What is hacking?
Hacking
is a process where someone enters a computer or computer network without any
valid permission. Those who hack are hackers. Almost all of you know this.
Almost all of us know that hacking is just hacking a website and many people
think hacking means just hacking computers or computer networks, is that really
so?
No,
it's not. Hacking can be of many types. Your mobile phone, land phone, car
tracking, various electronics and digital devices are also covered by hacking
if they are used without valid permission.
Hackers usually find fault with these electronics devices and hack them.
Now let's see who the hacker is or what?
Hacker:
The person who practice hacking is called a hacker. They know all the
information about the structure, functioning, how they work, and how they will
hack the system. Earlier computers were not so prevalent then hackers used to
hack phones. Phone calls were called Phreaker and this process Phreaking
called. They hacked and used various telecommunication systems for their own
needs.
There are three types of hackers:
Let's
say hackers are identified with Hat or hats.
- White hat hacker
- Grey hat hacker
- Black hat hacker
White
hat hacker: Everyone thinks hacking is a bad thing, right? No hacking is not a
very bad thing to do. White hat hacker hackers prove that hacking is not a bad
thing. For example, a white hat hacker detects errors in a security system and
quickly reports errors to the owner of that security system. This time the
security system can be a computer, a website on a computer network, a software,
etc.
Grey
hat hacker: Grey hat hacker are two-faced snakes. Let's explain why I'm saying
it now. When they find faults with a security system, he will act as he
pleases. He will do what his mind wants at that time. He can report or damage
information or view information on the owner of that security system if he
wishes. Again, he can use it for his own interests. Most of the hackers falls
under this category.
Black
hat hacker: And the most dangerous hacker is this Black hat hacker. When they
find faults in a security system, they quickly exploit the error for their own
sake. Destroys that system. Spreads different viruses. He keeps his way so that
he can enter the future again. After all, he also tries to get into the
subsystems under that system.
Hackers
are the most intelligent people is recognized or known to all. Many good
hackers have never done any bad hacking in life. But they did a hacking to get
trapped or get angry with someone. Then which category will you find him in? He
is Grey hat hacker too because his hacking depends on his will or thoughts.
Below, I will introduce you to a few other types of hawkers:
Anarchists:
Anarchists are hackers who like to break different computer secure systems or
any other system. They work to find opportunities for any target.
Crackers:
Sometimes harmful hackers are called crackers. Bad hackers are crackers. Their
shock or profession is to break the various sort of password and create Trojan
Horses and create other harmful software. (Are you one of them? So, you're the
king of hacking) harmful software are called Warez. They use or sell these
harmful software for their own benefit.
Script
kiddies: They are not real hackers. They have no real knowledge of hacking.
They download or buy various Warez and then use hacking.
Hackers hacking in many ways. I'm discussing a few types of hacking:
Pissing: Almost everyone knows
something about Pissing. I'm sharing some links below to get to know better if
you read them and protect your-self from hacked.
Denial
of Service attack: Denial of Service attack is a process of DoS Attack in short
where hackers break into a network and destroy its power without getting any
access. DoS Attack increases the tariff of a net connection or router.
Trojan
Horses: Is a program that destroys other programs. It is known as virus. Using
Trojan Horses, other programs are able to access damaged dice passwords or
other information to hackers.
Back
Doors: Back Doors are searched and hackers use a system. Back Doors are
administrative easy roads, configuration mistakes, easily understood passwords,
and unreserved dial-ups connections, etc. They find out these errors with the
help of computers. It uses a network other than these and other weak places.
Rogue Access Points: Hackers use Rogue Access Points to access a wireless network.
Some of the most popular tricks to avoid hacking:
- Avoid downloading or using unknown software even if it is used by your friend (not all friends, don't trust them again). If a software is downloaded first, make a suggestion about it on the net search.
- Check the sat address thoroughly when logging in to a site. Avoid logging in with links from mail.If you are a developer, you must have better knowledge of security from the average user.
- Always give passwords more than 8 digits. Key generator software can break more digit passwords with ordinary computers. Avoid giving passwords with as many numbers as you can. And now Unicode supports almost all sites, so if you use a word, use the word of the country yourself which is easier for you to remember. Don't think I'm asking you to use words. Avoid using as many words as you can. Say No English words completely.
- And refrain from logging in to unfamiliar sites.
