Hacking

The Beginner's Complete Guide to Computer Hacking and Penetration Testing

By Miles Price


Table of Contents


Introduction

Cyber crime is the biggest threat that every organization on the planet faces today! And its not just the organizations that are vulnerable. People too are at risk of being targeted by hackers.

Inside this book we aim to show you the importance of staying on top of this threat by learning how to hack. While it is true that hackers have received a bad rep over the years, mostly due to biased media reporting, not all hackers have criminal intentions.

This book is meant to serve as an educational guide for people who are interested in learning some simple hacking tools, tips, and techniques in order to protect yourself and your computer networks.

It is to be used for ethical hacking and not malicious activities. If you have ever been curious about hacking and have wanted to learn the art of the hack, then you have found the right book.

We live in a world where everything is interconnected. Back in the day, we relied on the government and major organizations to provide enough security for our personal data. This is no longer feasible in a world where the security agencies themselves are the major targets of malicious hackers.

In fact, in most cases, the biggest cyber threat will come from your very own government!

So what do you do? Sit back and cross your fingers, hoping that your firewall and antivirus program will be enough to protect you? Whether you like it or not, you will have to learn how to hack if you are going to stand a chance of keeping your own cyber systems secure.

By understanding how malicious hackers do what they do, you will be able to detect and prevent any potential threats to a computer system or network. This book will help you do that.

We start off with a general overview of the state of global cyber security. You will learn how to make a distinction between the different types of hackers out there, their motivations, and the skills that you need to start hacking right away.

We will also cover how to conduct penetration testing to check for any potential loopholes in a network. Every network, no matter how secure, has some kind of weakness. You will learn what goes into targeting, scanning, and analyzing a target, and how to gain access into a system.

There are different ways of hacking a cyber system. We take an in-depth look at some of the top tactics that malicious hackers use to launch attacks on their targets. Finally, what can you do to stay safe as a hacker? Read about all this and more right here.

I hope you enjoy the book!

Chapter 1: Its a Hackers World!

The days of resting easy knowing that your private information is safe from prying eyes are over! The world we currently live in is no longer what it used to be. Cyber crime is a real, dangerous, and persistent threat that every organization and individual needs to take seriously. Right now we are living in the digital age and in a global village. With everything and everyone interconnected in such a mass scale, it is safe to say that this is a hackers world.

The new US president himself, Donald Trump, stated that cyber theft is the fastest growing crime in the America. This isnt just his personal opinion. The cyber security community agrees as well.

You dont believe me? Lets check out some statistics.

  1. Did you know that the damage done by cybercrime in 2016 cost $3 trillion, and is expected to rise to $6 trillion annually by the year 2021?
  2. Did you know that organizations all over the US spent a total of $80 billion on products and services to protect themselves from cyber crime? This figure is expected to surpass $1 trillion in 2017.
  3. Did you know that there is virtually no chance of unemployment if you work in the cyber security industry right now? Analysts have concluded that there is an extreme shortage of cybersecurity talent all over the world, with the cyber security unemployment rate dropping to zero percent as of 2016!
  4. Malicious hackers are now after blood, not silicon. According to Microsoft, there will be 4 billion people online by the year 2020, and humans, not computers, are now the primary target of hackers.
  5. Did you know that the average hacker is able to stay dormant in your network for an average of 200 days without being detected?

These statistics are not meant to scare you. They are meant to open your eyes to what is taking place all over the world. If you watch and read the news, then you should understand how big this issue will get in the future.

Hacking Defined

What comes to your mind when you hear the word hacking? Do you imagine a hooded character hunched over a computer trying to gain illegal access to a network to steal data? Or maybe some geeky nerd with nothing to do all day but send out encrypted programs to infect networks and systems?

Whatever images may have popped into your head, the fact is that most people believe that all hackers are intent on stealing information or spying on people. The majority of people think that all hackers are criminals and hacking is wrong. That may be what is portrayed in movies and TV shows, but it is simply not the case.

Hacking can be defined as an attempt to solve a problem or improve an application by re-engineering hardware or software. In other words, if you have a problem with your computer and are unable to resolve it using conventional techniques, then you may be forced to use whatever technology is available but in a new way. If you look at the history of how hacking started, it all began with the intention to solve a problem using creative means.

The first recorded hackers were a bunch of MIT geeks who used old telephone equipment to control their model trains way back in the 1950s. These guys were so into model trains that they took the telephone equipment they had received as a donation and engineered it so that multiple operators could control the train track by simply dialing the phone.

Some of these guys even went further and started modifying the recently introduced computer programs on campus. Their aim was to customize the programs for special use and make them better. They simply used what they had available to get creative, invent a new way of doing something, and solve problems.
