Hey Readers, It has been over 2 years that I wrote something on Learn Hacking
as I was occupied with a lot of work but I feel like I should continue
my passion and I am back with more fresh information about hacking and
would be regular from now on.
A lot has been changed in the Hacking / Ethical Hacking world in the last 2 years so I thought it would be a good point to start with – “How Hackers Hack and How to Protect Yourself”
Well, Hacking is an art. But Mostly there are only 2 ways in which a Hacker can hack you. It can either be a Server Side attack or a Client Side attack ie.. You can get hacked either because the hacker got a way to get into the web Server because of Website Security loop hole like SQL Injection, XSS attack etc or Client Side Hacking Techniques like Phishing, Social Engineering Etc.
The Attack on the Web Server can again be either direct or remote
ie.. One can just come open handedly and attack your web server or can
use TOR, Proxies, Remote Servers or VPN to get into your server.
So, how do we protect ourselves?
Well the steps are very simple.
How to Prevent Client Side Attacks:
Would be writing a detailed article on -“How to Hide IP Address and its Importance” in the next article.
Till then stay tuned. Our goal is to spread awareness to that you can protect yourself in the insecure world of Internet.
