What is Hacking???
Hacking is unauthorized use of computer
and network resources. (The term
"hacker" originally meant a very gifted
programmer. In recent years though, with
easier access to multiple systems, it now
has negative implications.)

Script Kiddies or Cyber-Punks: Between age
12-30; bored in school; get caught due to
bragging online .
Professional Criminals or Crackers: Make a
living by breaking into systems and selling the
information.
Coders and Virus Writers: These have strong
programming background and write code but
won’t use it themselves; have their own
networks called “zoos”; leave it to others to
release their code into “The Wild” or Internet.

What do Hackersdo?
A few examples of Web application hacks
File Query

Pages with sensitive data should not be
cached: page content is easily accessed
using browser’s history
7.
Cookies and URLs
Sensitive data in cookies and URLs?
Issues that arise are:
Information is stored on a local computer (as files
or in the browser’s history)
Unencrypted data can be intercepted on the
network and/or logged into unprotected web log
files
8.
SQL Injection Attacks
SQL injection is a security vulnerability
that occurs in the database layer of an
application. Its source is the incorrect
escaping of dynamically-generated string
literals embedded in SQL statements.
9.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Attacks
Malicious code can secretly gather
sensitive data from user while using
authentic website (login, password,
cookie)

by ethical hackers to discover the harmed
existing in information systems’ of operating
environments.”
With the growth of the Internet, computer security has
become a major concern for businesses and

ways to evaluate the unwanted threat to their
interests would be to have independent computer

computer systems.

software provided by the more popular computer and networking
hardware vendors.

What do EthicalHackers do?
An ethical hacker’s evaluation of a system’s security
seeks answers to these basic questions:
What can an intruder see on the target systems?
What can an intruder do with that information?
Does anyone at the target notice the intruder’s at
tempts or successes?
What are you trying to protect?
What are you trying to protect against?
How much time, effort, and money are you willing to
expend to obtain adequate protection?
