 HACKERS & CRACKERS
 DEFINITION
 COMPUTER HACKING
 SERVER HACKING
 WEBSITE HACKING
 PROTECTION.
 HACKERS : One who is proficient at using or
programming a computer.
 Authorized person

 CRACKERS : One who uses programming


skills to gain illegal access to a computer
network or file.

 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM.


 Hacking is unauthorized use of computer and
network resources.
 When it is done by request and under a
contract between an ethical hacker and an
organization, it's OK.
 Break Into Other Person’s Computer.
 TWO TYPES.
 Trying to access its file.
 Trying to access or damage it through a virus.

CONT
 Wherever you go in the internet you leave
trail behind you.
 ISP can log all the actions you perform on the
internet because they carry out all your online
actions.
 Any Website you visit can detect it by IP
ADDRESS. It is also attached to any
information you send over the internet
including E-mail & in Chat rooms.
 Any Website you visit on the internet and e-mail address
you use is stored on a server.

 If you break into a hosting server you could do things


such as changing thousands of big company websites
into pointless pages, or more beneficially if the
company is selling a product online, collect visitors
credit card no. & other details. Most hackers are
eventually caught but if a server offers server side
access, used for items such as guest books, & for
submission , it is possible to target.
 HOW DOES IT HAPPEN?
 It tends to happen when scripts are being run
in server side language & password are not
encrypted or data is not protected.
 They do this by running some code to trick
the script into revealing the password.
 It is very serious inexcusable.
 It is simply trying to break into a site unauthorized.
Webmasters can use encryption to prevent this.
 Methods of protection include JavaScript, asp, php but
most other server-side languages can also be used.
 JavaScript protection has never been secure, if you are
looking at the source to find the password to client-side
protection, you will probably not have any problem
finding the password unless it is encrypted.
 MOST POPULAR SITES ARE LISTED
BELOW.
 [Link]
 [Link]
 [Link]
 [Link]
 Here [Link] is a ip address of
[Link]
 To open it write http:// [Link] in
Address bar.
 1. Stop using Internet Explorer and make the switch to
Firefox, it's more secure, plain and simple.
 2. Get Spybot Search and Destroy and immediately
update it.
 3. Get Adaware SE and immediately update it.
 4. Update your antivirus.
 5. Boot into safe mode and run all three scans.
 6. If or when your antivirus scan comes across anything,
search for that file name in your registry and delete it.
 7. Once you can get clean scans in safe mode,
reboot in normal mode and scan all over
again.
