Hacking Terminology

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Black & White Hat:
Black hat is used to describe a hacker who breaks into a computer system or network with malicious intent. Unlike a white hat hacker, the black hat hacker takes advantage of the break-in, perhaps destroying files or stealing data for some future purpose. The black hat hacker may also make the exploit known to other hackers and/or the public without notifying the victim. This gives others the opportunity to exploit the vulnerability before the organization is able to secure it.

VPN:
VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. A VPN keeps your wireless communications safe by creating a secure "tunnel," though which your encrypted data travels. These tunnels cannot be entered by data that is not properly encrypted. Not only is data encrypted when you use a VPN, but the originating and receiving network addresses are also encrypted. This adds an extra layer of security.

Proxy:
Proxy sites enable you to bypass your own Internet provider and browse through the proxy web site. All that you have to do is type the web site address you would like to visit in the form they provide, and start browsing. Once you keep browsing using that form, you are protected and your real IP address is not being logged.

Botnet:
A botnet is a network of infected computers that all connect to one area where they are commanded by the botnet admin.

Bot:
A bot is a malicious program which has several purposes. They are usually told what to do by a botnet admin although many of the features now are automated.

Bombs:
It masses tings for example an Email bomber will send hundred of Emails.

Computer worm:
A computer worm is a self-replicating malware computer program. It uses a computer network to send copies of itself to other nodes (computers on the network) and it may do so without any user intervention. This is due to security shortcomings on the target computer. Unlike a virus, it does not need to attach itself to an existing program. Worms almost always cause at least some harm to the network, even if only by consuming bandwidth, whereas viruses almost always corrupt or modify files on a targeted computer.

SQL injection:
A injection SQL queries into another database or using queries to get auth bypass as an admin.

DDos:
A DDoS Attack (or Distributed Denial of Service Attack) is pretty much the same as a DoS- but the difference in results is massive; as its name suggests the DDoS attack is executed using a distributed computing method often referred to as a 'botnet army', the creation process of which involves infecting computers with a form of malware that gives the botnet owner access to the computer somewhat- this cold be anything from simply using the computers connection to flood to total control of the computer - these attacks affect the victims computer -> server more than a regular DoS - because multiple connections are being used against one connection, think of it like a fight, if there is a 1-on-1 fight; the chance of the good guy winning is far higher than if he was being beaten up by several thousand tough guys.

DoS:
A DoS Attack is a Denial of Service attack. It involves using one computer's Internet connection to flood a server with packets (TCP / UDP) - The objective of this attack is to 'overload' the servers bandwidth / other resources, This will cause a Denial of Service to anyone else that tries to use the server for whatever reason (HTTP [Website]) hence the name Denial of Service Attack ( credit to manipulate)

Crypter:
It encrypts your server so it will be UD or even FUD again.

Binder:
This tool will bind a server and another file together so when a slave opens it the server will be activated and the other file opened . Most server creators contain binders.

Phishing:
It’s mostly a copy from a real site but when you log in your login information it will be sent to someone.

FU Sad Awesome

Fully Un-Detectable. The infected file can’t be found by any anti-virus.

U Sad Awesome

Un-Detectable. The infected file can’t be found by most anti-virus but some will find it.

Stealer:
This is also a logger . When you send this to your slave it will send every password saved on computer ( Steam accounts, Facebook, and so on) It also sends product keys (Windows keys, Office)

RAT:
It’s stands for Remote Administration Tool. If your slave opens the server you will gain control (webcam, files, cmd)

Keylogger:
As the name suggests it logs the keys that are pressed and sends them to an Email or FTP server.

Server:
Almost every tool makes a “Server“ this is the file you send to your slave and when they open it they will be infected.

Slave:
The person you will abuse, your target.

Weird, I read through this once before but I forgot to comment or give you a thanks. This information, even though something someone should already know, is great information for those who are new and are just barely learning.

Good job. Smile
