Hackers

This technique is basically used by the important user. Another technique is called “Social Engineering”. Each computer has a packet, witch is codes and numbers that computers use to communicate. Probably the biggest and most known about way is “Viruses and Worms”. Within those packets can be very important things such as usernames and passwords, credit card numbers, etc…. Another way of hacking is called “DNS Spoofing”. com, the altered DNS entry will send the user somewhere else and then if someone wanted to buy something online, when they enter their credit card numbers, the number is stolen by the hacker. They may pose as an employee and say that they have forgot their passwords to something and somebody else may give a password to the hackers and then the hacker has access. Another way for a hacker to get stuff he or she wants is using “Packet Sniffers”. not answer any other questions what so ever. When you do this, your computer translates the words into numbers and finds the web page that you wanted to go to and then brings it up on your screen. This is when a hacker or hackers will physically pose as an employee or a computer technician and will talk to unsuspecting people at a business or something and ask for passwords an stuff like that. Most of the viruses and worms have been modified so that once opened, they automatically send themselves to anyone and everyone in the victims address book.
