❇️ Why do cyber attacks happen?

Cyber attacks are designed to cause damage. They can have various objectives, including the following :

Financial gain : Most cyber attacks today, especially those against commercial entities, are launched by cybercriminals for financial gain. These attacks often aim to steal sensitive data, such as customer credit card numbers or employee personal information, which the cybercriminals then use to access money or goods using the victims' identities.

Disruption and revenge : Bad actors also launch attacks specifically to sow chaos, confusion, discontent, frustration or mistrust. They could be taking such action as a way to get revenge for acts taken against them. They could be aiming to publicly embarrass the attacked entities or to damage the organizations' reputation. These attacks are often directed at government entities but can also hit commercial entities or nonprofit organizations.

Nation-state attackers are behind some of these types of attacks. Others, called hacktivists, might launch these types of attacks as a form of protest against the targeted entity; a secretive decentralized group of internationalist activists known as Anonymous is the most well known of such groups.

Cyberwarfare : Governments around the world are also involved in cyber attacks, with many national governments acknowledging or suspected of designing and executing attacks against other countries as part of ongoing political, economic and social disputes. These types of attacks are classified as cyberwarfare.

Best Programming Languages for Hacking:

1. Python
It’s no surprise that Python tops our list. Referred to as the defacto hacking programing language, Python has indeed played a significant role in the writing of hacking noscripts, exploits, and malicious programs.

2. C
C is critical language in the Hacking community. Most of the popular operating systems we have today run on a foundation of C language.
C is an excellent resource in reverse engineering of software and applications. These enable hackers to understand the working of a system or an app.

3. Javanoscript
For quite some time, Javanoscript(JS) was a client-side noscripting language. With the release of Node.js, Javanoscript now supports backend development. To hackers, this means a broader field of exploitation.

4. PHP
For a long time now, PHP has dominated the backend of most websites and web applications.
If you are into web hacking, then getting your hands on PHP would be of great advantage.

5. C++
Have you ever thought of cracking corporate(paid) software? Here is your answer. The hacker community has significantly implemented C++ programming language to remove trial periods on paid software and even the operating system.

6. SQL
SQL – Standard Query Language. It is a programming language used to organize, add, retrieve, remove, or edit data in a database. A lot of systems store their data in databases such as MySQL, MS SQL, and PostgreSQL.
Using SQL, hackers can perform an attack known as SQL injection, which will enable them to access confidential information.

7. Java
Despite what many may say, a lot of backdoor exploits in systems are written in Java. It has also been used by hackers to perform identity thefts, create botnets, and even perform malicious activities on the client system undetected.

🗃 What Are The Risks Of Using A Public Wi-Fi? 🗳
━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The problem with public Wi-Fi is that there are a tremendous number of risks that go along with these networks. While business owners may believe they’re providing a valuable service to their customers, chances are the security on these networks is lax or nonexistent.

📱Man in the Middle Attacks

One of the most common threats on these networks is called a Man in the Middle (MitM) attack. Essentially, a MitM attack is a form of eavesdropping. When a computer makes a connection to the Internet, data is sent from point A (computer) to point B (service/website), and vulnerabilities can allow an attacker to get in between these transmissions and “read” them. So what you thought was private no longer is.

📱Unencrypted Networks

Encryption means that the messages that are sent between your computer and the wireless router are in the form of a “secret code,” so that they cannot be read by anyone who doesn’t have the key to decipher the code. Most routers are shipped from the factory with encryption turned off by default, and it must be turned on when the network is set up. If an IT professional sets up the network, then chances are good that encryption has been enabled. However, there is no surefire way to tell if this has happened.

📱Malware Distribution

Thanks to software vulnerabilities, there are also ways that attackers can slip malware onto your computer without you even knowing. A software vulnerability is a security hole or weakness found in an operating system or software program. Hackers can exploit this weakness by writing code to target a specific vulnerability, and then inject the malware onto your device.

📱Snooping & Sniffing

Wi-Fi snooping and sniffing is what it sounds like. Cybercriminals can buy special software kits and even devices to help assist them with eavesdropping on Wi-Fi signals. This technique can allow the attackers to access everything that you are doing online — from viewing whole webpages you have visited (including any information you may have filled out while visiting that webpage) to being able to capture your login credentials, and even being able to hijack your accounts.

📱Malicious Hotspots

These “rogue access points” trick victims into connecting to what they think is a legitimate network because the name sounds reputable. Say you’re staying at the Goodnyght Inn and want to connect to the hotel’s Wi-Fi. You may think you’re selecting the correct one when you click on “GoodNyte Inn,” but you haven’t. Instead, you’ve just connected to a rogue hotspot set up by cybercriminals who can now view your sensitive information.

❇️ How to Find Server’s IP Address of Any Website
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

💠 Using Command Prompt For Windows

👉 In this method essentially ping commands work for us to locate the IP address of any site. Actually, the ping command works on ICMP protocol which is made for servers address. Hence this command uses to locate the server address.

🔹Step 1: Click on the Start button and type CMD. Open CMD from the list.

🔹Step 2: Now you will see an elevated Command Prompt Window.

🔹Step 3: Type ping Site name (for ex-ping Kalilinux.com ).
And press Enter.

✅ Now, this will show you the IP address of the site and all trip details of the site location.

💠 Using Terminal In MAC Or Linux

👉 The terminal is like the command prompt but it is for Linux and macOS. In this, we can use the same command that we did in CMD. Now in this terminal, you will lookup for the Ip address of any site using a simple command.

🔹Step 1: Open terminal by a pressing CTRL+ALT+T ok keyboard at once.

🔹Step 2: Now type ping -c1 Sitename (for ex:- ping -c1 kalilinux.com).

✅ The above command will display the IP address of the entered website.

🗃 What Is The Importance Of A Data Backup? 🗳
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The main reason for a data backup is to have a secure archive of your important information, whether that’s classified documents for your business or treasured photos of your family, so that you can restore your device quickly and seamlessly in the event of data loss.

Still, 30 percent of people have never backed up their devices. This might not seem like a lot — until you put it in perspective with how often data is lost:

🔵 113 phones are lost or stolen every minute. (World Backup Day)
It was estimated that ransomware attacked a business every 14 seconds in 2019. (Cybercrime Magazine)
🔵 1 in 10 computers are infected with viruses each month. (World Backup Day)
🔵 Laptops are stolen every 53 seconds in the U.S. (Kensington)
Over 70 million cell phones are lost each year. (Kensington)
🔵 So, think of a data backup as the bedrock of your digital disaster recovery plan. By backing up your devices, you’re already one step ahead of any cyber threats that might result in data loss.

It’s worth noting, however, that data loss isn’t always the result of cyber threats. It can also be the case that your external hard drive or computer wear out and you lose your data. That’s just the nature of any piece of hardware, and backing up your data can help you restore it on a new device.

🌐 Top-3 Ways to Avoid Downloading Trojans on Android Devices.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
1⃣ Always Update Your Android

👉 Every time Google releases a new version of Android or a new update to existing versions, it comes with various bug fixes and enhanced security features.

👉 However, Android updates are something that we always ignore, and that can cost us a lot. Therefore, make sure to install the updates as soon as it arrives.

2⃣ Don’t go for Unknowns

👉 The first and foremost thing that you should always consider while downloading the apps or the tools on your Android device is that you should always go for the safe places to download anything and not go for any unknown sources that you probably are not sure about reliability.

👉 Mostly the Trojans come only with those apps which have been downloaded from other sources rather than the well-known safe sources like Play Store. These infected files from unknown sources could combine with the Trojans which could then reach your device.

3⃣ Be Careful With Free Stuffs

👉 Well, we all love to play Android games that come for free. However, most of the Trojans are often hosted in the free version of apps and games.

👉 Moreover, modded files are the most dangerous file that you can ever download on your Android because they can grab all the information from your device. Even if you are going for a free app or game, make sure to choose a trusted developer.

✅ Thats it, Make sure to Do all these we mentioned. And use Malware eliminating apps as well.

❇️ What is the difference between the dark web vs. the deep web ?

- The terms "dark web" and "deep web" are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same. Rather, the dark web is a small, less accessible part of the deep web.

- Both the dark and deep web share one thing in common: Neither can be found in search engine results. The difference between them primarily lies in how their content is accessed. Deep web pages can be accessed by anyone with a standard web browser who knows the URL.

- Dark web pages, in contrast, require special software with the correct decryption key, as well as access rights and knowledge of where to find the content.

- If you imagine the web in three layers, at the very top would be the surface web, whose content is indexed by search engines like Google and Yahoo. Beneath it is the deep web, and then located underneath that is the dark web.

❇️ How is the dark web accessed ?

- The dark web can't be accessed through your typical browsers, such as Firefox or Chrome. It can only be accessed with a specialized, anonymous browser, such as Tor or the Invisible Internet Project (I2P).

- This type of web browser keeps a user's identity hidden by routing web page requests through a series of proxy servers that renders an IP address untraceable.

- Websites on the dark web have an unconventional naming structure. Therefore, users need to know the URL they want to access beforehand. Furthermore, dark web search engines aren't as effective and prominent as Google.

- Instead of ending in .com or other common suffixes, dark web URLs typically end in .onion, a special-use domain suffix. Dark web sites also have URLs that are a mix of letters and numbers, making them hard to find or remember.

- For example, the now-defunct darknet black market, The Silk Road, went by the URLs silkroad6ownowfk.onion and silkroad7rn2puhj.onion.

🌀How to Hide IP Address From Trackers & Websites on iPhone.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
🌐 This is indeed a useful privacy feature as it lets you hide your IP Address too.

⚠️Important: Intelligent tracking prevention won’t block ads. It just blocks trackers that track user’s browsing habits without any permission. And the feature is only available on iOS 15.

🔹Step 1: First of all, open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.

🔹Step 2: On the Settings, scroll down and tap on the ‘Safari’.

🔹Step 3: On the next page, scroll down and find the ‘Privacy and Security’ Section. You need to find the option ‘Hide IP Address.’

🔹Step 4: On the next page, you will find three options –

Trackers and Websites

Trackers Only

Off

🔹Step 5: If you want to hide your IP Address from both trackers & websites, select the ‘Trackers and Websites’ option.

✅ That’s it! You are done. This will stop websites from tracking user’s browsing habits.

👉 Although the new privacy feature is great, it still works only when you are using the Safari browser. If you want to hide the IP Address, it’s best to use a VPN app.
