Hello, today we have this nice guide for all.
Algorithm :- A series of steps specifying which
actions to take in which order.
ANSI Bomb :- ANSI.SYS key-remapping commands
consist of cryptic-looking text that specifies,
using ansi numeric codes to redefine keys.
Back Door :- Something a hacker leaves behind on
a system in order to be able to get back in at a
later time.
Binary :- A numbering system in which there are
only two possible values for each digit: 0 and 1.
Black Hat :- A hacker who performs illegal actions
to do with hacking online. (Bad guy, per se)
Blue Hat :- A blue hat hacker is someone outside
computer security consulting firms who is used to
bug test a system prior to its launch, looking for
exploits so they can be closed. Microsoft also
uses the term BlueHat to represent a series of
security briefing events.
Bot :- A piece of malware that connects computer
to an attacker commonly using the HTTP or IRC
protocol to await malicious instructions.
Botnet :- Computers infected by worms or Trojans
and taken over by hackers and brought into
networks to send spam, more viruses, or launch
denial of service attacks.
Buffer Overflow :- A classic exploit that sends more
data than a programmer expects to receive. Buffer
overflows are one of the most common
programming errors, and the ones most likely to
slip through quality assurance testing.
Cracker :- A specific type of hacker who decrypts
passwords or breaks software copy protection
schemes.
DDoS :- Distributed denial of service. Flooding
someones connection with packets. Servers or
web-hosted shells can send packets to a
connection on a website usually from a booter.
Deface :- A website deface is an attack on a site
that changes the appearance of the site or a
certain webpage on the site.
Dictionary Attack :- A dictionary attack is an attack
in which a cyber criminal can attempt to gain
your account password. The attack uses a
dictionary file, a simple list of possible passwords,
and a program which fills them in. The program
just fills in every single possible password on the
list, until it has found the correct one. Dictionary
files usually contain the most common used
passwords.
DOX :- Personal information about someone on the
Internet usually contains real name, address,
phone number, SSN, credit card number, etc.
E-Whore :- A person who manipulates other people
to believe that he/she is a beautiful girl doing
cam shows or selling sexual pictures to make
money.
Encryption :- In cryptography, encryption applies
mathematical operations to data in order to
render it incomprehensible. The only way to read
the data is apply the reverse mathematical
operations. In technical speak, encryption is
applied mathematical algorithms with a key that
converts plaintext to ciphertext. Only someone in
possession of the key can decrypt the message.
Exploit :- A way of breaking into a system. An
exploit takes advantage of a weakness in a
system in order to hack it.
FUD :- Fully undetectable, can be used in many
terms. Generally in combination with crypters, or
when trying to infect someone.
Grey Hat :- A hacker is someone who is able to
manipulate the inner workings of computers,
information, and technology to work in his/her
favor.
Hacktivist :- A hacktivist is a hacker who utilizes
technology to announce a social, ideological,
religious, or political message. In general, most
hacktivism involves website defacement or denial-
of-service attacks.
IP Address :- On the Internet, your IP address is
the unique number that others use to send you
traffic.
IP Grabber :- A link that grabs someone’s IP when
they visit it.
Keylogger :- A software program that records all
keystrokes on a computer’s keyboard, used as a
surveillance tool or covertly as spyware.
Leach :- A cultural term in the warez community
referring to people who download lots of stuff but
never give back to the community.
LOIC/HOIC :- Tool(s) used by many anonymous
members to conduct DDoS attacks. It is not
recommended to use these under any
circumstances.
Malware :- Software designed to do all kinds of evil
stuff like stealing identity information, running
DDoS attacks, or soliciting money from the slave.
Neophyte :- A neophyte, “n00b”, or “newbie” is
someone who is new to hacking or phreaking and
has almost no knowledge or experience of the
workings of technology, and hacking.
Smith :- Somebody new to a forum/game.
OldFag :- Somebody who’s been around a forum/
game for a long time.
Packet :- Data that is sent across the Internet is
broken up into packets, sent individually across
the network, and reassembled back into the
original data at the other end.
Phreak :- Phone Freaks. Hackers who hack cell
phones for free calling. Free Long distance calling.
Etc.
Phreaking :- The art and science of cracking the
phone network.
Proxy :- A proxy is something that acts as a server,
but when given requests from clients, acts itself
as a client to the real servers.
Rainbow Table :- A rainbow table is a table of
possible passwords and their hashes. It is way
faster to crack a password using rainbow tables
then using a dictionary attack (Brute Force).
Remote Administration Tool :- A tool which is used
to remotely control (an)other machine(s). These
can be used for monitoring user actions, but often
misused by cyber criminals as malware, to get
their hands on valuable information, such as log
in credentials.
Resolver :- Software created to get an IP address
through IM (instant messenger, like Skype/MSN)
programs.
Reverse Engineering :- A technique whereby the
hacker attempts to discover secrets about a
program. Often used by crackers, and in direct
modifications to a process/application.
Root :- Highest permission level on a computer,
able to modify anything on the system without
restriction.
Rootkit (ring3 ring0) :- A powerful exploit used by
malware to conceal all traces that it exists. Ring3
- Can be removed easily without booting in
safe mode. Ring0 - Very hard to remove and very
rare in the wild, these can require you to format,
it’s very hard to remove certain ring0 rootkits
without safe mode.
Script Kiddie :- A script kid, or skid is a term used
to describe those who use scripts created by
others to hack computer systems and websites.
Used as an insult, meaning that they know
nothing about hacking.
Shell :- The common meaning here is a hacked web
server with a DoS script uploaded to conduct
DDoS attacks via a booter. OR A shell is an
script-executing unit - Something you’d stick
somewhere in order to execute commands of your
choice.
Social Engineer :- Social engineering is a form of
hacking that targets people’s minds rather than
their computers. A typical example is sending out
snail **** marketing materials with the words
“You may already have won” emblazoned across
the outside of the letter. As you can see, social
engineering is not unique to hackers; it’s main
practitioners are the marketing departments of
corporations.
Spoof :- The word spoof generally means the act of
forging your identity. More specifically, it refers to
forging the sender’s IP address (IP spoofing).
(Spoofing an extension for a RAT to change it
from .exe to .jpg, etc.)
SQL Injection :- An SQL injection is a method often
used to hack SQL databases via a website, and
gain admin control (sometimes) of the site. You
can attack programs with SQLi too.
Trojan :- A Trojan is a type of malware that
masquerades as a legitimate file or helpful
program with the ultimate purpose of granting a
hacker unauthorized access to a computer.
VPS :- The term is used for emphasizing that the
virtual machine, although running in software on
the same physical computer as other customers’
virtual machines, is in many respects functionally
equivalent to a separate physical computer, is
dedicated to the individual customer’s needs, has
the privacy of a separate physical computer, and
can be configured to run server software.
