A Step by Step Guide to Learn How to Hack Websites, Smartphones, Wireless Networks, Work with Social Engineering, Complete a Penetration Test, and Keep Your Computer Safe
Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing Hacking for Beginners and thank you for doing so.
The following chapters will discuss all of the tricks and tips that you need to know in order to get started with hacking on your own.
Whether you have big plans to get onto another network and use that information for your own personal gain, or you would like to perform some of these attacks on your own computer to learn the basics of hacking and how to get it started and keep it safe from others, this guidebook is going to have all of the tips and tricks that you are looking for to get started.
In this guidebook, we are going to spend some time working with the world of hacking and some of the things that we are able to do to make this work for our needs.
We will start out with some of the basics of hacking and how we are able to learn how to work with this.
Then we will move on to some of the different types of hackers.
There are actually quite a few hackers out there, and not all of them are going to be out there to take and steal your information.
Some will work for the good of others, and maybe even protect their own networks and the networks of others as well.
From there, we are able to move on to some of the different parts that we can do as a hacker in order to either check our own network or see if there are some vulnerabilities that are in the network that can be exploited.
For example, we will focus on how to do a penetration test to get onto the network, or at least find the weak spots, and then also look at how to handle breaking onto a wireless network and how to hack into a website.
All of these are more advanced forms of hacking, but it can be great for helping us to get the results that we want.
This guidebook will also spend some time taking a look at a process known as social engineering.
This is a great topic to look at because it shows how hackers usually do not waste their time trying to crack through passwords and break into wireless networks, though they can try.
Often the most successful method for them to use in order to break into a network is through the people who use it.
Social engineering allows the hacker to fool the individual who is on the network, getting them to hand over personal and sensitive information so the hacker can get right onto the network when they would like.
In addition to some of the topics above, we will explore how to handle a hack on a mobile device.
Many times we put a lot of personal and sensitive information about our lives on our mobile devices, but we do not add in some of the protections that we would with our websites and our laptops.
This is a dangerous option for us to work with because the hackers will definitely try to exploit this weakness.
We will spend some time looking at how you can work with an attack on a phone, and some of the ways that you can prevent one of these attacks as well.
To end this guidebook, we are going to spend some of our time looking at a few of the other attacks that the hacker can try to use in order to gain the access that they would like.
This would include options like a denial of service attack, a man in the middle attack, and even just the basic malware as well.
Then we can explore some of the steps that are available for you to take in order to keep your network safe.
It doesnt matter whether you are protecting the information of a big company or just trying to keep your own personal network safe and sound.
Hackers are always trying to find ways to get onto a network and steal the information, and these tips and tricks will make it much harder for the hacker to get what they want.
Usually, when we hear about hacking and all that it involves, we assume that it is something evil and something that we should never touch. And in many cases, if we have plans to break into a network that we have no authority to be near, then hacking is a bad thing.
But we can also use the same techniques and methods in order to keep our own network safe and sound from hackers who may have some malicious intentions, and that is what this guidebook is all about.
Working with the safe and ethical form of hacking to ensure that your network is going to always work the way that you would like and that your information, both personal and financial, will always stay safe.
When you are ready to get started with hacking and learning some of the best programming and other methods that can help you out with your own system, then make sure to check out this guidebook to help you get started.
There are plenty of books on this subject on the market, thanks again for choosing this one! Every effort was made to ensure it is full of as much useful information as possible, please enjoy it!
Chapter 1: Understanding the Basics of Hacking
One of the first things that we are going to spend some of our time on in this guidebook is the idea of hacking.
There are a lot of negative ideas out there about hacking, and it is important that we learn more about this process, and why it can actually be a good thing for us, as long as we use it in the proper manner.
While many of us are going to view hacking as something that is really negative, and something that we should not spend our time with, you will find that when it comes to keeping others out and making sure that our information and more is as safe as possible, hacking is going to be one of the best ways to make this happen.
Learning some of the basics will make your own system stronger and more secure in the process.
