Most Popular Hacking Methods 2015

Today i am going to share the  commonly used and most popular all hacking techniques. Everyday lope holes are found and new methods of hacking are invented. But this post covers the common techniques that almost every hacker use, and we can say that these are the backbone of hacking.

So lets talk about the hacking techniques.

• Denial of Service 

  Denial of Services or DOS attack is used by hackers to bring the whole network down without gaining the access of the network. This attacks works by flooding the access routers with huge amount of traffic. Hence it is one of the easiest way of bring the whole network down.

•  Sniffing

  Sniffing is an act of intercepting Transmission Control Protocol (TCP/IP) packets. Then sniffing technique may be happen through eavesdropping or something else.
  

•  Spoofing

  In Spoofing technique hackers make new TCP/IP packets by using someones IP address. In order to forward packets through packets through internet routers use destination IP, but during this whole scene it leave Source IP. Only destination computer used this address in-order to respond to source computer.
  

•  SQL Injection

  SQL Injection is a techniques used for exploiting SQL vulnerabilities in database layer of any application. Hackers use common SQL commands to get access of database all with all access privileges.
  

•  Viruses and Worms

  Viruses and Worms are the programs coded for destructive purposes. Hackers or programmers code them for many purposes like some viruses are used for hacking PC, some are used for deleting computer files etc.
  

• Brute Forcing

  This is one of the annoying and time consuming method. It require set of passwords and a tool which is used for automatically logging into account by trying those set of passwords automatically.
  

• Phishing

  In this method attacker make some fake page asking for email, password, username etc in such a beautiful way that it doesn't look fake. And after this he forward that page to the one who he wants to hack his username or password. When the user enters his personal email address, username, password etc then that information is got by the hacker and then he hacks the account using that information of email and password. This is one of the best way of hacking Facebook, twitter, Gmail etc accounts.
  

• Cookies Stealing

  Cookies Stealing is the technique to exploit the valid session of a valid computer. It is a method of getting illegal access to users information or account by stealing his browser cookies.
  

• Cross Site Scripting(XSS)

  This is a security vulnerability which is mainly found in web applications. It allows attacker to inject client side harmful script into website pages. This techniques is also used for stealing cookies. Hence hackers can exploit this vulnerability in many different ways.
  

• DNS Spoofing or Poisoning

  DNS spoofing is a method used for spoofing DNS. Attacker  get access to DNS control panel thereby redirecting the domain(website) to some other website, hence diverting whole traffic to other website.

• Cross-Site Request Forgery(CSRF)

  CSRF occurs when malicious site, blog, email, instant messages etc cause the browser of user to perform some unwanted actions on a site in which user is currently online.
