NMAP (NETWORK MAPPER)

Nmap is short for network mapper. It is an open source security tool for network exploration, security scanning and auditing. However, nmap command comes with lots of options that can make the utility more robust and difficult to follow for new users. Nmap can be a valuable diagnostic tool for network administrators while they can be also a potent reconnaissance tool for the black-hat community (hackers, crackers, script kiddies, etc). Once the network is charted out using tools like lan mapshot, the nmap can be used to determine the type of services and hosts running in the network.So here it is a tutorial showing how to get things done....

INSTALL A SOFTWARE ON LINUX

TO DEMONSTRATE HOW TO INSTALL APPLICATIONS IN UBUNTU WE TAKE HERE EXAMPLE OF INSTALLING A MOST COMMON TEXT EDITOR SUBLIME TEXT IN UBUNTU 12.04 

Generally we use apt-get to install software on Debian based Linux Distros, which is a built-in program to fetch binaries from repositories and runs a script to install it on Linux. But what if we have to do it manually. So here it is a tutorial showing how to get things done manually....

VIRTUAL COMPUTING SIMPLIFIED

Unaware of the executable files!!! , don’t know coding!!! , don’t know how to check whether an exe a virus or trusted files, untested code, or untrusted programs from unverified third-parties, suppliers, untrusted users and untrusted websites. Viruses, Malwares, Rootkits, Backdoors and what not are not flowing on internet these days. How to choose which file to execute and which will not open a backdoor in my PC. Does one need to know coding language for that, and if so how many. I say today there is no need to know the coding to test whether an exe is a trusted file or a virus u can just execute it in a virtual environment and can’t test the behavior of the exe file. Let’s see how to do this

WPA ENCRYPTION DEMYSTIFIED

In your home, chances are that you have a wireless Wi-Fi router for your network. This router lets you connect things like your laptop and your iPad/iPhone/iPod to the network through Wi-Fi. Many people leave their Wi-Fi routers completely open with no security. This is a problem for two reasons:
1. Anyone who wants to can connect to your network and use your bandwidth. If they download something illegal (music files, child porn, etc.), it gets traced back to you rather than them. 

2. Given the right equipment, they can snoop on your network traffic and see all the data moving on your network.
Because of these two problems, people turn on encryption to secure their routers. WEP was the first encryption standard, but it has problems that make it not so secure. WPA is the second encryption standard and solved most of the problems with WEP. Therefore, people who are conscious of security and use it on their routers almost exclusively use WPA.

AMAP

Amap is a scanning tool to identify the applications running on specific ports. It is achieved by sending triggers to ports and receiving the responses. Then it prints out the service if it finds the correct match. Amap supports tcp, udp, regular and SSL-enabled ASCII and binary protocols.
Generally we know that HTTP runs on port 80, SMTP on port 25 and so on, but sometimes while dealing with proprietary protocols running on non-standard ports, we are unable to determine what application is running on these ports.But Amap may help to do this because it may really perform an SSL connect if we wish.

AUTOMATER

Automater is a tool by tekdefense for information gathering on websites making the work of intrusion analysts easier. It scans URL/Domain, IP address. It searches websites like IPvoid.com, Robtex.com, Fortiguard.com, unshorten.me, Urlvoid.com, Labs.alienvault.com, ThreatExpert, VxVault, and

VirusTotal for finding extensive information about the target. It is supported by both Linux and Windows. It is coded in python so one needs to install python first in order to run the tool. (Extra Libraries needed with linuxhttplib2, re, sys, argparse, urllib, urllib2)

One can download the tool at the following link:‐

 HACKING-(AN ART OF INVENTIVENESS)

The very first question that strikes our head is 'What basically is hacking?'

So peeps,I am going to make you conversant on the same.

Hacking is a process of attempting to gain an unauthorized access to computer resources for the purpose of modification or destruction of those resources.

It is essentially impossible to decide in a clean cut-way whether hacking is good or bad because the decision is completely reliable on the context.For an instance,you could be hacking into a pedophile's email/website or bank account to stop him/her from exploiting.Or you could be hacking to steal the photos of the children to put on a paedopholic website.Nevertheless we are going to discourse hacking in an irrefutable manner.

A benefit to the computer community is the free-whilling exploration of systems by the benign hacker.We are referring to an ethical hacker i.e. a computer or network expert who attacks a security system on the behalf of its owners,seeking vulnerabilities that a malacious hacker may exploit.It helps families of the deceased people to access accounts to perceive what their final viral transmissions may have been or gain access to some accounts to close them down.This practice enables an organisation to learn how nefarious hackers can exploit vulnerabilities in its computer systems.

Basically we get to know that no technology is 100% secure and hacking is required in every field.
