- 14. Information Gathering Is used to gather information as much as hacker can for the target It is also know as ratting the door knob. By information that a hacker has gathered he/she can know what type of attack to use. This is basic and important step in hacking More knowledge in this step will make other upcoming step easy. 14 Illuminative works
- 15. Scanning Scanning refers to pre attack phase where a hacker scan the network to find / gather information about network Scanning includes Network scan Port scan Venerability scan , ect A Hacker can get some high venerability which can give access easily. 15 Illuminative works
- 16. System Hacking Also know as gaining access The venerability that has been found during Information Gathering and scanning is been exploited here There can be many exploits with different level of threats Some of the threats that we are going to discuss are Sql Injection XXS cross site scripting LFI , RFI 16 Illuminative works
- 17. Backdoor and rootkits It is also called as maintaining access. This is done so a hacker can have all type of access for next time without bypassing or breaking the security For this many stuffs are used Trojans Backdoors ,rootkits Shells , ect 17 Illuminative works
- 18. Covering Tracks This is smallest and most important part in Hacking If this is not done then a Hacker can easily get track back. This is step were hacker removes all his/her identity or tracks History files : sh : .sh_history csh : .history ksh : .sh_history bash: .bash_history zsh : .history Backup Files : dead.letter, *.bak, *~ 18 Illuminative works
- 19. What does Ethical Hacker do ? They basically ask themselves following question What does a hacker/ cracker sees in the target ? Information gathering Scanning What can he do with that vulnerability ? Gaining Access Maintaining it System hacking Has anyone already noticed the vulnerability ? Maintaining Access Footprinting 19 Illuminative works
- 20. What is vulnerability Research ? Discovering and designing vulnerability in any system is called vulnerability. It can be classified in two ways Threat Level Low Medium High Exploit Range Local Remote 20 Illuminative works
- 21. Why a Ethical hacker need to have vulnerability ? To identify correct network vulnerability Protect network form being attack To get information that helps to prevent security problems To gather information about virus/ worms/ Trojan To find weakness in n/w and inform it to admin To know how to recover from such attacks 21 Illuminative works
- 22. From were you can research ? There are several websites from where you can stay up dated and can research Mine favourite are Packet storm : www.packetstormsecurity.com Security focus: www.securityfocus.com SANS internet storm : http://isc.sans.edu Security magazine : www.securitymagazine.com Exploit-db: www.exploit-db.com 22 Illuminative works
- 23. How can you conduct Ethical Hacking ? Talk to your client on the needs of testing Prepare NDA document and ask them to sign them Prepare a team of Ethical Hacker and create a schedule for testing Conduct the test Analyze the result and prepare the report Deliver the report to the client 23 Illuminative works
- 24. Process of Ethical Hacking Formulating the Plan specific plan Risk involve Venerability management Selecting Tools Adequate Reports on presented to managers Licensed/OS Tools documentation vulnerabilities or nontechie types Executing the plan narrow your focus Search Internet Narrow your scope Perform the attacks, with a more critical eye 24 Illuminative works
- 25. How many times we should do ? Make sure your systems are secure. New hacker exploits and security vulnerabilities are regularly uncovered At any time , everything can change Software upgrades Adding computer systems Applying patches. Thus regularly testing should be done. 25 Illuminative works
