and passwords on other network hosts (more than likely if they use hard drive imaging). Similar themes are also often used for password selection.
