computer hacking

ben or anyone who is really smart about computers, can you explain it to me like i'm a 2 year old please?

was just having a convo about this with my boss today and we were really curious about how it works. how do u get someone's password? do you have to send them a file and once they open it, it gives the hacker access?

keyloggers? trojans? wtf u on about woman?

There is no "easy" way.. You need to understand complex code..It takes months to learn.

Trojan: sending a file like a trojan horse, you have to open it and run the .exe file

phishing: fake login pages, this is usually how people get their social networking pages hacked.

social engineering: calling support for the product in question and convincing habeeb in punjab india to reset your password, common problem with xbox live.

lol.

you smoke a lot and it comes naturally.

ok what do you mean "fake login pages". you mean the hacker creates one and somehow gets the victim to sign in?

Shiiit I need to change my avatar.

Usually you sit down in front of an console and start typing commands like "hack www.fbi.com -NOW -3" then a large 3D animation starts following your commands flying through the world wide web until it reaches its target. Pretty easy actually.

This is how it works.

yep.
the more flashy graphics, the more hacking power you have.

Essentially. Often there is a bit of social engineering involved with phishing, too.

For example, a user gets an e-mail something like:

quote:

Facebook is now offering 100 free iTunes downloads for the week of August 23! [bunch of additional, convincing text] Click the following link to log in to your Facebook account and claim your free downloads! http://facebook.freeitunesoffer.com/login

In this case, the user would have registered "freeitunesoffer.com" and made a subdomain of "facebook" to end up with that sort of URL, which might look legit to the unsuspecting n00b. They then create their own login page that looks identical to the real Facebook one, but the form would actually send the information you type in to the creator of the fake page (or wherever they want).

lol

im being serious. i'm genuinely curious. what does the fake login page mean? would that only work if you are trying to hack someone's computer who lives in the same home? you couldn't do that from another computer/another location could you?

I'M IN THE MAAAAIINNFRAAAAME.

ohh ok i get it.

so it only works if the person has your email address though right?

Hacking is not a set process that one goes through in order to "hack" a system. It's complicated, there's a lot of things you can pull to "hack" someone, usually involving some sort of computer code. Basically, if you don't know anything about computer science you're going to have a tough time understanding what hackings all about.

Also, good hackers generally do not share their secrets.

Yes, like once they get an account they will run bots to get them to spam comments on all its friends profiles with like the "free macy's" or whatever that was going around for a while on myspace. When you click that link, it redirects you to a login page that the average moron would just think was the myspace login page, but if you looked at the web URL.

instead of
login.myspace.com

you'd see
login.something.something

GAME OVER, MAN!
GAME OVER!

Well, with the aforementioned method...yes. That's just an example, though.

i know it's complicated i'm not expecting to just know how to do it after reading some posts, but you guys are doing a good job of dumbing it down for me i appreciate it.

would scanning your computer with ad-aware (the free one) help find shit?



* also, what can someone do to prevent being hacked?
