Concepts of Denial-of-Service Attack & Distributed Denial of Service Attack

For a better understanding of Denial-of-Service Attack & Distributed Denial of Service (DoS/DDoS) attacks, one must be familiar with their concepts beforehand. This module discusses what a DoS attack is, what a DDoS attack is, and how the DDoS attacks work. What is a Denial-of-Service Attack? DoS is an attack on a computer or network that reduces, restricts, or prevents accessibility of system resources to its legitimate users. In a DOS attack, attackers flood a …

Covering Track on Networks

The Covering Track on Networks including networks,Windows, Linux, etc. So let’s start by seeing how track is also covered over networks. Please note that ready to i will be able to be able to cover only ways and slightly bit about how the attacker uses them, but information doesn’t meant to dig deep into technical aspects of each kind of attack. Using Reverse IMP Shells An attacker starts this attack by first infecting a victim’s …

Covering Tracks

Covering Tracks we’ve got how an attacker hides malicious files on a target computer using various stenographic techniques, NTFS streams, among others, to keep up future access to the target. Now that the attacker has succeeded in performing this malicious operation, following step are to get rid of any resultant traces/tracks within the system, Covering tracks is one in all the most stage during system hacking. during this stage, the attacker tries to cover and …

Variety of important anti-forensic techniques

Anti-forensic techniques are the act ions and anti-forensic techniques that hinder the forensic investigation method therefore on shield the attackers and perpetrators. These techniques act against the investigation technique like discover particle, collect particle, and analysis is of proof files and sidetrack the incident responders. Anti-forensic techniques that embody deletion and over writing processes, to boot facilitate to substantiate the confidentiality of knowledge by reducing the flexibility to browse it. Attackers use these techniques to …

Enumeration

What is Enumeration?

Enumeration is the process of extracting user names, machine names, network resources, shares, and services from a system or network. In the enumeration phase, the attacker creates active connections with system and performs directed queries to gain more information about the target. The attackers use the information collected by means of enumeration to identify the vulnerabilities or weak points in the system security, which helps them exploit the target system. It allows the attacker to …

5 Phases of Hacking

This article explains 5 steps of Hacking phases taking an example of a Hacker trying to hack… for example Reconnaissance, Scanning, Gaining Access, Maintaining Access, Fearing Tracks…  There are five Hacking phases: Reconnaissance Scanning Gaining Access Maintaining Access Clearing Tracks Hacking Phase 1: Reconnaissance Reconnaissance refers to the preparatory phase in which an attacker gathers as much information as possible about the target prior to launching the attack. In this phase, the attacker draws on …
