Section 6: System Hacking
System hacking is an attempt to manipulate the normal behaviour of the system and gain unauthorised access to perform unauthorised actions. It involves potential activities from simple password prediction to sophisticated attacks in software and hardware. Complete system hacking is all about exploiting the system's weakness. However, the complete goal of a hacker is to gain unauthorised control, execute commands, access data, and perform malicious activities.
Every stage of system hacking is highlighted below
Gaining Access
Gaining access is the first phase of system hacking where the goal of a hacker is to collect enough information about the target system to gain access. This is where hackers try to gain control over the system by identifying system weaknesses. A hacker can also take advantage of software like a brute force attack to predict weak passwords or trick a human mind for their credentials.
Password Cracking
Password cracking is a type of password hacking that refers to the process of retrieving a password from stored or transmitted data. It is a method of guessing a password using applications or tools. It also involves using of application to identify a forgotten password to obtain unauthorised access. With the help of malicious information, a hacker can try password cracking by comparing a list of words to guess the password.
Privilege Escalation
A privilege escalation is a potential cyberattack that starts with the aim of gaining unauthorised higher-level access within a security system. The privilege escalation phase lets the hacker gain access to elevated rights, permissions, or entitlements. This high-level cyber attack bypasses the authorisation channel and successfully accesses the data that are not supposed to have.
Maintaining Access
Maintaining access contributes to the 4th phase of ethical hacking. In this phase, the hacker has already gained access to a system, instead of first and last access they install some software or backdoors to target the machine later in time. This allows the hacker to stay connected with the hacked system for a longer time. This phase is also known by the name of persistence in the system. It maintains access to the compromised system and lets the hacker take ownership of the system.
RootKits
A rootkit refers to the collection of malicious software or programs that provide privileged access to a computer network and application. This malicious software or tool gives remote access to control over a computer system. Rootkits also include additional malware or programs such as ransomware, bots, keyloggers, and trojans. Rootkits are very effective in hacking as they can remain for years without being traced or recognised.
Covering Tracks
This is the last and crucial stage of hacking as covering tracks provides mental peace to the hacker from being traced. This is the phase of hiding and erasing all tracks leading to investigator tracing back. Covering tracks is done by the hacker to free themselves by reverse hack.
Section 7: Malware Threats
Types of Malware
There are 11 common types of malware: viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware, adware, spyware, rootkits, keyloggers, fireless malware, cryptojacking, and hybrid malware. This malware helps in information exploitation and gaining unauthorised access to the system.
Malware Analysis
It is designed to uncover the malware blanket and understand the behaviour and purpose of suspicious files and URLs which disrupt the system's normal functioning. It reduces the chances of potential threats in the system.
Countermeasures and Malware Removal
The process involves the cleaning of suspected URLs and files from the computer network and does not let the system install or update any application or run antivirus. It monitors suspected files or links by running an antivirus program.
Section 8: Sniffing
Sniffing Concepts
Sniffing concepts refers to the process of monitoring and capturing the data passing through a network. The concept is used by the administrator to monitor and troubleshoot traffic. It can be in any form whether in software or hardware.
Sniffing Tools
There are so many tools available for hackers to get information about protocols, sources, destinations, and other data related to traffic.
ARP Spoofing
ARP spoofing in a cyberattack allows a hacker to intercept communication between network devices. ARP spoofing is also known by the name of ARP Poisoning, a man in the middle. The process involves the sending of spoofed messages over a local area network.
MAC attacks
MAC attack is used by the hacker to exploit authentication mechanisms that can unlawfully access and read the system data. In this process, hackers try to hunt the network to find MAC addresses.
DHCP attacks
The technique of DHCP attacks is used by the attackers to find, steal, and manipulate the system information. It is a type of request sent by the attackers to lease all the DHCP addresses.
Sniffing Countermeasures
Avoiding unsecured networks and following an encrypted VPN for all the messages has a leading role in sniffing countermeasures.
