Hacking And Spy Tools For Script Kiddies Password
In recent weeks, the Reserve Bank of Australia has been the target of a, as have South Korean banks and broadcasters and BBC Twitter accounts.The above stories were all reported as 'hacking' – a blanket term readily used to encompass a whole range of attacks, from crashing a server to more sophisticated infiltration, such as stealing passwords. But, generally, news stories don't discriminate.So what are hackers and their methods really like?
Criminal organisations, foreign governments and spy agencies will pay handsomely for the latest zero-day (not publicly known) exploit.Journalist Brian Krebs recently reported a bidding war for a Java exploit valued at more than US$5,000.White Hat Hackers: These are the good guys. White Hats, also known as 'ethical hackers' and 'pen-testers', are security researchers.They test systems (often using the same tools as Black Hats, but within the law) by conducting penetration testing and security audits as a service for businesses and organisations that don't want to be hacked.White Hats report on any vulnerabilities found and what needs to be done to fix them. Both the US and Australian governments have set up competitions to encourage school and university students to take up (White Hat) hacking as a career.(My Swinburne team competed in the pilot version of Australia's Cyber Challenge in 2012 and scored higher than all other Victorian universities.)Grey Hat Hackers: Grey Hats generally work within the law but may publish vulnerabilities and exploits or sell exploits to unknown buyers without asking too many questions.They may also report vulnerabilities to software vendors anonymously to avoid prosecution.

In the realm of opposing the 'if 'they' don't say it, it can't be true' syndrome, it does not seem possible that a computer cannot be totally protected from such intrusion. I have suggested a number of methods myself. Among other things, constructing a separate 'system' inside a larger one, which is subjected to the intruding software before it is allowed in the larger system. If abnormal behavior is noted, it is stopped. Also, it is possible to develop 'interpreter' software that, line by line, scans incoming software and builds up a picture of what that software causes to happen and, if it is dangerous,stops it. The fact such things have not been tried supports that the hackers and developers are one and the same, ruining the very systems they charge huge prices for, forcing constant consumption, taking advantage of the fact that most people using computers know less about them than about any other device they own and so cannot solve their problems!
