v WHAT IS CYBER-CRIME?

Cyber-Crime is a crime that involves a computer and a large network. In Cyber crime there is lot of activities involves like stealing a data from company, raiding bank accounts, hacking of social accounts ,etc. Cybercrimes are offences that are committed against individuals or groups of individuals with a criminal motive to intentionally harm the reputation of the victim or cause physical or mental harm, or loss, to the victim directly or indirectly, using modern telecommunication networks such as Internet chat rooms, emails, notice boards and groups and mobile phones such crimes may threaten a nation’s security and financial health.

Activity crossing international borders and involving the interests of at least one nation state is sometimes referred to as cyberwarfare. The international legal system is attempting to hold actors accountable for their actions through the International Criminal Court. 

v IMPACT OF CYBERCRIME ON COMPANY STOCK MARKET :

 

In many cybercrime news stories, the perpetrator is a hacker. In other stories, the perpetrator has relatively little computer expertise. Types of crime included cyber-terrorism, e-theft, netspionage, online credit card fraud, and phishing. Affected companies include dot-com giants Yahoo, Amazon, and EBay, and banks such as JP Morgan Chase and Washington Mutual. Damages vary from the closure of websites to stolen confidential information.

 

v TYPES OF CYBER-ATTACK :

 

§  Phishing

§  Misusing personal information

§  Hacking

§  Child pornography

 

Ø  Over  20,000 cases of cyberstalking are being reported each year.

Ø  Over 90% of victims are women.

Ø  It is estimated there may be as many as 500,000 online victims each year.

Ø  Cyberstalkers feel they are anonymous and can get away with anything.

vWhat is Hacking?

 

Hacking is process of gaining unauthorized access into a computer or group of computer. This is done through cracking of password.

 

 

Ø  The most basic tool used by every hacker is hacking operating system. Hacking process works differently on different operating system.

 1.    Kali Linux

 

Kali Linux operating system is specially designed for digital forensics and penetration testing. Kali comes pre-installed with more than 300-400 penetration testing programs. Kali Linux supports both 32-bit and 64-bit.

Kali Linux supports various development boards like Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, etc.

 

Ø Tool categories

·        Information gathering: These tools are used to gather information regarding DNS, IDS/IPS, network scanning, operating system, routing, SSL, SMB, VPN, VOPI, SNMP, email and VPN.

• Web applications: These tools are related to Web applications like content management systems, database exploitation, application proxies, Web vulnerability scanners, etc.
• Password attacks: These tools perform password attacks via brute force, dictionary attacks, etc.

Kali Linux is bundled with several tools that perform wireless attacks, reverse engineering, stress testing, hardware hacking and forensics.

 

2.   BackBox :

 

BackBox OS is designed with the objective of being faster, easily operable and having a minimal desktop environment. The key advantage of BackBox is that its own software repositories are updated at regular intervals to keep the distribution stable and popular for real-world operations.

 

The BackBox distribution consists of more than 70 tools for tasks ranging from Web analysis and network analysis to stress testing, sniffing, vulnerability assessment, forensics and exploitation.

 

 

Ø Tool categories

 

·        BackBox Linux is one of the first platforms supporting the cloud for penetration testing.

·        It is fully automated and non-intrusive, with no agents or network configuration changes required to achieve regular automated configuration backups.

·        Saves time and eliminates the requirement of tracking individual network devices.

 

3.    Parrot Security Operating System :

 

Parrot Security OS is based on Debian GNU/Linux combined with the Frozenbox OS and Kali Linux to provide ethical hackers the best-in-class experience of penetration and security testing in real-world environments. It is also designed to provide vulnerability assessment and mitigation, computer forensics and anonymous Web browsing, by the Frozenbox team.

Ø Tool categories

It supports FALCON 1.0 programming language, multiple compilers, debuggers and the Qt5 and .NET/mono frameworks.
