This document discusses opportunities, challenges, and the power of media and information. It provides examples of how media can inspire people and empower citizens through faster communication, while also discussing challenges like fake news and unreliable sources. The document also explores the economic impact of industries like news and film production, and how media can be used for educational purposes through applications and social networks that allow sharing information.
This document discusses social engineering and why organizations should use it. Social engineering involves using psychological manipulation to trick people into revealing confidential information. It works because people are inherently lazy, want to help, and are curious. The document outlines common social engineering techniques like phishing, impersonation, and physical security compromises. It recommends that organizations conduct social engineering assessments of their own employees to identify vulnerabilities and provide ongoing training. Regular social engineering tests can help educate employees and strengthen an organization's security over time.
Social engineering involves manipulating people into revealing confidential information through psychological tricks. Attackers use tactics like establishing trust, playing on emotions like fear or curiosity, or pretending to have technical expertise to obtain information like passwords, financial details, or other personal data. Common targets are employees who may unintentionally compromise security. The impacts of social engineering can be significant, such as the $80 million bank hacking in Bangladesh. Individuals and organizations can protect themselves through security awareness training, strong password management, two-factor authentication, and limiting the personal information shared online.
Social Engineering - Human aspects of industrial and economic espionageMarin Ivezic
Social engineering is not just a supporting process to obtain system access; it could be the main attack. Organizations that focus only on a narrow definition of social engineering as an attack vector to obtain system access will fail to create awareness of all other possible social engineering attack methods.
This document discusses social engineering and its threats. Social engineering refers to manipulating people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. It is a significant threat because existing computer security technologies do not protect against human vulnerabilities. Common social engineering attacks include phishing emails, vishing phone calls, leaving infected USB drives in parking lots, and impersonating maintenance workers. The document demonstrates real examples of vishing attacks and provides tips for preventing social engineering, such as verifying identities of people requesting information. However, it notes that fully preventing social engineering attacks can be difficult due to human factors.
Social Engineering - Are You Protecting Your Data Enough?JamRivera1
Social engineering involves deceiving people into providing private information through manipulation. Common social engineering attacks include phishing scams by email or phone that try to steal login credentials. Other methods are shoulder surfing to see passwords, dumpster diving to find sensitive trash, and tailgating to access restricted areas. Social engineering works because people are inclined to trust authority, follow social proof, reciprocate kindness, and make decisions based on scarcity and distractions. Protecting against social engineering requires vigilance, secure disposal of documents, awareness of manipulation tactics, and escalating any suspicious requests for information.
This document discusses cybercrimes and cybercriminals. It defines cybercrime as a computer-oriented crime that threatens privacy, security and reliability in the virtual world. Some common cybercrimes include cyberbullying, cyber extortion, phishing, identity theft, and different types of online scams. The document also categorizes cybercriminals and hackers, distinguishing between non-professionals like script kiddies, social workers like hacktivists, professionals like white hat and red hat hackers, and criminals like cyber terrorists and black hat hackers. Insider threats from current and former employees are also addressed. Different hacking techniques like social engineering are outlined.
Social engineering-Attack of the Human BehaviorJames Krusic
Social engineering exploits human behavior and trust to gain access to sensitive information. It includes technical attacks like phishing emails and pop-up windows, as well as non-technical attacks like dumpster diving. Common human behaviors exploited include curiosity, fear, and thoughtlessness. To help mitigate social engineering risks, organizations should educate employees, implement security policies, conduct audits, and use technical defenses like email filters and firewalls. Regular awareness training can help motivate employees to follow best practices.
Social engineering is the use of deception to manipulate people into divulging confidential information. It relies on human tendencies to trust others and takes advantage of "the weak link" in security - users. There are two categories of social engineering attacks: technology-based approaches that deceive users into thinking they are interacting with real systems, and non-technical approaches using deception alone. Common tactics include phishing emails, phone calls (vishing), pretending to be technical support, and observing users (shoulder surfing). Organizations can help prevent social engineering by having security policies, training employees, and monitoring compliance.

Social Engineering - Human aspects of grey and black competitive intelligence. What is social engineering? How it is used in the context of competitive intelligence and industrial espionage? How to recognize HUMINT / social engineering attacks? Which governments are known to use it?
The document discusses social engineering techniques and defenses against them. It defines social engineering as manipulating people into revealing sensitive information through deception. Various social engineering methods are described, including in-person manipulation, phone calls, emails, and fake websites. It explains how social engineers use techniques like impersonation, building rapport, and exploiting human tendencies to make targets feel obligated or conform to social pressures. The document recommends defenses like user education, identity verification protocols for customer support, and having an incident response plan to address social engineering attacks. The goal is to help organizations strengthen their "human firewall" against this threat.
Social engineering is manipulating people into revealing confidential information through deception rather than technical hacking methods. It includes techniques like quid pro quo, phishing, baiting, pretexting, and diversion theft. Famous social engineer Kevin Mitnick emphasized that people inherently want to be helpful and trustworthy, making them vulnerable. Training and policies can help prevent social engineering by raising awareness of common tactics and restricting disclosure of private information. The human element remains the weakest link despite strong technical security defenses.
Companies are generally very good at protecting themselves against external attacks, but only rarely do they guard themselves against internal attacks. By using what’s known as ‘Social Engineering’, hackers exploit unsuspecting people who in good faith open up their doors to unwanted strangers.
Social engineering, or SE, is the art of manipulating people into performing actions or so they give up confidential information. Social Engineering can mean different things to different people.
This document discusses social engineering techniques such as exploiting human traits like fear, anxiety, and trust to elicit information that can be used to steal data, access systems, or manipulate others. It provides examples of common social engineering attacks like phishing and pretexting calls. It also outlines defenses against social engineering like implementing least privilege access, strong password policies, and security awareness training.
This presentation provides an overview of ethical hacking. It defines hacking and distinguishes ethical hacking from other types. Ethical hacking involves authorized testing of systems to find vulnerabilities, while white hat hackers help protect systems and black hat hackers use skills illegally. The presentation describes ethical hackers as experts who test security systems to find weaknesses without causing harm. It outlines advantages like revealing flaws discreetly and discusses securing networks by changing passwords, limiting access, and using encryption and firewalls.
The document discusses ethical hacking, which involves legally penetrating systems and networks to identify potential security weaknesses for clients. It describes the main stages of a penetration test as footprinting, scanning, gaining access, maintaining access, and clearing tracks. Footprinting involves gathering information about a target system like IP addresses and services. Scanning locates alive systems and identifies vulnerabilities. Gaining access techniques include password cracking or installing keyloggers. Maintaining access aims to avoid detection through hiding logs or installing rootkits. Ethical hackers aim to answer what an intruder can see/do and if attempts are noticed. Famous white hat hackers are also listed.

The document discusses ethical hacking, which involves identifying security vulnerabilities in systems with the owner's permission in order to improve security. It notes that while hacking originally just meant highly skilled programming, it now has negative connotations due to increased system access. Ethical hackers help organizations by finding security holes before criminals can exploit them. The document outlines different types of hackers and attacks, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting. It emphasizes the importance of ethical hackers working within legal and ethical guidelines to avoid misusing access or violating privacy.
1. The document discusses the topic of ethical hacking and defines it as "methodology adopted by ethical hackers to discover the vulnerabilities existing in information systems’ operating environments."
2. Ethical hackers are independent computer security professionals who break into computer systems to evaluate security without damaging systems or stealing information.
3. The document outlines different types of attacks ethical hackers may perform such as insider attacks, outsider attacks, and social engineering attacks to evaluate a target system's security and vulnerabilities.
Its all about rise of internet and increasing use of ethical hackers.

There are different types of hackers categorized by their intentions and methods:
1. White hat hackers legally hack to expose vulnerabilities and help organizations improve security.
2. Black hat hackers illegally hack with malicious intent to steal data or cause harm.
3. Grey hat hackers operate in a middle ground, sometimes hacking legally to expose issues but their methods may still be considered unauthorized access.
Types of hacking programs include trojan horses, computer viruses, and computer worms, which can spread maliciously or be used to gain unauthorized access. Popular hacker culture is also depicted in cyberpunk novels and films.
There are three main types of hackers: black hats, white hats, and gray hats. Black hat hackers illegally compromise security systems for personal gain or malicious purposes. White hat hackers ethically test security systems to help organizations by reporting vulnerabilities. Gray hat hackers fall between black and white hats, sometimes illegally accessing systems without permission but not for malicious ends.

Common hacking tools and techniques are also outlined, along with penetration testing distributions like Kali Linux.
The document discusses ethical hacking and describes hackers. It defines ethical hacking as evaluating a system's security vulnerabilities by attempting to break into computer systems. Ethical hackers possess strong programming and networking skills and detailed hardware/software knowledge. They evaluate systems by determining what intruders can access, what they can do with that information, and if intruder attempts can be detected. The document outlines different types of hackers and classes them as black hats, white hats, gray hats, and ethical hackers based on their motivations and how they use their skills.
Hacking refers to unauthorized access to computer systems or networks. There are different types of hackers, including black hat (malicious), white hat (ethical), and grey hat hackers. Ethical hacking involves legally testing systems for vulnerabilities to help organizations strengthen security. It can assess wireless, application, and network security. While hacking can enable privacy violations and system damage, ethical hacking helps identify issues and prevent unauthorized access. It is an important practice with a growing scope due to increasing cyber threats.
module 3 Cyber Risks and Incident Management.pptxGautam708801
This document provides an overview of cyber risks and incident management. It discusses types of hackers like black hat, white hat, and grey hat hackers. It covers cyberattacks, vulnerabilities, critical security components, and the dark web and deep web. It also addresses incident management, governance and compliance, cybersecurity design, maintaining resilience, security operation centers, digital forensics, cyber risks, cyber insurance, network security, cloud security, and application security.
The document provides a history of hacking from the 1960s to the late 1990s. It describes how the original meaning of "hack" referred to clever programming at MIT. It discusses early phone phreaks and the discovery that a toy whistle could be used to hack phone systems. Over time, hacking groups formed, magazines were published, and laws were passed to criminalize hacking activities. Famous hackers like Kevin Mitnick were arrested. By the late 1990s, hacking became more serious and targeted major websites and banks. The document then defines terms like hackers, crackers, and ethical hackers who perform authorized security assessments.
Application of computer to legal practice (hacking)Solomon Oho
Hacking originated in the 1950s and 1960s among engineers at MIT who used it for technical experiments and learning. Over time, some began using these skills for malicious purposes. There are three main types of hackers: black hat hackers use their skills criminally for personal gain; white hat hackers test security systems ethically under contract; and gray hat hackers sometimes hack legally and illegally, but not for profit. Hacking now often refers to criminal computer attacks, though it began as harmless experiments.
Hackers can be classified into four main categories: white hats, black hats, grey hats, and script kiddies. White hats perform hacking for ethical purposes like security testing, black hats hack maliciously for personal gain, grey hats fall in between, and script kiddies use automated tools without proper understanding. Common hacking techniques include brute force attacks, dictionary attacks, spoofing/phishing, social engineering, trojan horses, keylogging, and computer worms.
- There is disagreement around the definition of a hacker, as some see them as destructive while others see hacking as a challenge and way to innovate.
- Hackers can be classified as white hat (ethical), black hat (malicious), or grey hat (in between). Common hacker attack methods include denial of service attacks, buffer overflows, and exploiting security holes.
- Information can be collected through sniffing networks, social engineering, and finding wireless networks. Famous hackers include Kevin Mitnick, Gary McKinnon, and Adrian Lamo.

Hacking refers to activities aimed at exploiting security flaws to obtain unauthorized access to secured networks and personal information, often for malicious purposes. A brief history outlines some notable early hackers and exploits from the late 19th century to the early 2000s. Hackers are categorized as white hat (non-malicious), grey hat (beyond malicious intent), black hat (malicious with intent to harm), or script kiddies (non-experts using automated tools). Famous hackers like Kevin Mitnick, Kevin Poulsen, and Adrian Lamo are discussed in relation to their hacking activities and categorization. Ethical hacking is defined as a methodology to discover vulnerabilities by having professionals attempt authorized access to computer systems to evaluate security threats
Hacking refers to unauthorized intrusion into computer systems or networks. There are different types of hackers, including white hat hackers who test security systems for non-malicious purposes, black hat hackers who violate security for personal gain or maliciousness, grey hat hackers who find and report vulnerabilities but may also exploit systems, elite hackers who are highly skilled, and script kiddies who use pre-existing automated tools without fully understanding hacking concepts.

How has the perception of the hacker changed over recent years? What is the profile of a hacker today?
We can look at the time line of the word “Hack”
June 1959 – Peter R. Samson of the Tech Model Railroad Club of MIT Publishes “AN ABRIDGED DICTIONARY of the TMRC LANGUAGE.” It contains the first verifiable modern source of the word hacker.
November 20, 1963 – MIT’s newspaper, The Tech, publishes the first documented use of hacker in journalism.
September 5, 1977 – Time Magazine publishes the first documented use of “hacker” in the mainstream press.
August 1, 1980 – Psychology Today publishes “The Hacker Papers”
May 6, 1981 – Possibly the first surviving, documented USENET post of the word hacker.
July 2, 1981 – The first documented use in a newspaper of the word hacker.
December 4, 1984 – The word hacker is documented to be spoken for the first time on television, by Ted Koppel.
According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of hacker is:
1. One that hacks
2. A person who is inexperienced or unskilled at a particular activity
3. An expert at programming and solving problems with a computer
4. A person who illegally gains access to and sometimes tampers with information in a computer system
So, lets look at Definition # 3 and #4. There are Three Types of Hackers:
1. White Hat Hacker
a. Is an Ethical computer hacker, or a computer security expert, who specializes in penetration testing and in other testing methodologies that ensures the security of an organization’s information systems.
b. Ethical hacking is an increasingly accepted and legitimate profession. Therefore, be careful not to treat an ethical hacker like a former (or current) criminal.
c. While the nature of their duties is historically “bad,” that doesn’t warrant a set of guidelines separate from their coworkers.
d. Doing so makes an already traditionally solitary role even more isolating and could make them feel like they are doing something wrong when they are actually helping your business.
2. Grey Hat Hacker
a. A computer hacker or computer security expert who may sometimes violate laws or typical ethical standards, but does not have the malicious intent typical of a black hat hacker.
b. Gray Hats frequently hack systems without approval or authorization from a principal enterprise, usually to prove they can, but then usually notify the system or network owner or vendor of any discovered weakness.
3. Black Hat Hacker
a. A person who attempts to find computer security vulnerabilities and exploit them for personal financial gain or other malicious reasons.
b. They can inflict major damage on both individual computer users and large organizations by stealing personal financial information, compromising the security of major systems, or shutting down or altering the function of websites and networks.
c. The growth of the black hat community simply as a byproduct of a growing society; as any society grows past a certain limit, a dark side emerges.
d. Black hat ...
- The document discusses different types of hackers including black hat, white hat, and grey hat hackers. Black hat hackers break into networks or computers maliciously, while white hat hackers perform security testing in a legal and ethical manner.
- It also outlines hacker attack methods such as denial-of-service attacks and buffer overflows. Hackers may collect information using techniques like sniffing and social engineering.
- Famous hackers mentioned include Kevin Mitnick, Gary McKinnon, and Robert Tappan Morris. The document discusses disagreement around the definition of a hacker and classifications hackers based on their motives and methods.
This document discusses hackers and ethical hacking. It defines hackers as computer enthusiasts who use their skills for both legal and illegal purposes. Ethical hackers are employed by companies to test security vulnerabilities, while black-hat and grey-hat hackers engage in unauthorized hacking activities. The document outlines different types of hackers and their roles, as well as tools used in ethical hacking like Sam Spade to gather host information. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of understanding hacking techniques to strengthen security and prevent unauthorized access.

2. What is the meaning of ethical ?
• being in accordance with the rules or standards for right
conduct or practice, especially the standards of a profession :
It was not considered ethical for physicians to advertise.
3. What is hacking?
• gain unauthorized access to data in a system or computer.
• During the 1990s, the term "hacker" originally denoted a skilled
programmer proficient in machine code and computer operating systems.
In particular, these individuals could always hack on an unsatisfactory
system to solve problems and engage in a little software company
espionage by interpreting a competitor's code.
• Unfortunately, some of these hackers also became experts at accessing
password-protected computers, files, and networks and came to known as
"crackers." Of course, an effective and dangerous "cracker" must be a good
hacker and the terms became intertwined. Hacker won out in popular use
and in the media and today refers to anyone who performs some form of
computer sabotage.
4. The History Of Hacking
• It all began in the 1960s at MIT, origin of the term “hacker”, where extremely skilled individuals practiced hardcore
programming in FORTRAN and other older languages. Some may ignorantly dub them “nerds” or “geeks” but these
individuals were, by far, the most intelligent, individual, and intellectually advanced people who happen to be the
pioneers and forefathers of the talented individuals that are today the true hackers. The true hackers amongst our
societies have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Boredom is never an object of challenge for hackers. They
have an almost anomalous ability to absorb, retain, and exert vast amounts of knowledge with regard to intricate
details. In 1969, Bell Labs employee Ken Thompson invented UNIX and permanently changed the future of the
computer industry. Then in the very early 1970s, Dennis Ritchie invented the computer programming language “C”
which was specifically invented to be used with UNIX. Programmers ceased to use assembler, while developing an
appreciation for the portability of “C.”
• Hackers used to be viewed as people who sat locked in a room all day programming nonstop, hours on end. No
one seemed to mind hackers back in the 1960s when this was the most widely excepted reputation. In fact, most
people had no idea what hacking was. The term hacker was accepted as a positive label slapped onto computer
gurus who could push computer systems beyond the defined limits. Hackers emerged out of the artificial
intelligence labs at MIT in the 1960s. A network known as ARPANET was founded by the Department of Defense
as a means to link government offices. In time, ARPANET evolved into what is today known as the Internet.
5. Types of hackers :-
Black hat hackers:-
• Black-hat hackers, or simply “black hats,” are the type of hacker
the popular media seems to focus on. Black-hat hackers violate
computer security for personal gain (such as stealing credit card
numbers or harvesting personal data for sale to identity thieves)
or for pure maliciousness (such as creating a botnet and using
that botnet to perform DDOS attacks against websites they don’t
like.)
• Black hats fit the widely-held stereotype that hackers are
criminals performing illegal activities for personal gain and
attacking others. They’re the computer criminals.
• A black-hat hacker who finds a new, “zero-day” security
vulnerability would sell it to criminal organizations on the black
market or use it to compromise computer systems.
• Media portrayals of black-hat hackers may be accompanied by
silly stock photos like the below one, which is intended as a
parody.
6. White hat hackers :-
• White-hat hackers are the opposite of the black-hat hackers. They’re the
“ethical hackers,” experts in compromising computer security systems
who use their abilities for good, ethical, and legal purposes rather than
bad, unethical, and criminal purposes.
• For example, many white-hat hackers are employed to test an
organizations’ computer security systems. The organization authorizes the
white-hat hacker to attempt to compromise their systems. The white-hat
hacker uses their knowledge of computer security systems to compromise
the organization’s systems, just as a black hat hacker would. However,
instead of using their access to steal from the organization or vandalize its
systems, the white-hat hacker reports back to the organization and
informs them of how they gained access, allowing the organization to
improve their defenses. This is known as “penetration testing,” and it’s
one example of an activity performed by white-hat hackers.
• A white-hat hacker who finds a security vulnerability would disclose it to
the developer, allowing them to patch their product and improve its
security before it’s compromised. Various organizations pay “bounties” or
award prizes for revealing such discovered vulnerabilities, compensating
white-hats for their work.
7. Grey hat hackers :-
• Very few things in life are clear black-and-white categories. In reality,
there’s often a gray area. A gray-hat hacker falls somewhere between a
black hat and a white hat. A gray hat doesn’t work for their own personal
gain or to cause carnage, but they may technically commit crimes and do
arguably unethical things.
• For example, a black hat hacker would compromise a computer system
without permission, stealing the data inside for their own personal gain or
vandalizing the system. A white-hat hacker would ask for permission
before testing the system’s security and alert the organization after
compromising it. A gray-hat hacker might attempt to compromise a
computer system without permission, informing the organization after the
fact and allowing them to fix the problem. While the gray-hat hacker
didn’t use their access for bad purposes, they compromised a security
system without permission, which is illegal.
• If a gray-hat hacker discovers a security flaw in a piece of software or on a
website, they may disclose the flaw publically instead of privately
disclosing the flaw to the organization and giving them time to fix it. They
wouldn’t take advantage of the flaw for their own personal gain — that
would be black-hat behavior — but the public disclosure could cause
carnage as black-hat hackers tried to take advantage of the flaw before it
was fixed.
8. Some other types of hackers:-
• Elite hacker
A social status among hackers, elite is used to describe the most skilled. Newly discovered exploits circulate among these hackers.
Elite groups such as Masters of Deceptionconferred a kind of credibility on their members.
• Script kiddie
A script kiddie (also known as a skid or skiddie) is an unskilled hacker who breaks into computer systems by using automated tools written
by others (usually by other black hat hackers), hence the term script (i.e. a prearranged plan or set of activities) kiddie (i.e. kid, child—an
individual lacking knowledge and experience, immature),usually with little understanding of the underlying concept.
• Neophyte
A neophyte ("newbie", or "noob") is someone who is new to hacking or phreaking and has almost no knowledge or experience of the
workings of technology and hacking.
• Blue hat
A blue hat hacker is someone outside computer security consulting firms who is used to bug-test a system prior to its launch, looking for
exploits so they can be closed. Microsoft also uses the term BlueHat to represent a series of security briefing events.
• Hacktivist
A hacktivist is a hacker who utilizes technology to publicize a social, ideological, religious or political message.
Hacktivism can be divided into two main groups:
Cyberterrorism — Activities involving website defacement or denial-of-service attacks; and,
Freedom of information — Making information that is not public, or is public in non-machine-readable formats, accessible to the public.
18. Some Types of hacking:-
Injection attack :- Injection Attacking occurs when there are flaws in your
SQL Database, SQL libraries, or even the operating system itself. Employees open
seemingly credible files with hidden commands, or “injections”, unknowingly.
In doing so, they’ve allowed hackers to gain unauthorized access to private data
such as social security numbers, credit card number or other financial data.
Cross site scripting attack :-Cross Site Scripting, also known as an XSS
attack, occurs when an application, url “get request”, or file packet is sent to the
web browser window and bypassing the validation process. Once an XSS script is
triggered, it’s deceptive property makes users believe that the compromised page
of a specific website is legitimate.
For example, if www.example.com/abcd.html has XSS script in it, the user might
see a popup window asking for their credit card info and other sensitive info
19. click jacking attack :- Click jacking, also called a UI Redress Attack, is when a
hacker uses multiple opaque layers to trick a user into clicking the top layer without them
knowing.
Thus the attacker is “hijacking” clicks that are not meant for the actual page, but for a page
where the attacker wants you to be.
For example, using a carefully crafted combination of style sheets, iframes, and text boxes, a user
can be led to believe they are typing in the password for their bank account, but are actually
typing into an invisible frame controlled by the attacker.
social engineering attacks :- A social engineering attack is not technically
a “hack”.
It happens when you divulge private information in good faith, such as a credit card
number, through common online interactions such as email, chat, social media sites, or
virtually any website.
The problem, of course, is that you’re not getting into what you think you’re getting into.
A classic example of a social engineering attack is the “Microsoft tech support” scam.
This is when someone from a call center pretends to be a MS tech support member who
says that your computer is slow and/or infected, and can be easily fixed – at a cost, of
course.
20. Phishing attack :- Phishing is the attempt to acquire sensitive information such as
usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money), often for
malicious reasons, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic
communication. The word is a neologism created as a homophone of fishing due to the
similarity of using a bait in an attempt to catch a victim. Communications purporting to be from
popular social web sites, auction sites, banks, online payment processors or IT administrators
are commonly used to lure unsuspecting victims. Phishing emails may contain links to websites
that are infected with malware. Phishing is typically carried out by email spoofing or instant
messaging, and it often directs users to enter details at a fake website whose look and feel are
almost identical to the legitimate one. Phishing is an example of social engineering techniques
used to deceive users, and exploits the poor usability of current web security
technologies. Attempts to deal with the growing number of reported phishing incidents
include legislation, user training, public awareness, and technical security measures. Many
websites have now created secondary tools for applications, like maps for games, but they
should be clearly marked as to who wrote them, and users should not use the same passwords
anywhere on the internet.

the illusion of knowledge……
