how you can hack.. ??


           ➤  The five phase of hacking

1) footprinting
2) scanning
3) gaining access
4) maintaining access
5) clearing tracks




Footprinting (also known as reconnaissance) is the technique used for gathering information about computer systems and the entities they belong to. To get this information, a hacker might use various tools and technologies. This information is very useful to a hacker who is trying to crack a whole system.

possible about the target machine. The primary purpose of this phase is to gather intelligence so as you can conduct an effective penetration test. At the end of his phase, you are expected to have a list of IP of your target machine that you can scan later on.

➤ footprinting tools(reconnaissance)



1   footprinting can be either active or passive. In active reconnaissance you send traffic to the target machine while a passive reconnaissance use Internet to gather information. When you use active reconnaissance, you need to remember that the target machine may notice that you are planning a penetration test. In the case of passive test, target machine has no clue about who is gather intelligence and planning an attack. The following are the tools you can use:
1.     Google: use advanced Google search to gather information about the target’s website, webservers and vulnerable information. Sometimes, jobs posted in the companies’ websites reveal valuable information about the type of information technologies used in the target company.

2.     Netcraft: they have a free online tool to gather information about webservers including both the client and server side technologies. Visit http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report/ and type the domain name.

3.     Nslookup: you can use it to query DNS server in order to extract valuable information about the host machine. You can use this tool both in Linux and Windows. From your windows machine, open the command prompt and the type ‘nslookup’ followed by the domain name.





4.     Dig: another useful DNS lookup tool used in Linux machine. Type dig followed by the domain name.






5.     Social engineering: it is perhaps the easiest way to gather information about an organization. You can find lots of free information about social engineering in the Internet. Depending on the types of information you need about your target organization, you need to choose the appropriate technique. But remember that this technique needs time to master and you need to plan it very carefully, otherwise your activity can easily trigger an alert.

6.     Pipl search : in this site, you can  search person by it’s name and location. this site is very use full for the footprinting method.
7.     Com.lullar: in this site, you can search the victim’s email id and know the where this person is active. this is very use full information for footprinting.

 ⇒ What is an ip addresss? An   IP address   (abbreviation of   Internet Protocol address ) is an identifier assigned to each computer and other device (e.g., printer,   router ,   mobile device , etc.) connected to a   TCP/IP network that is used to locate and identify the node in communications with other nodes on the network. IP addresses are usually written and displayed in   human-readable notations. ➦ there are mainly two ip address 1)ipv4 2)ipv6 ⇒ Ipv4 address An IP address in IPv4 is   32-bits   in size, which limits the   address space   to   4294967296   (2 32 ) IP addresses. Of this number, IPv4 reserves some addresses for special purposes such as   private networks   (~18 million addresses) or   multicast addresses   (~270 million addresses). IPv4 addresses are usually represented in   dot-decimal notation, consisting of four decimal numbers, each rangi...

HOW TO CRACK PASSWORD | TYPES OF PASSWORD CRACKING TECHNIQUE

Image
what is password cracking? security analysts and experts suggest different approaches when it comes to password cracking the attack selection depends on the hashing algorithm used and the speed of the hash calculation. the time that will take for the attack to compute and try one password.usually passwords have an expiry date therefore an attack that takes too much time will not be considered. the amount of resources that the attacker has in the case of organised crime and industrial espionage, the attacker might have the ability to use multiple processors,data centers or botnets for the attacker . there are two main categories of password cracking techniques : online and offline attacks . online attacks are attacks that are performed on a live host or system be either using exhaustive search (brute-force) or word list  attack again a login form,session,or any type of authentication technique used. online attacks are not as popular as offline attacks because they a...
