Editor's Notes
- Mistaken, Misunderstood and Misinterpreted - those words describe the current knowledge of Hacking & Cyber Security in our school. We need to understand and talk more about these topics because as we move into the future, the technological field will be hugely dominating with artificial intelligence and smart assistants being a part of our daily life. That’s exactly why I’m here today - to clarify Cyber Security & Hacking.
- Assalamu Alaykum! My name is Zayed Munir. I’m currently in Grade 8 / Year 9 and I’m currently studying for my CCNA, A+, Network+ and Security+ Certifications. I’ve always had an interest in technology and today I’m here to give a speech about Cyber Security and Hacking – one of my passions -. You can also find me at @imzayed_ on Instagram.
- The topics that I will cover in this session are: What is Cyber Security? Why is Cyber Security Important? 5 Main Types of Cyber Security How can we protect ourselves? What is Malicious Hacking? What is Ethical Hacking? Why is Ethical Hacking Important? I will also demonstrate what a Phishing Attack looks like
- Let’s start off with talking about Cyber Security.
- - First things first, What is Cyber Security? - Read off. - Now, what does this mean? Let me elaborate more. - Cyber Security talks about the protection of any smart device including computers, your smartphones, your tablets, networks, etc. It teaches you about the dangers on the web. - It acts like a vaccine against a plague of malicious hackers.
- - Why is Cyber Security Important? - Read Off. - Buy Something online (Man-in-the-middle or Phishing), you wouldn’t even know. - I know what you’re thinking. You’re just kids, in what case would you need to purchase an item online? - This isn’t only about purchasing items online. - Let’s say you were to play a game or use social media but you need to sign up. - Someone could launch a social engineering attack on you. - The attacker tries to get your information through the social engineering attacks and steals all your personal information. - This is why learning about Cyber Security is important. To protect ourselves and others.
- These are the 5 main types of Cyber Security. I’ll briefly explain each of these. Critical infrastructure security, Basically, Critical infrastructure security is the protection of systems, networks and assets whose continuous operation and monitoring is required. - Critical infrastructure security is very essential to us. - Imagine DEWA, SEWA or other utility companies which provide us 24/7 services have a very important network; - Etisalat, Du Attack. So, there will be a break in the chain of services for a common person or even huge companies. - So, that is the reason that Critical infrastructure security is very important, and we need to protect this critical infrastructure. And this critical infrastructure can be protected through various layers and policies. Application Security, Application security is the process of adding and developing security features within applications to prevent security vulnerabilities. Network Security, Network Security protects your network and data from breaches, intrusions and other threats. Cloud Security, Cloud security refers to a lot of technologies, applications, and controls utilized to protect cloud computers. Some common cloud providers are Amazon AWS or Google Cloud. IoT Security, IoT security is the practice that keeps your IoT systems safe. IoT devices are devices such as: Smart Assistants, Smart Thermostats and Smart Light Bulbs.
- - Moving On, Let’s talk about how we can protect ourselves online. - We should start off with limiting the personal information you share online (any personal information that could be confidential.) - Next, DON’T share PINs or Passwords (key to getting information out of you.) - Imagine if someone had your online banking credentials. That could be horrible. - Another point is to never ever click on links that have been sent from an anonymous sender or from someone you don’t know. (Phishing) - Always check the links to see if they use HTTPS and the website is secured. If the website is HTTPS secured, it doesn’t mean the website is safe; It just basically means that your connection is encrypted. - Always use 2 factor authentication; This can come is formats such as receiving an OTP as an SMS or Call or even using an authenticator application such as Google Authenticator. - I also want to really stress this point. DON’T USE VPNs. VPNs bypass certain ports such as port 500, port 802, port 480 or 408. These ports are essential for network security, and VPNs open these ports. Let me explain this. - Let’s say you have a wall (firewall) that’s protecting you. Now let’s say you made a hole in that wall. Anyone can come through that hole and attack you. VPNs open these “holes” to the internet and anyone on the internet has free access to go through that hole and look at your network traffic. A VPN (typically free ones) expose and sell your data to the world wide web. - If you ever sign up to a website that doesn’t need much information from you; such as: a gaming website or a social media website. You don’t need to share much information with them at all. - Also, remember to never click suspicious links or open suspicious emails and to never visit a site unless you have to. - Additionally, remember to always use an anti-virus on your device and a firewall on your network.
- I know you all have been waiting for this, so now, let’s move onto Hacking.
- What is Malicious Hacking? Read off. These are the “hackers” that you’ve probably heard about. They are called Malicious Hackers, also known as Black Hat Hackers. These types of hackers try to steal, damage and sell your data, or they can even bring your whole network down through a DOS or DDOS attack. These hackers, are bad. Really bad. Malicious hackers are really dangerous if they have the right mindset and tools. They can do whatever they want and you probably wouldn’t even realize. An example of this, is someone creating an browser exploitation link and sharing the link with you. You open the link. Boom! They now have control of your browser. Yes, just by clicking a link.
- What is Ethical Hacking? Read Off. Let me explain. Ethical Hacking is when you get requested by an organization to hack them to test their security. So, you have permission to hack them and you try to put yourselves into Malicious hackers’ shoes by using the same type of attacks they would use to test the organization’s security. They might want you to test their security to protect against malicious hackers also known as black hat hackers. This is often referred to as Pen Testing or Penetration Testing. A lot of people choose Ethical Hacking as their field and they help secure a network or a computer system. They launch attacks and try to understand the vulnerabilities of the network and systems and help improve the security and reduce the amount of vulnerabilities.
- Why is Ethical Hacking Important? Read Off. Ethical Hacking is very important because without it, we would have the most unsecure networks and systems. Could you imagine everyone being able to see what you’re doing on the internet? Anyone could just steal your data or damage your systems. You wouldn’t want that, would you? Ethical Hacking is probably one of the most important fields in the world. Because of Ethical Hacking, we are able to safely browse the web.
- Now, I am going to give a demonstration on a Phishing website using a tool called Blackeye and Kali Linux.
- Does anyone have any questions? Thank you so much for the attention and have a good day. Jazakallahu Kharian
