20 Things You Didn't Know About Computer Hacking

20 Things You Didn't Know About Computer Hacking : 
 1 Hacker originally meant “one who makes furniture with an ax.” Perhaps
 because of the blunt nature of that approach, the word came to mean 
someone who takes pleasure in an unconventional solution to a technical 
obstacle. 2 Computer hacking was born in the late 1950s, when members of MIT’s Tech Model Railroad Club, obsessed with electric switching, began preparing punch cards to control an IBM 704 mainframe. 
 3 One of the club’s early programs: code that illuminated lights on the
 mainframe’s console, making it look like a ball was zipping from left 
to right, then right to left with the flip of a switch. Voilà: computer 
Ping-Pong! 4 By the early 1970s, hacker “Cap’n Crunch” (a.k.a. 
John Draper) had used a toy whistle to match the 2,600-hertz tone used 
by AT&T’s long-distance switching system. This gave him access to 
call routing (and brief access to jail). 5 Before they struck 
it rich, Apple founders Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs made and sold “blue
 boxes,” electronic versions of Draper’s whistle. 6 Using a blue box, Wozniak crank-called the Pope’s residence in Vatican City and pretended to be Henry Kissinger. 
 7 Hacking went Hollywood in the 1983 movie WarGames, about a whiz kid 
who breaks into a Defense Department computer and, at one point, 
hijacks a pay phone by hot-wiring it with a soda can pull-ring. 8 That same year, six Milwaukee teens hacked into Los Alamos National Lab, which develops nuclear weapons. 9 In 1988 Robert T. Morris created a worm, or self-replicating program, purportedly to evaluate Internet security. 
 10 The worm reproduced too well, however. The multimillion-dollar 
havoc that ensued led to Morris’s felony conviction, one of the first 
under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (PDF). 11 They all come home eventually. Morris now researches computer science at...MIT. 12 British hacker Gary McKinnon broke into 97 U.S. Navy, Army, Pentagon, and NASA computers in 2001 and 2002. 13 McKinnon’s defense: He wasn’t hunting military secrets; he was only seeking suppressed government files about space aliens. 
 14 According to rumor, agents of China’s People’s Liberation Army 
attempted to hack the U.S. power grid, triggering the great North 
American blackout of 2003. 15 It took IBM researcher Scott 
Lunsford just one day to penetrate the network of a nuclear power 
station: “I thought, ‘Gosh, this is a big problem.’” 16 Unclear
 on the concept: When West Point holds its annual cyberwar games, the 
troops wear full fatigues while fighting an enemy online. 17 
Think your Mac is hackproof? At this year’s CanSecWest conference, 
security researcher Charlie Miller used a flaw in Safari to break into a
 MacBook in under 10 seconds. 18 Cyborgs beware: Tadayoshi 
Kohno at the University of Washington recently hacked into a wireless 
defibrillator, causing it to deliver fatal-strength jolts of 
electricity. 19 This does not bode well for patients receiving wireless deep-brain stimulators. 
 20 The greatest kludge of all? Roger Angel of the University of Arizona
 has proposed building a giant sunscreen in space to hack the planet’s 
climate.</div>

Detecting Rats & Keyloggers Using CMD And Task Manager

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
In this tutorial, I'll be showing you the easiest way of finding out 
malicious applications installed on your PC that transfer data using the
 internet without you knowing it. As stated in the title, we'll be using TaskManager and CMD for the purposes of this tutorial. Part 1 :- Customizing Taskbar 1. To get started, open up your TaskManager by right clicking your TaskBar and selecting TaskManager or just hit CTRL+ALT+DEL to get it open. 
 2. Once that is done, click the "Processes" tab of your TaskManager and
 click View -> Select Columns -> Make sure that "Process 
Identifier(PID)" is ticked. 
 3. Now click the PID column to make sure that all the processes are 
sorted in a specific order. This step is not necessary, but it will make
 it easier for you to detect processes using their IDs. Part 2 :- Using CMD 
 Once you've done that right, we're going to move on to part 2 of our 
tutorial, which is using CMD to view established connections. Assuming you know how to open up CMD, I'm just going to rush through step 1. 1. Start -> Run -> CMD OR Just type in cmd in the searchbar if you're running a system powered by Windows7. 2. Once cmd is open, I want you to type in "netstat -ano". Your result should be something like this: 3. Now what we're interested in are only the connections with the state "ESTABLISHED". 
 Isolate them out and look for the PID right next to them. There will be
 many connections with "ESTABLISHED" state, you'll have to repeat the 
following steps for all of them. 
 This is the fun part. Now go back to the TaskManager and look for the 
name of the process(es) that has the same PID(s) as the one you found 
with the ESTABLISHED connection(s) 
 In the above case, it's a safe and trusted application known as 
Dropbox, so I'm good. But incase you find a process which you do not 
know, if it's something like svchost.exe that you're sure is infected, 
right click the process and select "Open File Location". Now 
all you have to do is right click the file and scan it using your AV or 
upload it to an online scanner such as VirusTotal.com and check if it's 
infected. It's as easy as that. Hope you find this useful.</div>
