...Instead of settling for a few thousand dollars in a bank robbery, those with enough computer knowledge can walk away from a computer crime with many millions. The National Computer Crimes Squad estimates that between 85 and 97 percent of computer crimes are not even detected. Fewer than 10 percent of all computer crimes are reported this is mainly because organizations fear that their employees, clients, and stockholders will lose faith in them if they admit that their computers have been attacked. And few of the crimes that are reported are ever solved. Hacking was once a term that was used to describe someone with a great deal of knowledge with computers. Since then the definition has seriously changed. In every neighborhood there are criminals, so you could say that hackers are the criminals of the computers around us. There has been a great increase in the number of computer break-ins since the Internet...

But if you are like me, all those details of probing ports and playing with hypotheses and pinging down hosts gets a little dizzying. So how about catching our breath, standing back and reviewing what the heck it is that we are playing with? Once we get the basics under control, we then can move on to serious hacking. Also, I have been wrestling with my conscience over whether to start giving you step-by-step instructions on how to gain root access to other peoples’ computers. The little angel on my right shoulder whispers, “Gaining root without permission on other people’s computers is not nice. So don’t tell people how to do it.” The little devil on my left shoulder says, “Carolyn, all these hackers think you don’t know nothin’! PROOVE to them you know how to crack!” The little angel says, “If anyone reading Guide to (mostly) Harmless Hacking tries out this trick, you might get in trouble with the law for conspiracy to damage other peoples’ computers.” The little devil says, “But, Carolyn, tell people how to crack into root and they will think you are KEWL!” So here’s the deal.

The title of this article basically sums up what the type of threat it is and a general idea of what the article will be about. Turns out there were more to this title than I thought because the person imposing the threat is a network security expert, a white hat hacker. Network Threat A security expert by the name of Eric Butler decided to release a free hacking tool called Firesheep, onto the Internet. Firesheep is an add-on of Mozilla Firefox, which means a Firefox browser has to be installed, to use this software. What is so intriguing about this tool is, no hacking experience is required, and anyone that downloaded this software will be able to hijack login information on an open wireless network. Threat materialized Firesheep was basically designed to targeted sites like Facebook, Twitter, Flicker, Amazon, eBay, etc. Sites that didn’t fully implemented HTTPS. HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, it is a communication protocols that provides encryption communications between its sender and its receiver. Websites that don’t support HTTPS or doesn’t fully use HTTPS are at risk of exposing their users’ information during their session with the site. Firesheep nourished on websites without HTTPS.

What is Phishing? 5.1 Introduction 5.2 Types of Phishing 5.2.1 Clone Phishing 5.2.2 Spear Phishing 5.2.3 Phone Phishing 1. Hacking & Phishing No, we're not talking about baiting the hook while you have a bad cold. Hacking and Phishing are two very different types of computer security threats. Hacking is an extremely y high tech attack which requires you to take certain precautions to protect your computer and al l of the data which is stored in it. Phishing, on the other hand, i s decidedly low tech and just requires a dose of common sense to ward off the dangers. 2. What is hacking? Because the Internet is simply a network of computers that are al l tied together, every one of them (including yours) has the capability to "talk" to any other one. That means that a determined criminal can gain unauthorized zed entry to your PC once he knows your computer's "address". These criminal s are called "hackers". 3. How hackers discover your PC’s address? Your computer l eaves its address al l over the Internet whenever it visits a web site. The addresses can be found in the log files which are automatically generated by every web server among other pl aces. Some hackers use what is known as "port scanning" software which simply goes out on the Internet and el electronically knocks" on the door of every connected computer it can find to see if any will...

...community that belongs to a country called the "internet". Social networking has many negative aspects to it and it should be restricted as it is not safe, causes social problems and health problems. Social networking can be an excellent motivator for people to interact socially because It is safer than meeting random people on the street and can help people who are depressed or deal with other social health problems. Social networking is not safe as it does not protect children, teenagers and adults and they are used and abused through cyberbullying, fake profiles and sexual harassment. Cyberbullying is the use of cell phones, instant messaging, e-mail, chat rooms or social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter to harass, threaten or intimidate someone (Rouse Margaret, 2010) . In some cases, cyber bullying can be put to an end from the very beginning if the victim puts a stop to it themselves or by telling a superior. The sad part is that some children get affected by this and end up killing each other and committing suicide due to cyberbullying. "Forty-three percent of teens have been victims of social networking" (Harris Interactive Cyberbullying Research Report, 2006) and shockingly enough "almost 80 percent of teens said that they either did not have parental rules about internet use or found ways around the rules"(Harris Interactive Cyberbullying Research Report, 2006). Parents should be aware of their children's internet activity inorder to make sure such incidents...

...rapid growth computer technology and internet in 20th century has increased our dependence on computers and networks, which also led to the growth in new form of crime –“cyber crime” throughout the world. In the first chapter of Principle of Cybercrime, Clough describers the various definitions of cybercrime. It can be defined as crime that committed through internet on a computer. It uses computer as a tool to commit the crime like child pornography, fraud, copyright, piracy and etc. However, computer can also be a targeted victim. There are various types of cyber crime such as hacking, spamming, malware, and etc. More serious, cybercrime can move on to cyberterrorism which the attack on a computer is political, national security, or religious based. In the cyberspace, I believe that cybercrime is same as traditional crime that has three major categories, which are crime against person, crime again poverty, and crime against government. First, cyber crime against person is included cyber-stalking, threat, harassment or even violence/murder in a cyberspace. However, how did law perceive these problems? The law has suggested physical ground. In the case of violence and murder in a gameworld is hard to justify if it can consider as offences since no one is physical injured. Second, cyber crime against poverty includes hacking, fraud, spamming, and spreading virus. Cyber criminals can transform harmful programmers to other computer through internet in order to access to personal information...

So there might not be anything wrong with the server or the website itself and might just be your connection. If you are a customer who has dial-up then it will definitely take you longer to load a page, over a customer that has for example Virgin Media fibre optic. Also if you are using mobile broadband it may take longer if you are in an area with bad signal and you are not getting 4G. So make sure you have fairly fast internet before you complain about slow servers hosting the sites. Browser Some people think using an older web browser might not make a difference but...
