so I decided to discuss it. Well we better start with the definition of hacking. Hacking can be defined as unauthorized use, or attempts to circumvent or bypass the security mechanisms of an information system or network. I far as I know there was two types attacking method to gain access. The first one is the popular type which is dictionary attack. The program will try the password one by one from a password and username list. The reason why this will work because a lot of people use common password such as 1234, qwert , bob , apple or any simple words that can get from a dictionary. To prevent this attack strong password with combination of alphabets and numeric is required. Please refer to the previous post to learn more of complex password creation. I don’t really like to type again everything. The second attack is the brutal force. This attacking methods guarantees access simply because of it’s method. It try password one by one from aaa , aab , aac until it cracks and it only matter of times. So the more complex password would take longer time. The prevention is to limit the wrong password trials but it is on the server side / admin control. So if a admin is stupid enough the it will open a hole for the hacker to attack them and there are nothing for user to do except setting a long complex password so that It would take a long time to crack and hopefully the hacker will give up before they cracker the password. I heard that a lot of people account has been hacked and from what I know it mostly because of they didn’t set a strong password. I had come across program that hack game account and I already tested the program it really works. And yes I test it with my own account and password because I don’t want to go so low to hack in to other people account. Mostly simple password would be the first to be cracker so for the third time make sure you set a strong password. |
