“Hackers and Hacking Attacks”- Magician and Their Magic Wand For
ISSN XXXX XXXX © 2019 IJESC Research Article Volume 9 Issue No. 5 “Hackers and Hacking Attacks”- Magician and Their Magic Wand for Security Breech Manish JitendrabhaiVankani Department of SOE – MCA RK University, Rajkot, Gujarat, India Abstract: In Modern era, each and every data is available online. Any person across the world can access that data very easily. Some people use this data to gain the information while other people use this data to fulfil their malicious intent. There are lots of methods used for protection of data but the hacker is far more intelligent to hack the security. There are main two types of hackers that are different from each other on the basis of their purpose. The one who tries to break the computer system’s security with malicious intention is known as bad hacker or cracker. The other one who has good purpose is known as ethical hacker because he uses his skills to provide security to sensitive data of big firms.In this paper I describe the types of Hackers,Ethical hacking,typesof Hacking attacks and Hacking tools. Keywords: Ethical hackers, Hacking, cracker. I. INTRODUCTION: hardware as well as software. Hacker is a computer dedicated and expert in a programming language, security, and networks. As the computer technology enhances, it has its darker side He is kind of person who loves to gain knowledge ofdifferent also. In modern era the need of the internet is growing rapidly. technologies, details of the computer system and enhances his Enormous amount of data is moving online, therefore, data capability and skills. -
No One's Mother, I Am Her Daughter
Teresa Reilly Keesan No One’s Mother, I Am Her Daughter When I was ten, my mother walked by my bedroom with a basket of dirty laundry and saw me flip the light switch off with my elbow. She paused at my door. She’d told me to clean up my floor, and now glanced at the mess heaped too high in my own arms; grubby clothes, plastic cups, toys. “You’ll make a great mother one day.” She grabbed the socks off the top half of my pile and moved on. Her observation stuck with me as I grew through puberty. I treasured it—you’ll make a great mother one day—proud that, at an early age, I was pre-disposed to a natural grasp of requisite mom-skills. I always pictured myself one day looking like her: constantly exhausted, half-adventurous and half-frustrated, cooking the same pesto pasta every night before two girls’ dance classes, and springing together, like magic, Christmas on a shoestring budget. I wanted to be that. And I crowed inwardly: I’m a hand- less multi-tasker, undoubtedly ordained to be a formidable mother one day too. True to that description, Mom cast no illusions. Little girls are encouraged to dream big about becoming a mother and dream hard for it. My own made it clear that motherhood was three-fourths treacherous and should be strenuously avoided until called upon. In high school, when I fell in love with a brown-eyed guitar-playing hippie from Western Pennsylvania named Lucas, my mother warned me about conception, gripping the steering wheel on the ride home from my first gynecologist appointment, “Don’t do anything we’ll have to fix later.” That terrified me into abstinence for a long, long time. -

Black Hat Hacker White Hat Hacker Gray Hat Hacker
Crackers or Malicious Hackers: System crackers attempt to access computing facilities for which they have not been authorized. Cracking a computer's defenses is seen as the ultimate victimless crime. The perception is that nobody is hurt or even endangered by a little stolen machine time. Crackers enjoy the simple challenge of trying to log in, just to see whether it can be done. Most crackers can do their harm without confronting anybody, not even making a sound. In the absence of explicit warnings not to trespass in a system, crackers infer that access is permitted. Others attack for curiosity, personal gain, or self-satisfaction. And still others enjoy causing chaos, loss, or harm. There is no common profile or motivation for these attackers. Classification of Hackers: Hackers can be classified broadly into three different categories: 1. Black Hat Hacker 2. White Hat Hacker 3. Grey Hat Hacker Black Hat Hacker Black-hat Hackers are also known as an Unethical Hacker or a Security Cracker. These people hack the system illegally to steal money or to achieve their own illegal goals. They find banks or other companies with weak security and steal money or credit card information. They can also modify or destroy the data as well. Black hat hacking is illegal. White Hat Hacker White hat Hackers are also known as Ethical Hackers or a Penetration Tester. White hat hackers are the good guys of the hacker world. These people use the same technique used by the black hat hackers. They also hack the system, but they can only hack the system that they have permission to hack in order to test the security of the system. -
Address Munging: the Practice of Disguising, Or Munging, an E-Mail Address to Prevent It Being Automatically Collected and Used
Address Munging: the practice of disguising, or munging, an e-mail address to prevent it being automatically collected and used as a target for people and organizations that send unsolicited bulk e-mail address. Adware: or advertising-supported software is any software package which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertising material to a computer after the software is installed on it or while the application is being used. Some types of adware are also spyware and can be classified as privacy-invasive software. Adware is software designed to force pre-chosen ads to display on your system. Some adware is designed to be malicious and will pop up ads with such speed and frequency that they seem to be taking over everything, slowing down your system and tying up all of your system resources. When adware is coupled with spyware, it can be a frustrating ride, to say the least. Backdoor: in a computer system (or cryptosystem or algorithm) is a method of bypassing normal authentication, securing remote access to a computer, obtaining access to plaintext, and so on, while attempting to remain undetected. The backdoor may take the form of an installed program (e.g., Back Orifice), or could be a modification to an existing program or hardware device. A back door is a point of entry that circumvents normal security and can be used by a cracker to access a network or computer system. Usually back doors are created by system developers as shortcuts to speed access through security during the development stage and then are overlooked and never properly removed during final implementation. -
Web Security School Article #1
Know your enemy: Why your Web site is at risk By Michael Cobb To the tag line for the Internet -- “Build it and they will come” -- I would add “...and try to crack it, deface it, abuse it, break it and steal it.” Hackers have more resources and time than even the largest organizations, and they don't suffer from the usual organizational constraints, such as office politics and budgets, that security practitioners face. In fact, hackers can show an almost enviable example of online collaboration, sharing information in order to achieve a result. This article will help you understand the tools, tactics and motives of the black hat community so that you have a better appreciation of the threats to your Web site and the system it runs on, and the importance of protecting them. Statistics to keep you awake at night In a test conducted over a two-week period in September 2004 by USA TODAY, there were 305,922 attempts to break into six computers connected to the Internet. The attacks literally began as soon as the computers went online, averaging more than 300 per hour against both a Windows XP Service Pack 1 machine with no firewall and an Apple Macintosh. There were more than 60 attacks per hour against a Windows Small Business Server. During the test, both of the Windows-based machines were compromised. These figures show how active the hacker community is. Any computer connected to the Internet is at risk, particularly a Web server. Although e-commerce Web sites receive more targeted attacks than any other type of Web site, it is no longer a question of if, but when your site will be probed. -

Reporting, and General Mentions Seem to Be in Decline
CYBER THREAT ANALYSIS Return to Normalcy: False Flags and the Decline of International Hacktivism By Insikt Group® CTA-2019-0821 CYBER THREAT ANALYSIS Groups with the trappings of hacktivism have recently dumped Russian and Iranian state security organization records online, although neither have proclaimed themselves to be hacktivists. In addition, hacktivism has taken a back seat in news reporting, and general mentions seem to be in decline. Insikt Group utilized the Recorded FutureⓇ Platform and reports of historical hacktivism events to analyze the shifting targets and players in the hacktivism space. The target audience of this research includes security practitioners whose enterprises may be targets for hacktivism. Executive Summary Hacktivism often brings to mind a loose collective of individuals globally that band together to achieve a common goal. However, Insikt Group research demonstrates that this is a misleading assumption; the hacktivist landscape has consistently included actors reacting to regional events, and has also involved states operating under the guise of hacktivism to achieve geopolitical goals. In the last 10 years, the number of large-scale, international hacking operations most commonly associated with hacktivism has risen astronomically, only to fall off just as dramatically after 2015 and 2016. This constitutes a return to normalcy, in which hacktivist groups are usually small sets of regional actors targeting specific organizations to protest regional events, or nation-state groups operating under the guise of hacktivism. Attack vectors used by hacktivist groups have remained largely consistent from 2010 to 2019, and tooling has assisted actors to conduct larger-scale attacks. However, company defenses have also become significantly better in the last decade, which has likely contributed to the decline in successful hacktivist operations. -
Attacker Behaviour Forecasting Using Methods of Intelligent Data Analysis: a Comparative Review and Prospects
information Review Attacker Behaviour Forecasting Using Methods of Intelligent Data Analysis: A Comparative Review and Prospects Elena Doynikova 1,*, Evgenia Novikova 1,2 and Igor Kotenko 1 1 St. Petersburg Institute for Informatics and Automation of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg 199178, Russia; [email protected] (E.N.); [email protected] (I.K.) 2 Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University “LETI”, Department of computer science and technology, St. Petersburg 197022, Russia * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 18 February 2020; Accepted: 16 March 2020; Published: 23 March 2020 Abstract: Early detection of the security incidents and correct forecasting of the attack development is the basis for the efficient and timely response to cyber threats. The development of the attack depends on future steps available to the attackers, their goals, and their motivation—that is, the attacker “profile” that defines the malefactor behaviour in the system. Usually, the “attacker profile” is a set of attacker’s attributes—both inner such as motives and skills, and external such as existing financial support and tools used. The definition of the attacker’s profile allows determining the type of the malefactor and the complexity of the countermeasures, and may significantly simplify the attacker attribution process when investigating security incidents. The goal of the paper is to analyze existing techniques of the attacker’s behaviour, the attacker’ profile specifications, and their application for the forecasting of the attack future steps. The implemented analysis allowed outlining the main advantages and limitations of the approaches to attack forecasting and attacker’s profile constructing, existing challenges, and prospects in the area. -
