How Email ID's are Hacked

 A Hacker always come up with innovative ideas to hack email ids. Fake sms and email bomber softwares are one of them. Now let us have a look at how this sms and email bombers are used to hack email ids on a large scale. So what the hacker will do is, make a simple program with Graphical user interface using programing language like Visual Basic or Java (This basic programs are very easy to make if you have some knowledge of Visual Basic). The GUI is kept very basic with minimum options. Now when the user fills the fields and presses "bomb" instead of doing its said work it will just deposit the username and the password in the hackers database and give the users some silly error like "Server busy" or "The target has blocked you" etc. So don't be surprised when you receive a email about Viagra or Porn sites because after collecting enough of this email ids the hacker will just sell them to site owners.

I am not saying that all this softwares are fake, there are some genuine software which really work.But they have their limitations. Do you really think that Gmail will allow anybody to bomb anybody? It will quickly understand your intentions and stop you.

So next time if the thought of bombing comes in your mind. Just pause for a minute and think, do you really want to do this? my personal opinion about bombing is that it is very childish and immature and if anybody gets satisfaction or happiness by doing such dumb things then he should get some psychological help.

Some Advice For You !! Who Want To Become Hacker ;)

********************************************


1) Never trust sites that ask
you for money in return of
Hacking Softwares or who
claim to Hack Email Id’s in
return of money. All such
things are Scam . Nothing Works.

2) There is NO DIRECT
SOFTWARE to Hack Facebook ,
Google , Yahoo or any other
big website. All the softwares
that claim to do so are scam.
They are just meant to take your money and in worse
cases, those softwares have
trojans or keyloggers in them.
As a result your account gets
hacked trying to hack others.

3) NEVER EVER use the
keyloggers or trojans you find
as freeware on internet.
Hackers are not fools. They
compile keyloggers and
trojans almost with any such software and when you install
them , you are already hacked
before even trying to hack
others.

4) You are never going to be a
good hacker without the
knowledge of programming
and scripting languages. When
you are going to use only
ready made softwares and would depend on them for
hacking anything then your
functionality would be limited
upto the functionality of the
software. When you are not
going to use your brain , just doing the copy paste thing,
then how can you even think
of being a good hacker.

5) If you are a good Hacker,
you already become a good
programmer , a good script
writer , a good web developer
and an excellent security
expert. Well any good Hacker will/should have good
knowledge of various aspects
and programming languages.
to do XSS (Cross Site
Scripting ) , PHP INJECTION , SQL
INJECTION , PHISHING , FOOTPRINTING etc… you will
have to be good at
programing and scripting. And
when you know the Various
loop holes , vulnerabilities and
security tips, you already become a Computer Security
Expert. So Never Ever Under estimate
the term Hacker. A Hacker Is
Not a person who just hacks
email id’s or servers but a True
Hacker is a Computer Genius
who the knowledge of computers more than anyone.

What is computer hacking? Introduction to Hacking

What is computer hacking?
Hacking is the process of taking advantage of weakness in a computer or computer network to accomplish his goal. The person who is engaging in hacking activities  called as 'Hacker'.  Hackers may be motivated by a multiple reasons, such as profit, protest, challenge or just for fun.

Cracker

One who breaks security on a system. Coined ca. 1985 by hackers
in defense against journalistic misuse of hacker (q.v., sense 8). An
earlier attempt to establish ‘worm’ in this sense around 1981–82
on Usenet was largely a failure.

Use of both these neologisms reflects a strong revulsion against
the theft and vandalism perpetrated by cracking rings. While it is
expected that any real hacker will have done some playful cracking
and knows many of the basic techniques, anyone past larval stage
is expected to have outgrown the desire to do so except for immediate,
benign, practical reasons (for example, if it’s necessary to get
around some security in order to get some work done).
Thus, there is far less overlap between hackerdom and crackerdom
than the mundane reader misled by sensationalistic journalism
might expect. Crackers tend to gather in small, tight-knit,
very secretive groups that have little overlap with the huge, open
poly-culture this lexicon describes; though crackers often like to
describe themselves as hackers, most true hackers consider them a
separate and lower form of life.

It’s clear that the term cracker is absolutely meant to be derogatory. One
shouldn’t take the tone too seriously though, as The Jargon File is done with a
sense of humor, and the above is said with a smile. As we can see from the
above, illegal or perhaps immoral activity is viewed with disdain by the “true
hackers,” whomever they may be. It also makes reference to cracker being a
possible intermediate step to hacker, perhaps something to be overcome.

Script Kiddie

The term script kiddie has come into vogue in recent years. The term refers to
crackers who use scripts and programs written by others to perform their intrusions.
If one is labeled a “script kiddie,” then he or she is assumed to be incapable
of producing his or her own tools and exploits, and lacks proper
understanding of exactly how the tools he or she uses work. As will be apparent
by the end of this chapter, skill and knowledge (and secondarily, ethics) are the
essential ingredients to achieving status in the minds of hackers. By definition,
a script kiddie has no skills, no knowledge, and no ethics.

Phreak

A phreak is a hacker variant, or rather, a specific species of hacker. Phreak is
short for phone phreak (freak spelled with a ph, like phone is). Phreaks are
hackers with an interest in telephones and telephone systems. Naturally, there
has been at times a tremendous amount of overlap between traditional hacker
roles and phreaks.

White Hat/Black Hat/Gray Hat

White Hat Hacker:

White Hat hackers are good guys who does the hacking for defensing.  They probably work an organization for providing security.

Black Hat Hacker

Black hat hackers are bad guys(the malicious hackers or crackers).  They usually steal the other bank information and steal the money.
They use their skills for illegal purposes.
They are creators of viruses,malware,spyware.
They will destroy your pc.

Gray Hat Hackers

Grey hats are hackers who may work offensively or defensively, depending on the situation.
This is the dividing line between hacker and cracker. Both are powerful forces on the Internet,
and both will remain permanently. And some individuals qualify for both categories. The
existence of such individuals further clouds the division between these two groups of people.
In addition to these groups, there are self-proclaimed ethical hackers, who are interested in
hacker tools mostly from a curiosity standpoint. They may want to highlight security problems
in a system or educate victims so they secure their systems properly. These hackers are
doing their “victims” a favor. For instance, if a weakness is discovered in a service offered by
an investment bank, the hacker is doing the bank a favor by giving the bank a chance to rectify
the vulnerability.
