A Paper Presentation on
INTERNET SECURITY AGAINST HACKING SYSTEMS
ABSTRACT
The internet has been a wide usage in all the fields in the present competitive world. It is being used in the education, research, business and what not, in everything. But providing security for the users information or transactions or any other data in any of the field has become a paramount. This paper gives a vivid picture of “E-commerce” and the vulnerabilities they are facing in providing a secure system for the users. In other words, how the security attacks are made either by the hackers or the intruders, the ways how they attack and exploit to illegitimate means. This paper is an…show more content… Most users' knowledge of security vulnerabilities of their systems is vague at best. A popular technique for gaining entry into the shopper's system is to use a tool, such as SATAN, to perform port scans on a computer that detect entry points into the machine. Based on the opened ports found, the attacker can use various techniques to gain entry into the user's system. Upon entry, they scan your file system for personal information, such as passwords. A user that purchases firewall software to protect his computer may find there are conflicts with other software on his system. To resolve the conflict, the user disables enough capabilities to render the firewall software useless.
Sniffing the network: In this scheme, the attacker monitors the data between the shopper's computer and the server. There are points in the network where this attack is more practical than others. If the attacker sits in the middle of the network, then within the scope of the Internet, this attack becomes impractical. A request from the client to the server computer is broken up into small pieces known as packets as it leaves the client's computer and is reconstructed at the server. The packets of request are sent through different routes. The attacker cannot access all the packets of a request and cannot decipher what message was sent.
Guessing passwords: Another common attack is to guess a user's password. This style of attack is manual or automated. Manual attacks are laborious, and only
Cybercrime and internet hacking has been an ongoing issue in contemporary life. “Internet hacking is the practice of modifying or altering computer software and hardware to accomplish a goal considered to be outside of the creator’s original objective.” (Merriam-Webster). Any individual, business, or even government with a computer is not safe from these computer criminals. So, the main question is: How do we fix this cybercrime that does millions of dollars in damage, and should we implement “ethical
complex computer based system. With the increasingly use of computer and explosive growth of the Internet has brought many good things: electronic commerce, online banking, e-mail, video conferencing etc. The improvement of systems security to prevent criminal hacker has become an important concern to society. There are many ways to protect those information systems; it seems that the Ethical Hacking is a better way. Therefore, whether to teach or not teach the "Ethical Hacking" as a course in Tertiary
The Internet is still developing and e-commerce is on its advance. More and more computers get connected to the Internet, wireless devices and networks are booming and sooner or later, nearly every electronic device may have its own IP address. The complexity of networks is increasing,the software on devices gets more complicated as well as user friendly.
Therefore, Security is a very popular topic and quite some effort are made in securing services, systems and networks. On internet, there is
developments and issues that have arisen in regards to the internet. One development and issue is ethical hacking. To understand ethical hacking one must be able to define what it means to be a hacker. “A hacker is an individual who intends to gain unauthorized access to a computer system” (Laudon & Traver, 2015). Oxford Dictionaries defines an ethical hacker as “a person who hacks into a computer network in order to test or evaluate its security, rather than with malicious or criminal intent” (Ethical
this paper, we define a category of computer security exploits called "cognitive hacking." Loosely speaking, cognitive hacking refers to a computer or information system attack that relies on changing human users ' perceptions and corresponding behaviors in order to be successful. This is in contrast to denial of service (DOS) and other kinds of well-known attacks that operate solely within the computer and network infrastructure. Several cognitive hacking techniques are illustrated by example and
BASICS OF ETHICAL HACKING :
Abstract: The state of security on the internet is bad and getting worse. This assignment analyse the importance of being about ethical or ethical behaviour. One really important reason for exhibiting ethical behaviour and being ethical is that its inspired trust and trust is very important thing when you looking for people to engage you in the activity of ethical hacking. They would like to make sure that you not gonna bounced the exceed of your authority and also you

Ethical Hacking: Saving Our Future
When most people think of a hacker they think of a person trying to break into a computer system to steal information or commit cyber vandalism. While this is a form of hacking, a better definition of a hacker can be found in the Dictionary of Computer and Internet Terms saying that “a person who programs, computers for recreation or as a hobby.” Hacking is becoming more and more common in the world of today because the information has become more accessible through
growth of the Internet has brought many good things: electronic commerce, easy access to vast stores of reference material, collaborative computing, e-mail, and new avenues for advertising and information distribution, to name a few. As with most technological advances, there is also a dark side: criminal hackers. Governments, companies, and private citizens around the world are anxious to be a part of this revolution, but they are afraid that some hacker will break
hacker nobody knows you" (Rishabh Surya). Hacking is known in the community as a way of stealing information from people and it can be but it can also be a lot more. Hacking is a dangerous tool that can lead to a life of crime. When people hack it is to mostly gain information that would benefit them in some way. Hackers can obtain information from a lot of places but they usually put their focus into one place so they are able to easily obtain information. Hacking is wrong and it is used for wrongful
