HACKING: EXPLORING THE

WORLD OF CYBER
ATTACKS

LEARN ABOUT THE ART OF HACKING, COMMON


TARGETS AND TOOLS, AND THE FUTURE OF
CYBERSECURITY.

BY – Shankar Paswan
THE BASICS OF HACKING
• Exploring Motivations
• From curiosity to profit, we'll look at why hackers hack.
• Understanding Vulnerabilities
• We'll cover common vulnerabilities exploited by malicious hackers.
• The Role of Human Error
• The weakest link in any system is often human error. We'll look at
how hackers take advantage of this.
FAMOUS
•
HACKS IN HISTORY
Sony Pictures
• In 2014, a group hacked into Sony Pictures and leaked unreleased movies and
personal emails. The fallout was felt worldwide.
• Equifax
• In one of the largest data breaches in history, hackers netted almost half of all
US adults' personal information from Equifax in 2017.
• Stuxnet
• Widely believed to be of state origin, the Stuxnet worm targeted Iran's
nuclear program and is one of the most sophisticated attacks to date.
TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES OF THE TRADE
• Social Engineering
• Hackers use psychological manipulation to get targets to divulge sensitive
information.
• SQL Injection
• By injecting malicious code into a website's SQL database, hackers can steal data or
take over the site.
• Phishing
• Fake emails and websites trick users into providing login credentials or other
sensitive data.
• Encryption and Decryption
• Hackers use advanced tools to decrypt sensitive data, or encrypt viruses to evade
detection.
POPULAR TARGETS FOR HACKERS

• Government and military entities


• Financial institutions
• Hospitals and healthcare providers
• Large corporations
• Small businesses and individuals
CYBERSECURITY MEASURES TO PROTECT
AGAINST HACKING

• Secure Passwords
• Using complex passwords and two-factor authentication can reduce the
risk of hacking.
• Update Software
• Keeping software up to date helps to plug vulnerabilities that can be
exploited by hackers.
• Back Up Data
• Backing up data can help to protect against ransomware attacks or data
loss due to hacking attempts.
THE FUTURE OF CYBERSECURITY
• AI vs. Hackers
• Will AI be able to outsmart hackers, or will hackers learn to use AI to their
advantage?
• The Rise of Cyberwarfare
• As countries continue to develop digital weapons, cyberwarfare has become a
new front in international relations.
• The Internet of Things
• As devices become more connected, the potential for widespread hacking
grows.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
• Hacking and cyber attacks are an ever-growing
threat to individuals, businesses, and governments.
By understanding the tools and techniques used by
hackers, and implementing strong cybersecurity
measures, we can help protect ourselves from
malicious attacks in the digital age.
