Vulnerabilities are the tricks-of-the-trade for hackers, giving an intruder the ability to heighten one’s access by exploiting a flawed piece of logic inside the code of a computer. Like the hackers that seek them out, vulnerabilities are usually quite mysterious and hard to prove they even exist. They are confusing or undocumented source code, usually [...]

Port scanning determines which ports are listening to the active connections on the subjected host. These ports represent potential communication channels. With the help of port scanning we get close to the network communication scenario. We get to know more about victim’s network which is useful for further attacks.

Their thrill comes from system infiltration for information reasons. Hackers unlike “crackers and anarchist” know being able to break system security doesn’t make you a hacker any more [...]

A wire-tap device that plugs into computer networks and eavesdrops on the network traffic is known as the Packet Sniffer or protocol analyzer. Same as we tap any phone call this sniffing allows us to listen to communication between two or more computers.
Computer conversations consist of apparently random binary data. Therefore, network wiretap programs also [...]

We may receive following four types of states which can allow us to read response of the network connection, that whether it was accepted or why and where it was rejected, dropped or lost.

The behavior of packets and its responses explained last post has been noted by a number of firewall vendors. By understanding such enumerations,  the have modified their security system’s for high anonymity by spoofing the source address of the RST/ACK packet to be that of the target host. As such, the response received by an [...]
