This document provides an overview of cyber security and hacking. It defines key terms like security, hacking, hacker, and cracker. It then gives a brief history of major hacking incidents from 2011 to 2016, including attacks on the Canadian and US governments and large banks. The document distinguishes between different types of hackers like white hat, black hat, and grey hat hackers. It also lists famous hackers and describes the typical hacking process and common hacking methods like scanning, enumeration, and exploiting vulnerabilities. Finally, it discusses common types of attacks like denial of service, sniffing, trojans, and buffer overflows.

10. HACKER AND ETHICAL HACKER
v Hacker
Access computer system or network without authorization
Breaks the law
v Ethical hacker
Performs most of the same activities but with owner’s
permission
Employed by companies to perform Penetration Tests

11. TYPES OF HACKERS
Ø White Hat Hacker -> ME J
• Good guys
• Don’t use their skill for illegal purpose
• Computer security experts and help to protect from Black
Hats.
ØBlack Hat Hacker
Bad guys
• Use their skill maliciously for personal gain
• Hack banks, steal credit cards and deface websites
Ø Grey Hat Hacker
• It is a combination of White hat n Black Hat Hackers
• Goal of grey hat hackers is to provide national security

Access
Escalating Privilege,
Covering Tracks and
Creating Backdoors

14. GENERAL HACKING METHODS
A typical attacker works in the following manner:
• Identify the target system.
• Gathering Information on the target system.
• Finding a possible loophole in the target system.
• Exploiting this loophole using exploit code.
• Removing all traces from the log files and escaping without a trace.

15. TYPES OF ATTACK
ØThere are an endless number of attacks, which
a system administrator has to protect his system
from. However, the most common ones are:
ü Denial of Services attacks (DOS
Attacks)
ü Threat from Sniffing and Key Logging
ü Trojan Attacks
ü IP Spoofing
ü Buffer Overflows
ü All other types of Attacks

dSploit is a penetration testing suite developed by Simone
Margaritelli for the Android operating system. It consists of
several modules that are capable to perform network
security assessments on wireless networks. It allows you
to perform tasks such as, network mapping, vulnerability
scanning, password cracking, Man-In-The-Middle attacks
and many more.
