What are Phases of Hacking ?

PHASES OF HACKING




Phases of Hacking:-

There are mainly 5 phases in hacking. Not necessarily a hacker has to follow these 5 steps in a sequential manner. It’s a step wise process and when followed yields a better result.


1.Reconnaissance
2.Scanning
3.Gaining Access
4.Maintaining Access
5.Clearing Track


Now i will explain each of the phases clearly !!


1. Reconnaissance:



This is the first step of Hacking. It is also called as Footprinting and information gathering Phase. This is the preparatory phase where we collect as much information as possible about the target. We usually collect information about three groups,

      

  1. Network
  2. Host
  3. People Involved

There are two types of Footprinting:

Active: Directly interacting with the target to gather information about the target. Eg: Using Nmap tool to scan the target


Passive: Trying to collect the information about the target without directly accessing the target.


This involves collecting information from social media, public websites etc.


 2. Scanning:



  Three types of scanning are involved:


⭕️ Port scanning: 

In this phase we scan the target for the information like open ports, Live systems, various services running on the host.



⭕️ Vulnerability Scanning:

Checking for weaknesses or vulnerabilities which can be exploited. Usually this can be done with help of automated tools.



⭕️ Network Mapping:

Finding the topology or map of network, routers, firewalls servers if any, and host information and drawing a network diagram with the available information.


 This map may serve as a valuable information throughout the haking process.    


3. Gaining Access:



 This is the phase where an attacker breaks into the system using various methods and tools.

After entering into the system, he/She has to increase his/her privilege to administrator level. So he can install / Modify / Hide / Delete any application.

4. Maintaining Access :



  It is very necessary to maintain access to the target until attacker finishes the tasks he planned to accomplish in that target..

So he should maintain or persist the connection in the background without the knowledge of the user. This can be done using Trojans, Rootkits or other malicious files.

5. Clearing Tracks:



 Nobody wants to caught. An intelligent hacker always clear evidences so that in later point of time , no one will find any traces leading to him.

This involves modifying/corrupting/deleting the logs and modifying registry values, deleting applications he used and deleting folders he used.

Linux for Beginners | Tricky Hash

Linux Operating System is the best known, free and open source operating system. Linux is broadly used in operations of server based machines, security tools and number of such categories. Fedora, Cent OS, Ubuntu, Debian are one of the famous flavours from Linux family. If you are looking to experience Linux Operating System, then it is highly recommended to make yourself aware regarding few important commands.  There are generally two types of user in Linux, Regular User who celebrates limited access and Root User who celebrates complete access. Let's see few master terms and commands every beginners should know in Linux OS: • Root User : Root User in Linux celebrates access on all the commands and files. • man : This "man" command provides complete manual of any command. For example: "man passwd" • locate : This "locate" command helps user to find the files by name. • ls : This "ls" command helps to list the table. • pwd : PWD here stands
