Behind Enemy Lines – How Exactly do hackers hack a computer?

So How exactly do hackers strut their stuff? I think it is important to understand the basis of their activity in order to protect our computers from their filthy hands even further. By knowing what they do, we’ll understand which part of the computer they specifically target thus makes it easier for us to protect our computers by taking measures against that specific part. In a way, the quote, “Attack is the best form of Defence” can be applied here and I don’t mean hacking back the hackers who hacked you. I mean outsmarting them so they can’t repeat the same process over and over again. Who knows? If everyone gives them a hard time then they may go elsewhere and turn into a new leaf, using hacking for a good cause. So how do hackers hack your computer? Unfortunately, there are many ways in which one can do so. As explained by the following quote.

“In the Old world, if I wanted to attack something physical, there was one way to get there. You could put guards and guns around it, you could protect it. But a Database – or a control system – usually has multiple pathways, unpredictable routes to it, and seems intrinsically impossible to protect. That’s why most efforts at computer security has been defeated.” – Andrew Marshall, military analyst

That sums it up perfectly. Unfortunately, most efforts at computer security has been defeated because hackers continue to evolve their ideas so it becomes stronger and less detectable. However, these megaviruses and malware only come around once in a while so lets focus on the most common forms of hacking. Note: If you are looking for ways to hack then you’re on the wrong site buddy.

Type 1: Brute Force attack

A brute force attack is a method of defeating the encryption which secures a network by systematically trying a large number of possibilities. What it basically does is to guess the possibilities of a password by running through a list of dictionary words, number patterns and symbols until it has found the actual password. This kind of hacking can take up to weeks if the password is complex but can take a matter of minutes if your password is as simple as ‘abc’. How to avoid it? Simple. Make your password as complex as possible and use a secure password manager such as Roboform to remember it. How do you make a complex password? Check my earlier article, ‘Impossible for others, possible for you – designing your password’.

Type 2: Bogus websites

Unfortunately, many internet users don’t pay attention a lot of attention on the website they access. For example, there has been two cases of bogus Facebook websites during the last few months when hackers made a replica of Facebook and convinced users to sign in like a normal Facebook website. How? They’ll first infiltrate a user’s account and send a convincing message to all his friends. The message could be something like “Hey. Check out your photo in my Photo Album. Click here to see it’. The link will lead the user’s friend to the bogus Facebook website which will request the user to sign in again. Once the user has signed in, all the information goes straight to the hacker and the hacker will then able to infiltrate the user’s account and repeat the process. There has also been cases like this for eCash websites such as Paypal. So how you do distinguish a genuine and bogus website? First, pay attention at the URL address. Are there any typos? For example, myspace.com and mysspace.com. Most users only take a quick glance at the URL address and I guarantee that they wouldn’t be able to spot the typo from the previous example. Another thing to look for, especially if you’re doing online transactions is the https:// sign. All major online businesses should have this to show that any transactions are encrypted and secured. In the end, it really comes down to common sense so always be aware of any websites you visit and don’t click a link hastily if you come across one.

Type 3: Trojans, spyware and keyloggers

Trojans, spyware and keyloggers can all be classified as malware. What do they do? They basically act as a backdoor in a computer. A Hacker will distribute a legitimate looking installation file around, possibly through emails or P2P networks. What most user wouldn’t know is that a trojan or spyware would be part of the installation file and they would be installed unnoticed. Once they have been installed, the malware process will run in the background and monitor every move a user makes on his computer. A keylogger for example will record every keystroke a user makes, things like passwords and bank account numbers are at risk. How do you avoid these malware? Download files only from legitimate and reputable websites! Always question the software beforehand by searching about it on Search Engines like Google. You are bound to find many user reviews about the software, helping you decided whether to install the file or not.

Type 4: Software vulnerabilities

Unfortunately, every software and programs out there has flaws and hackers take advantage of them quickly and efficiently. As you may have heard recently, The Conficker Virus was able to spread due to a vulnerability in the Windows Operating System. To reduce the chances of hackers taking advantage of these vulnerabilities, always download the latest updates for your OS as soon as it is released. Windows has its infamous Windows Update which can be quite annoying at times but it is the quickest and most efficient way for Microsoft to distribute updates to fix any security vulnerabilities they find in the system. There are unfortunately many other forms of hacking out there but the above four points cover the most basic of attacks which are performed against common users. Hackers on a large scale may also use attacks such as DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) which aims to overload a system’s network by directing many ‘puppet’ computers to a site in one go. Sounds scary huh? Don’t worry. These attacks are not likely to come at you unless you are a high figure profile causing controversy in the underground world. Just be aware of what you do on your computer and always have an antivirus of antispyware program installed to reduce your chances of being hacked.

Virus Protection Tips – 7 Types of Malicious Software That Can Easily Infect Your PC

Going online without any protection is the same with going to the battlefield without any weapon. Did you know that 90% of computer users in the U.S are infected by malware?

Malware are software that have malicious intent and can do lot of things. It can steal your username, password, take control of your PC, slow down your PC and many more.

Even big companies also use malware in their product. For example, Sony put a rootkit inside their CD to prevent piracy. Even though they are a big company, using malicious software inside their product is unacceptable.

There are few types of malware and below is the list for 7 types of malicious software and a brief description of each:

1. Spyware

As the name implies, spyware is software that will spy on everything you do, which websites you’re visiting, your browsing habit, installing additional software and changing your homepage. You can remove it by installing antispyware.

2. Adware

Few books have different opinions on adware, some categorized it as spyware but displays advertising, others put adware into their own category. Whatever the category is, adware is software that displays advertising and it can be installed legally inside your PC. The mass amount of pop-ups that you’re experiencing while surfing the internet can be caused by adware.

3. Rootkit

Rootkit is software that can hide it presence inside your PC. Even your antivirus will not be able to detect it. However, if you schedule your antivirus to scan before your Windows boot up, then you might be able to get a chance to remove it. Another way that you can try is to use the Rootkit Revealer by SysInternal.

4. Trojan Horse

Trojan Horse is software named after the famous Trojan Horse in the Greek Mythology. As the name implies, this malicious software will only do his job if you execute it and usually disguise itself as a folder to trick you.

5. Worm

A computer worm is software that can infect your PC and will turn your PC into a zombie computer. A zombie computer is a computer that can be controlled by the hackers and usually is used to execute the DDoS attack and for example, the Conficker Worm.

6. Virus

I think this is one of the most famous malicious software. A computer virus is software that can replicate itself in your system and will infect certain file types and making it useless. There are also viruses that infect .doc files or .swf files.

The term virus also used to describe other types of malware such as Trojan Horse and Computer Worms. Technically, it’s not the same.

7. Keylogger

Keylogger is software that records everything that you type including your username, password, credit card information and many more. Every time you use your keyboard, it will record everything and send it back to its creator.

As you can see, there are lots of online threats that can infect your PC and the only way we will be able to fight them is by gaining knowledge. Knowledge is power and it’s really true in terms of computer safety.

Go Apple, Young Man

Macs are making their way into the enterprise, and eWEEK Labs’ Cameron Sturdevant wants to stay one step ahead of them by “going Apple.” A lifelong Microsoft/PC user, Sturdevant is making the switch to be able to articulate the real benefits, drawbacks and costs of integrating the Apple/Mac platform into your organization. His journey begins here.

Once a fixture only in graphics departments and on rogue users? desks (or laps), Macs are making their way into the enterprise. As a lifelong Microsoft/PC user, I?ve decided to ?live the Mac life? so that I can put both platforms in perspective in my Labs analysis and reviews.

As someone who came up through the PC platform, making the cut over to a one-button mouse and the sleek lines of the Mac interface has been a challenge, but one that I?m slowly overcoming.

Most recently, I?ve been testing an Apple MacBook Pro 17-inch luxury laptop, and the best way to sum up the experience thus far is that it is the ultimate in fat clients. The fact that by a few grams and even fewer millimeters it is the thinnest and lightest 17-inch system currently available in no way reduces the fatness of this lovely laptop. (For an eWEEK Labs analysis on dealing with “Mac creep” in the enterprise, click here.)

But this is far from my first experience with Apple.

It all started about two years ago when I won an Apple iPod Nano in a giveaway sponsored by Alameda County public transit. Until that time, I had staunchly resisted the iPod phenomenon and its accompanying iTunes buying mania. I just knew I?d be hooked at the first obscure song download. I was unable to resist that Nano, however, and the rest is history. I?ve been an iTunes user ever since, happily buying music I wouldn?t have purchased in a million years in a record store.

Then my Palm Treo needed to be replaced at about the same time the first-generation Apple iPhone came out. I work next to mobile device guru Andrew Garcia, who convinced me that the iPhone was the way to go.

Those are just two examples of how Apple has been sneaking into my life, and I?ve started noticing Apple devices in more places.

Up until now I?ve been?by default more than fervent choice?a PC foot soldier in the religious wars between Mac and PCs.

Most of eWEEK?s readers though the ages have been PC readers, but, then again, when I first started working here (when the publication was called PC Week, incidentally), our readers were overwhelmingly using Novell NetWare.

The times they have a-changed.

I still think the ?I?m a Mac? commercials are insufferable and the ?I?m a PC? stickers I?ve seen at every Microsoft briefing I?ve attended since that campaign started are needlessly defensive.

Indeed, without trying, I think I?m becoming a ?bilingual? computer user who is happy in either world.

We got a Mac mini for the lab, and that system has been transformed into my current desktop. I?m using Office 2008 for the Mac to write these words, and I use Entourage to check my e-mail and track my calendar (even though I really dislike the product).

I?ve become fairly adept at using a one-button mouse and at using Finder, Spotlight and Dock to quickly access the applications I need to do the research and conduct the tests that are at the center of my daily work life.

I?ve also enjoyed not having to worry about virus scans or Conficker problems. That said, I?m far from smug in my feeling of security on the Mac platform, mostly because I don?t want to jinx my good luck.

As I continue my exploration of Apple technology in the enterprise, I?m going to start probing some of the very practical questions that come with putting this fat client on corporate desktops.

First among these is the question of AppleCare in a large organization. It?s clear that PC maintenance is a significant cost to organizations, and I?m curious to see how the maintenance costs compare on the Mac side. I?ll also be looking into how services, including warranty services for hardware, are handled for midsize to large enterprises.

Image maintenance, the real costs of maintaining two sets of desktop infrastructure support systems, and the differences in hardware and software costs are other areas I?ll be exploring.

No, I?m not forgetting the elephant in the room: Apple?s higher equipment costs. I?ll be evaluating whether this premium up-front is balanced by lifetime savings.

I invite you to come along as I take a sabbatical from the PC world (at least as far as my desktop is concerned) to see what strategic lessons can be learned for alternative desktop strategies in the not-too-distant future.

Read It – Before Buying Antivirus Software

Today computer has become one of the most inseparable parts of our lives. Most of all people cannot survive without working on computer. It is used in everywhere be it in schools, universities, offices or at homes. But now the computers especially those which have internet connection are not at all secure. There are a number of people who try to serve their malicious business using computer. These people are called hackers. They craft some malicious software which sneak into the computer of innocent people without their knowledge or consent.  The sole intension of them is to scare people and scam their precious money.

If you are a regular computer user and concerned over the security of your PC you should have the necessary security measures such as antivirus and anti-spyware software installed in your system.

Every single day a new virus is being crafted by the hackers and it infects almost 8 out of 10 computers.  Once a PC gets infected with virus it becomes slow and eventually gets damaged. But the more harmful thing is that there are some viruses that can steal all you personal online information and keep your identity at risk. Therefore, it is necessary to install a good antivirus software to prevent such virus attacks.

Apart from virus attacks you have to be careful about the spyware attacks as well. Spyware are more harmful than virus. It is crafted to log your keystrokes and browsing habits to steal all your personal online information such as your bank account or credit card details and sent it to the hacker who has created it. Therefore, it is important to have anti-spyware software than antivirus software.

Moreover, there are lots of hybrid threats which have the features of both spyware and virus. Conficker is the latest example of this kind of hybrid threats. Therefore it will be good for you to install both antivirus and anti-spyware software to ensure the safety of your computer.

If you are looking forward to install proper security measures instead of buying an antivirus software you should buy the security software. It can provide you complete solution and defend both spyware and virus attacks.

SUPERAntiSpyware Professional: Review

While many PC owners already know that it’s vital to their online security to have a good antispyware program, choosing the right one is not an easy task. Indeed, antispyware software comes in all shapes and with numerous additional features. Antispyware modules are found in registry cleaners and atomic clocks, weather software and hard drive defragmenters. It’s in the point of this article to discuss whether such integration is really beneficial to end-users. I will try to concentrate on reviewing a desktop security program ? SUPERAntiSpyware.

In the eyes of savvy Windows users this tiny application may look not appealing enough because of absence of extra options. SAS doesn’t contain parental controls, it doesn’t play MP3 files and comes with no skin support.

But let’s face it, is there a real need for such extras? My strong belief is that every software should have a laser-targeted utilitarian mission; we don’t use Microsoft Office for creating videos, and we don’t open Notepad for creating cartoons. Every software performs well in its own area.

And so does SUPERAntiSpyware Professional.

Since it comes as separate application, it is lightweight, takes up a bit of hard drive space, is easy to install and navigate through the menu. SAS scanner is designed to fight malware ? rootkits, dialers, sneaky Trojans. Below you’ll find a short list of features that I consider to be appealing to all conscious Windows users.

1. Rock-solid, stable, reliable application. No memory conflicts, co-resides with all major antivirus programs. No freezing or hang-ups. Surprisingly, but many competing products never achieve this level of perfect coding despite being higher-priced.
2. Little memory footprint. While latest antispyware products easily consume up to 100 Megabytes of RAM in idle mode, SAS real-time monitor sits in the tray using under 400 Kilobytes of memory. It’s unbelievable. Owners of older computers with little RAM will like this program for that feature alone.
3. Daily automatic updates. For every downloaded antispyware definition there’s a detailed description provided.
4. One-time payment makes a copy of this software eligible for lifetime updates. There are no recurring subscription fees.
5. A bunch of features to please both novices and experiences users. SAS helps to restore Network Configuration, desktop settings, unblock Windows modules (e.g. Task Manager, Registry Editor, Command Prompt Environment) commonly disabled by latest threats.
6. SAS can be updated on offline computers as well. The program website lists the latest installer to update each copy of the software with latest definitions. The installer can be downloaded onto a USB flash or other type of portable storage device.

I personally use SUPERAntiSpyware with avast! antivirus and find this configuration to perform quite effectively. While users of other security programs get infected with Conficker and Vundo malware, I’ve never seen these threats pass through my security shield.

Keeping in mind the costs involved in removing malware and restoring backups, I believe it makes sense to at least try out SUPERAntiSpyware.

Part one: Top free antivirus or anti-virus software

What Security Will Look Like in 2010

It used to be that end-of-year security predictions were bold and almost science-fictiony. They as vgp-bps8 have become more conservative this year and therefore more reasonable. I’ve been barraged with them and have attempted to collect the best here.

It’s clear to me and many others like that the major security development of 2009 was the emergence of rogue security software, a.k.a. “scareware,” as the biggest problem out there for most users. Rogues have been around for years, but their escalation in 2009 was palpable. Many of the 2010 predictions have to do with where rogues go next, and this is a reasonable line of speculation. Rogues are about making money more directly than prior forms of malware, and the predictions deal with how they plan to do that.

Security vendor Fortinet predicts expansion of some of the 2009 rogueware trends: affiliate networks and ransomware. We have reported recently on rogueware that encrypts your files and demands money for a decryption key. They also foresee increased sophistication of rogueware business models, including expanded affiliate networks, although these were news over a year ago.

Symantec as has been moving for a while in the direction of relying on reputation as a major factor in determining the security of files and other data, and this factor leads the predictions for 2010 from MessageLabs, Symantec’s secure e-mail hosting service. For large companies like Symantec with customers and honeypots world-wide, reputation is an invaluable tool. For smaller actors there have been predictions for years (from yours truly, for example) of more open markets for reputation services. These companies exist and may be doing well, but their rise has been subtle so far. Nothing about 2010 should make them more prominent.

For the most part Symantec’s predictions are low-hanging fruit and undifferentiated from the pack: social engineering will be the major hook (it has been for years), rogues will escalate (everyone says this, it’s obvious), social networking third-party apps will be target of fraud (this has been happening this year, of course it will continue and accelerate), URL shortening will be popular with phishers (and has been for a while). They do predict that CAPTCHA technology will improve, which would be good, but that the use of real people in CAPTCHA sweat shops to solve them will increase.

Another Fortinet prediction has to do with the growth of the money mule business, and this too seems reasonable. We first started hearing about as sonywidespread use of money mules a few months ago. A weak economy will make easy money schemes more tempting, but the real news is about schemes by ID thieves to scam other people into laundering funds unwittingly.

F-Secure’s Security Threat Forecast 2010 is one of the better ones like 7 will sell a lot in 2010, XP will drop below 50%, this will severely cut the amount of low-hanging fruit for attackers?I agree entirely; I’ve seen this coming for years and I think 2010 is the year it really begins to happen. It as could have been earlier if Vista hadn’t been so poorly-received.

IP-based geolocation will allow attackers to localize their messages?Some of this happens already, but it’s true that it’s growing and it’s an obvious way for attackers to grow internationally, or even to customize locally within national markets. “We may see a large-scale internal attack lenovo t61 battery against a target such as Google Wave.”?Interesting and plausible, but just a guess. “Attacks related to online games will continue. Such sites and games are particularly popular in the Asia-Pacific region. Not enough focus is put on securing them and the problem will be further fueled by the fact that many users are younger and therefore more vulnerable to experienced cyber-criminals.”?We really don’t see so much of this in the US, but it’s a big issue in the far east. Perhaps there are ways those attacks could migrate over here.

It’s a staple of yearly predictions that heretofore untouched platforms will see attacks for the first time. I can’t remember the last time that next year wasn’t the first year of real mobile malware, and yet it never really materialized, especially in the US. Many vendors make the usual predictions in this regard, but nobody has anything specific to say and it’s hard to get too worked up about it. This time it’s not just mobiles and the Mac, but Vista and Windows 7, both of which are uncommon targets for malware.

What could make things better in 2010? It’s just a business phenomenon, but my money’s on application whitelisting, as I argued last month. For years it’s been understood by many that blocking (blacklisting) new threats was a strategy losing out from sheer volume against the tidal wave of new malware variants. Wouldn’t it be better to approve what is known to be good and to reject everything else? New business-oriented tools make this practical, whereas in the past it was a difficult approach to implement. Sadly, consumer-oriented whitelisting is only primitive at this point and will remain so in 2010.

I spoke with Sam Curry, Chief Technology Officer, Marketing, at RSA about their expectations for the new year. Curry picks up on the theme of rogue vendors and other malefactors looking for better ways to make money and points to some of the less-obvious trends: They will focus less on the big score and instead find ways to bleed you slowly so that you don’t notice that you’re being taken. We saw this recently in the case of a bank Trojan that tried to keep withdrawals low enough that they wouldn’t get noticed. He also sees rogues looking to offer more actual value to users in an attempt to make the sale. This could include utilities like system optimizers of dubious value, but we’ve already had reports of rogue products built on free anti-virus systems like ClamAV which are actual AV products, but not necessarily all that good in any one distribution.

Curry’s real hope for security is industry collaboration: Security firms already talk to each other a lot and even share research, but a lot more could be done. I agree with Curry that this could help, but I suspect that companies will always be more self-interested than public-spirited, and perhaps they should be. A lot of talking was done last year about the Federal Government acting through a new “cybersecurity czar,” but nobody seems to want that position (including RSA’s President Art Coviello, who was reported to have turned it down recently).

Coviello sent out his own predictions to press folks like me. He says they see a rise in coordinated attacks with the goal of harvesting PII (personally identifiable information) from systems. Don’t be surprised if such information is combined in sophisticated databases with other information, public and semi-public, like Facebook profiles. There’s a lot of information out there about you, and if someone could put it all together they might be able to impersonate you with it. To combat these trends Coviello sees cloud-based security services as essential and he’s got a point. Such coordinated systems can know a lot more, and stay more up to date.

Websense has their own list of security trends for 2010. Much of it is the same (mobile malware, Macs attacked, etc.) but there are more interesting ones. We saw in 2008 examples of malware distributors going beyond infecting ad banners and instead buying actual ad space. Websense expects more of this and I wouldn’t be surprised by it. It takes money to make money. They also predict that “web 2.0″ sites will be popular targets. I agree, but I think it has less to do with “web 2.0″ than the fact that the sites are popular.

Trend Micro’s 2010 Future Threat Report has one observation that has been largely true for a while, but should be uncontroversial by now: Global outbreaks will become extinct and localized, targeted attacks will grow. The closest thing to such an attack we’ve had recently is Conficker and it’s clearly the exception to the rule. Other eye-catching bullet points in the Trend Micro report: “Windows 7 will have an impact since it is less secure than Vista in the default configuration“?(Wow, that’s bold. They must be talking about UAC changes. I think the security impact will be minor.) “Bots can’t be stopped anymore and will be around forever“?(Sad but true.)

Even cherry-picking aggressively I’ve covered a lot of ground here. Overall I’m optimistic. Even if we know that some problems can’t be solved, I think we know more than ever about how individual users and companies can protect themselves, if they want to take the time and money to do so. New secure versions of products and tools to use are better than ever.
