This document discusses different types of hacking and methods that hackers use. It defines hacking as cleverly using computer parts in novel ways, and distinguishes between white hat, black hat, and grey hat hackers based on their intentions and whether they have permission. Common social engineering techniques that hackers use to gain access include pretending to be someone else via email spoofing, building fake websites to phish login credentials, and researching targets on social media. The document encourages learning about hacking methods in order to avoid being hacked.

4. WHAT IS HACKING?
“Hacking” used to describe when a clever individual put
computer parts (or anything really) together in a novel,
unintended way that resulted in something cool or useful.
It was used with a positive connotation. For example, Steve
Wozniak, one of the original founders of Apple, was an
exceptional hacker.

5. WHAT PEOPLE THINK
ABOUT HACKING?
“hacking” – a blanket term readily
used to encompass a whole range of
attacks, from crashing a server to
more sophisticated infiltration, such
as stealing passwords.
“hacking” is more frequently used to
described discovering and taking
advantage of a weakness in a
computer system or network.

6. NO, THIS ISN’T HACKING!

7. HACKER?
A person who enjoys learning the details of computer
systems and how to stretch their capabilities
One who programs enthusiastically or who enjoys
programming rather than just theorizing about programming.
All hacker are NOT BAD GUYS!
Some of them are VIGILANTE!!!

8. HACKERS OF A DIFFERENT CLASSES
There are a large number of hacker classifications
defining who hackers are and why they are hacking in
the first place.
WHITE HAT
These guys do everything by the book. They have full, contractual
permission to try and compromise a system. There are rules – white hats
follow them.
BLACK HAT
These hackers are Bond villains. Black hat hacking is an illegal activity for
some form of personal gain.
GREY HAT
Everything in-between. Most commonly, these guys hack something with
whatever intentions… they leave identification mark!!

9. HOW DO HACKERS HACK THE STUFF!

10. HOW DO HACKERS HACK THE STUFF!
Here is a step-by-step process for the easiest method to hack:
1. Ask the operator for the password.
2. Sign in.
Seriously, Social Engineering is the key.
Its the practice of manipulating people into divulging information.
While a user may not intentionally give away the password, some
guile, a little knowledge of human nature, and a touch of trickery are
more than enough to get the access you need.
Ok, ok, that’s cheating… but it works! Let’s have a look at the sample
video.

11. REWARDS OF SOCIAL ENGINEERING

12. KNOWING THE TARGET!
Facebook, Instagram & Twitter are Social Engineer's best
friends!
Collecting the socially available information from Public
Resources
pipl
sync.me
email-lookup by golookup

13. DEMO
Let’s try them!

14. LET’S PLAY WITH EMAILS@HACKING
It’s a technique where the sender of an email has been
changed to appear as someone else.
This is done by simply forging the header of an email and
changing the address in the “from” field.
Requirement: access to a mail server with an open SMTP
That’s it! So simple, isn’t it?

15. DEMO
Spoofing is the real beauty!

16. PHISH THE TARGET
Build a replica of a website and make your victim to access it
If its looks fair enough as the actual website and earns your
victim’s trust…Boom! You won!!
Wait until victim logs-in and victim’s credentials now also
belongs to you.
Requirements: Replica of a target web-app & a Hosting space.
Basic knowledge of PHP will be handy.

17. DEMO
Spoofing is the real beauty!
