  • Security is much larger than just packets, firewalls, and hackers. Security includes:

    • Policies and procedures

    • Liabilities and laws

    • Human behavior patterns

    • Corporate security programs and implementation

    • Technical aspects- firewalls, intrusion detection systems, proxies, encryption, antivirus software, hacks, cracks, and attacks

    • Understanding hacking tools and how attacks are carried out is only one piece of the puzzle.

    • The process of attempting to gain or successfully gaining, unauthorized access to computer resources for the purpose of help or secure system is called hacking.

      • 1966 – Robert Morris introduces the concept of safe hacking.

      • 1969 – Development in the field of hacking.

      • 1990 – Electronic frontier foundation was founded.

      • 1995 – Mark Andreessen & Eric release mosaic

      • Hacker is not cyber-criminal but he is the very intelligent person who uses his knowledge in constructive manner to secure system & never damage data. He knows all about the operating system & different holes in the system

      • .

        • Person who enter into other’s system and violet the system, damage the data, create havoc is called cracker

        • Cracker is cyber criminal

        • They can be easily identified because their actions are malicious

        • Crackers exist because human nature is just so, frequently driven by to destroy instead of create

        • They are used for different purposes like for profit, some company use them for disabling the competitor company, for cracking credit card number

        • Hacker’s programs to check integrity of other programs, thus when hackers create program it automatically checks remote machine security structure

        • They always do constructive work

        • Crackers rarely make their own program instead, they steal tool, programs from others

        • Crackers creates nothing & destroy much
