Introduction
What is Cyber Crime?
Computer crime, or cybercrime, is crime that involves a computer and a network. The computer may have been used in the commission of a crime, or it may be the target.
What is Cyber Security?
C
yber security, also known as computer security or IT security, is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and to the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. It includes controlling physical access to the hardware, as well as protecting against harm that may come via network access, data and code injection and due to malpractice by operators,whether intentional, accidental, or due to them being tricked into deviating from secure procedures.
The field is of growing importance due to the increasing reliance on computer systems in most societies and the growth of "smart" devices,including smartphones, televisions and tiny devices as part of the Internet of Things – and of the Internet and wireless network such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
Some organizations are turning to big data platforms, such as Apache Hadoop, to extend data accessibility and machine learning to detect advanced persistent threats.
Vulnerabilities and Attacks
Vulnerability is a system susceptibility or flaw, and much vulnerability are documented in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database and vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities as they are discovered.
An exploitable vulnerability is one for which at least one working attack or "exploit" exists.
To secure a computer system, it is important to understand the attacks that can be made against it, and these threats can typically be classified into one of the categories below.

Solution
1) Threat to intellectual property: Hacking , After conducting a forensic review of the drives,
Bailey(CEO of IT company) learned that intruders had been lurking on two of his company’s
servers for almost a year. These hackers, who were traced to a university in Beijing, had entered
the company’s extranet through an unpatched vulnerability in the Solaris operating system. As
far as Bailey could tell, they hadn’t accessed any classified information. But they were able to
view mountains of intellectual property, including design information and product specifications
related to transportation and communications systems, along with information belonging to the
company’s customers and partners.
Activist hackers, or hacktivists, can also be a danger to companies. For example, early last year
members of Anonymous, the hacker collective, copied and publicly released sensitive files of
H.B. Gary Federal, a security company.
Cpoyrights deviation or piracy :
Intellectual property theft involves robbing people or companies of their ideas, inventions, and
creative expressions—known as “intellectual property”—which can include everything from
trade secrets and proprietary products and parts to movies, music, and software.
It is a growing threat—especially with the rise of digital technologies and Internet file sharing
networks. And much of the theft takes place overseas, where laws are often lax and enforcement
is more difficult. All told, intellectual property theft costs U.S. businesses billions of dollars a
year and robs the nation of jobs and tax revenues.
Preventing intellectual property theft is a priority of the FBI’s criminal investigative program. It
specifically focuses on the theft of trade secrets and infringements on products that can impact
consumers’ health and safety, such as counterfeit aircraft, car, and electronic parts. Key to the
program’s success is linking the considerable resources and efforts of the private sector with law
enforcement partners on local, state, federal, and international levels.

Ethical hacking refers to the act of locating the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of computer and information systems by duplicating the intent and actions of malicious hackers. Ethical hacking is also known as penetration testing, intrusion testing, or red teaming. An ethical hacker is a security professional who applies their hacking skills for defensive purposes on behalf of the owners of information systems. By conducting penetration tests, an ethical hacker looks to answer the following four basic questions:
What information/locations/systems can an attacker gain access?
What can an attacker see on the target?
What can an attacker do with available information?
Does anyone at the target system notice the attempts?
An ethical hacker operates with the knowledge and permission of the organization for which they are trying to defend. In some cases, the organization will neglect to inform its information security team of the activities that will be carried out by an ethical hacker in an attempt to test the effectiveness of the information security team. This is referred to as a double-blind environment. In order to operate effectively and legally, an ethical hacker must be informed of the assets that should be protected, potential threat sources, and the extent to which the organization will support an ethical hacker's efforts.
Nowadays it is very common to hear from people that internet network is the largest engineering system,
and something that we cannot imagine life without.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Skills Required to Become a Ethical Hacker
Skills allow you to achieve your desired goals within the available time and resources. As a hacker,
you will need to develop skills that will help you get the job done. These skills include learning how
to program, use the internet, good at solving problems, and taking advantage of existing security
tools.
In this article, we will introduce you to the common programming languages and skills that you must
know as a hacker.
Top Ethical Hacking Skills
• Excellent Computer Skills. ...
• Programming Skills. ...
• Database Skills. ...
• SQL Skills. ...
• Linux Skills. ...
• Cryptography. ...
• Social Engineering Skills. ...
• Web Applications.
4. 2. Programming Skills
A programming language is a language that is used to develop computer programs. The programs
developed can range from operating systems; data based applications through to networking solutions.
5. Why should you learn how to program?
Hackers are the problem solver and tool builders, learning how to program will help you
implement solutions to problems. It also differentiates you from script kiddies.
Writing programs as a hacker will help you to automate many tasks which would usually take
lots of time to complete.
Writing programs can also help you identify and exploit programming errors in applications that
you will be targeting.
You don’t have to reinvent the wheel all the time, and there are a number of open source
programs that are readily usable. You can customize the already existing applications and
add your methods to suit your needs.
6. What languages should I learn?
COMPUTER
LANGUAGES
DESCRIPTION PURPOSE
HTML
Language used to write web
pages.
Web hacking
Login forms and other data entry methods on the web use HTML forms to get data. Being able to write and interpret
HTML, makes it easy for you to identify and exploit weaknesses in the code.
JavaScript Client side scripting language
Web Hacking
JavaScript code is executed on the client browse. You can use it to read saved cookies and perform cross site scripting
etc.
PHP Server side scripting language
Web Hacking
PHP is one of the most used web programming languages. It is used to process HTML forms and performs other custom
tasks. You could write a custom application in PHP that modifies settings on a web server and makes the server
vulnerable to attacks.
SQL
Language used to communicate
with database
Web Hacking
Using SQL injection, to by-pass web application login algorithms that are weak, delete data from the database, etc.
Python
Ruby
Bash
Perl
High level programming
languages
Building tools & scripts
They come in handy when you need to develop automation tools and scripts. The knowledge gained can also be used in
understand and customization the already available tools.
C & C++ Low Level Programming
Writing exploits, shell codes, etc.
They come in handy when you need to write your own shell codes, exploits, root kits or understanding and expanding
on existing ones.
Java,CSharp
Visual Basic
VBScript
Other languages
Other uses
The usefulness of these languages depends on your scenario.
7. 3. Database Skills
Ethical hacking requires a number of different skills to be successful. One of the most important ethical hacker skills is
the ability to work with databases.
Hackers need to be able to understand how databases are structured and how they work in order to be able to find
security vulnerabilities.
In addition, hackers need to be able to use database management tools in order to manipulate data and access
restricted information. Without these skills, it would be very difficult for ethical hackers to do their job.
8. 4. SQL Skills
Ethical hacking is an increasingly popular profession that calls for a very specific set of skills. Perhaps
one of the essential ethical hacking skills required for an ethical hacker is the ability to write and
understand SQL queries.
SQL, or Structured Query Language, is a programming language specifically designed for working
with databases.
To find vulnerable information in a database, an ethical hacker needs to be able to craft SQL queries
that can extract the desired data.
9. 5. Linux Skills
Anyone in information technology systems, such as administrators and network engineers, software
developers or engineers, and some cybersecurity professionals, should learn Linux. It's an important
skill to learn because Linux is the foundation of many servers and supercomputers.
For ethical hackers, Linux skills are essential, as they allow you to access the inner workings of a
system and identify potential vulnerabilities.
In addition, Linux skills provide you with the ability to create custom scripts and programs that can
be used to automate various tasks.
10. What is Social Engineering? Attacks,Techniques & Prevention
Social engineering is the art of manipulating users of a computing system into revealing
confidential information that can be used to gain unauthorized access to a computer system.
The term can also include activities
such as exploiting human kindness, greed, and curiosity to gain access to restricted access
buildings or getting the users to installing backdoor software.
12. HERE,
Gather Information: This is the first stage, the learns as much as he can about the intended victim. The
information is gathered from company websites, other publications and sometimes by talking to the users
of the target system.
Plan Attack: The attackers outline how he/she intends to execute the attack
Acquire Tools: These include computer programs that an attacker will use when launching the attack.
Attack: Exploit the weaknesses in the target system.
Use acquired knowledge: Information gathered during the social engineering tactics such as pet names,
birthdates of the organization founders, etc. is used in attacks such as password guessing.
How social engineering Works?
13. Social Engineering attacks
Phishing: Phishing uses emails that appear to come from legitimate sources to trick people
into providing their information or clicking on malicious links and put end users into one of the
emotional states that causes them to act without thinking.
Vishing: Attackers use phone calls to trick victims into handling over data. They may pose as bank
managers or other trusted entities to supply your credentials and other important data.
Smishing: Uses SMS text messaging to get you to divulge information or click on a malicious link.
Spear Phishing: Similar to phishing but the attacker customizes the email specifically for an
individual to make the phish seem more real. They often target key employees with access to critical
and/or confidential data
14. Phishing
E-mail sent by online criminals to trick you into going to fake Web sites and revealing personal
information
In other words It is the criminally attempting to acquire sensitive information such as
•usernames
•passwords
•credit card details
15. Vishing & Smishing
Vishing - Phone calls made by fraudsters to steal your personal information and sensitive
information
- they communicate
• as bank officer
• referring your shopping
16. Tips to avoid Vishing & Smishing
Never reveal any information over phone calls
Call the original company like bank, shopping toll free and enquire about the call received
Avoid picking calls from unknown numbers
Never respond to sms received from unknowns
Avoid clicking links received on sms
17. Protecting Yourself
A security aware culture can help employees identify and repel social engineering attacks
Recognize inappropriate requests for information
Take ownership for corporate security
Understand risk and impact of security breeches
Social engineering attacks are personal.
Password management
Two factor authentication
Physical security
Understand what information you are putting on the Web for targeting at social network sites
Google, Twitter
Myspace, Facebook
Personal Blogs, LinkedIn
18. Safety Tips
1) Use antivirus software (AVAST, AVG…..)
2) Insert firewalls , pop up blocker (Windows, Comodo)
3) Uninstall unnecessary software (Adwares)
4) Maintain backup (Weekly/Monthly)
5) Use secure connection (HTTPS)
6) Open attachments carefully
7) Use strong passwords , don’t give personal information
unless required.
