Let's learn the basics of cyber security and hacking. and how to hack. It's our first class on ethical hacking. so we won't learn so much. just the basic.
(you have to always remember that we are white hat hackers)
ok! so this is the easiest way of hacking. suppose you want to target someone to attack on that person's device. then all you have to do just try to know about his favorite things. suppose his favorite thing is car then you have to post something in his social media accounts something he will like about your post
(you have to do it regularly. cuz there are not much chance that it will work in single try. if possible use multiple accounts)
. and add this text and a link like ----> "Here's are some techniques to be secured.
here's the link of a sample fishing page.
(just for educational purposes. as a white hacker never try to harm someone for any kind of personal reasons.)
click on this text to open a sample fishing page(it's a sample fishing page. so never try to enter your real account information. i've made it for educational purposes only. if you want to try it then input fake informations)
warning: never try to apply it on someone practically without any reason.
spywares are some applications that collects your personal information from your device and sends to hackers. spyware can access your camera, microphone or screen to watch and spy on you.
(we are not learning spyware making currently. cuz it won't be so easy. we will learn it when we will complete our basic lessons in ethical hacking.)
Btw if you are using Android or ios then you don't have to be much worried about it. cuz normally most of spywares are made for window os. cuz window os is normally uses in official works.word list is the easiest and oldest technique to crack password
Hackers makes a list of most used passwords like "1234"," abcd","password","1111" etc. they uses these most used password list at starting and then they gives a large password word's pattern. what looks something like this--->
aaaaa
aaaab
aaaac
aaaad
aaaae
aaaaf
.....
.....
.....
cosml
cosmm
cosmn
cosmo
[password matched. password is "cosmo"]
so word list will try these all generated words until your password unlocks. This is how the pattern works.
as i told you it's the easiest way to crack password. and easy means it will take time to crack password.
so does it take long time?
answer is yes. cuz it has to try all words that you can make.
so how much time it can take?
answer is depends on your password. if your password is so weak like "623556" then any hacker can crack it in 0.2 second only. or if your password has 8 characters with mix of capital letters, small letters, numbers, special characters. then it can take more than 3 years to crack.
So this is our today's lesson. next lesson we will learn that how to setup a word list. I think it's enough for today. cuz it's 2023 only and we can finish our ethical hacking learning in Just one year if we continue like this.
Note these in your diary. and give a test on cosmo max app's education section. try these on virtual device to try it practically.
