STOP BEING THIS.....Act

Guys, social networking sites are meant for making friendship and extending hand to each other. We the Hackers needs to live with unity and fight odds together. Some say they will unite hackers under so called registered ICA, and give hackers opportunity to earn, but hackers need to expose their identity, address and every credential. The same group bows don in front of Paki hackers, will they be able to save the pride of nation. We all are encouraging directly or indirectly, knowingly or unknowingly towards the fake publicity of duplicate ICA. It’s the name and existence of Indishell. No Cat or Dog has any right to claim the same. If suppose they get it registered also still they are not the sole possessors of the title.
Girls are abused, the racket against some girls on face book in quite visible. They are targeted on day to day basis, how good bad they are? Fake or real they are no matter. They are after all Indian girls and they are doing best in their capacity. No one has right to morph their pics and tarnish their image or tore her pride. Don’t join with any such groups or forces that abuse girls and attack at them for no reason.
I was damn pissed when cat accused AH guys on her blog, she may not know Sai, he is legend in his own way, if AH guys abused someone that does not mean he is bad or he has control over every individual’s behavior. At the same time guys when you are part of some group take care your behavior should not get blot on your group or their re-presenters. Most of the so called indishell members are seen joining other side of ICA, why? If one breaches the trust of group the entire pillar collapses. Be united, you don’t need any KissLe or Kat. It’s who started and has to continue. As far as legal threats from these sides are concerned be fearless, unless and until the crime is proved even judiciary cannot declare you criminals.
In the recent past some girl helped Paki hacker to access r45c4l’s email and face book account and the displays were given to only specific people, but do you know actually who did this? I know. Cat wrote something on HMG, she mentioned some girl sabotaging the faith on Indian girl’s pride, the same girl looped with paki and harassing our own Hacker who is our pride. In your capacity do what you want but don’t handover our people in rivals hand and make fun of them, Sai, snake, hudloom, rascal are like gods for a hacker like me. At least they initiated to fight for pride of nation. Please stand by them when time is odd.
KissLe is clamming his CBI links, knowing all biggies and possessing cyber cell home department, believe me every one knows him as fraudster. He is sinking from all the side. Looking at a five years old child we are not carrying forward this battle against that odd in his group but time comes we are prepared to show everyone their place.
Open your eyes and ACT

Outlaws of Technology!

I n order to study the comparison the between the hackers and crackers, it is important to understand the respective definitions. While apparently the words hacking and cracking seems synonymous, yet there exist certain points of distinctions between the two and the meaning of the words will always be heated topics of debate. Since the very dawn of the civilization, man's hunger to attain the unattainable have went on opening new horizons in almost every aspects of life, and the technology is of no exception to this nature of human. A cracker is a technical person who has mastered the art of breaking systems, often not for acquiring knowledge, by the dint of few programs and softwares used as tools. They are more interested in the system's security without the need of great deal of knowledge, thereby not benefiting much. On the other hand, a hacker who cracks and hacks systems is not only interested in breaking the security of the system but also in knowing about the system's details, by which he gains much more than by simply cracking systems. Unlike a cracker, a hacker generally does not have intention destroy data maliciously or to steel things. A cracker who is often termed to be a cyber burglar brings out significant harm to the network or steels the information like passwords or credit card numbers. A Trojan is capable enough to recognize and record even every single keystroke that you make. Hence even if you do not store any personal or financial records in your system, the hackers can still be able to obtain the information by recognizing the keystrokes.The computer hackers actually trespass or circumvent artistically, yet scientifically into the other computer system with a hunger to know the programmable systems, how they perform and their internal structures, while cracking is slight different in sense. Cracking means to break off the computer's security system. This is a subject matter of hard-core science with an aesthetic undertone of artistic skill that has attracted a few millions of teenagers and young adults all over the world. Delving deep into the concepts, we can compare the hackers and crackers. A hacker is a person who commits the fraudulent act or the penal offense of exploring into the other computers in order to know the details of the programmable system and how they work. On the other level, a cracker is a person just more secretive as compared to the hacker. The cracker breaks through the system's security and proves to be far more dangerous than the hackers who just quench his or her thirst by simply discovering the workings of a system. Hence the crackers can potentially be much more perilous as compared to the hackers. While it is often believed that the hacking is simply exploring into the other computer system with an intention to know how the programmable system works, which is not a fraudulent task unless any sort of vandalism and theft is done by this, another huge section stands strictly against the view and look at the act from the view point of a crime.

a dark side hacker ?

Thanks to Hollywood, black hat hackers have become the iconic image of all hackers around the world. For the majority of computer users, the word hacker has become a synonym for social misfits and criminals. Of course, that is an injustice created by our own interpretation of the mass media, so it is important for us to learn what a hacker is and what a black hacker (or cracker) does. So, let's learn about black hat techniques and how they make our lives a little more difficult.

</p>What Is Black Hat Hacking?

A black hat hacker, also known as a cracker or a dark side hacker (this last definition is a direct reference to the Star Wars movies and the dark side of the force), is someone who uses his skills with a criminal intent. Some examples are: cracking bank accounts in order to make transferences to their own accounts, stealing information to be sold in the black market, or attacking the computer network of an organization for money. Some famous cases of black hat hacking include Kevin Mitnick, who used his black hat hackers skills to enter the computers of organizations such as Nokia, Fujitsu, Motorola and Sun Microsystems (it must be mentioned that he is now a white hat hacker); Kevin Poulsen, who took control of all the phone lines in Los Angeles in order to win a radio contest (the prize was a Porsche 944 S2); and Vladimir Levin, which is the handle of the mastermind behind the stealing of $10'000,000 to Citigroup.

</p>Differences Between White Hat And A Black Hat Hacker

The difference between black hat and white hat hackers is that white hat hacker uses their skills and knowledge as a way to defend someone from attackers. That means that white hat hackers offer their services to corporations, public organizations and educational institutions. These services include a complete revision of their computer network security, implementation of new security systems (they may be hardware or software), user training and future recommendations. All these measures will be able to combat unauthorized hacking; black hat hackers, however, will continue trying.

</p>How To Defeat The Attempts Of A Black Hat Hacker

In order to survive in the World Wide Web, there are certain things that we need to know in order to endure. The first one is that each computer user is responsible for his machine and the data that it contains. It doesn't matter if a transnational spends hundreds of millions of dollars in IT security if an absent-minded employee downloads and installs unauthorized software or falls into the email scheme of black hat hackers.

</p>Basic Knowledge

So, the first thing that we need to know is that computers, and networks, are like houses. If they don't have the windows and doors properly secured, anyone can enter. There are thousands of hackers in the internet looking for computers with unsecured entrances. Even worse, they have programs making the search for them. If you consider that there are hundreds of millions of computers in the world, then it is highly probable that an important percentage of them aren't properly secured.

</p>Firewall

In order to secure our "house", we need to have a firewall installed and properly configured. A firewall is like a lock that assures that all the entrances to your computer are properly closed, so no one from the outside can access it.

</p>Anti Virus Software

Another useful piece of software is the antivirus. Antivirus have been around since the first personal computers since viruses have always existed. Unfortunately, the internet has generated a demographic explosion and now they wander, freely, through the net. There are several software packages in the market, so test the ones with which you feel more comfortable and stay with the one that is more convenient for you.

</p>Regular Updates

The next step is to update your operating system, especially if it is Windows XP. Ninety percent of the worldwide operating system market is owned by Microsoft. For that reason, it is the preferred choice for crackers in the entire world. They are constantly looking for ways to bypass the security of this operating system, looking for weaknesses of all kind (even in something as innocent as the Media Player). In order to stop them, maintain your operating system updated.

</p>Education in Security Techniques

Finally, if you are inside a company, assure yourself that the users are trained. They must be able to detect if they are being victims of cracker scam. It can be through the internet messaging system, an email or even an innocent looking PowerPoint attachment sent by a friend. People are the last line of defense against black hat hacking.Over time, black hat techniques have become more advanced and complex. Although there are computer software programs that can help a cracker in many ways, it is still a profession that requires a knack for computer software and hardware. So, as you may have noticed, black hat hackers will never disappear, which means that we need to have our computers, and our networks, prepared.

Doubting if you are a hacker? Remember phone booth era

By RICHARD GITONGA

Over the past couple of months a new “ism” has been introduced to our vocabulary. Julius Assange of Wikileaks has brought the world’s attention to a form of Internet activism called hactivism. Hactivism is the process of hacking for a particular cause aimed at the greater good of society. Wikileaks has exposed confidential documents that have embarrassed many governments.

</p>There have been efforts by guilty actors to gag Wikileaks, but most have been unsuccessful. Even the initiative to pass legislation to block internet service providers and hosting facilities to restrict Wikileaks from using their networks failed. Hacking has been regarded as a profession that lingers on the fringes of criminality and fraud. There are different types of hackers, some of whom have a positive contribution to business and the society, and others who have a negative contribution to business. One category of hackers is the one referred to as “White Hats”. White hats are ethical hackers who work to protect a company’s information system. They have a good knowledge of information system security and the various tools used by malicious hackers. The Kenya Police should consider hiring white hats bearing in mind the recent attack on their website by cheeky local hackers.“Black Hats” on the other hand are malicious hackers who penetrate information systems with the intention of causing harm, either by corrupting data, stealing confidential information or simply infecting systems with viruses. Most western Governments public relations machinery have described Julian Assange as a black hat hacker. However, there are many who disagree with this description and feel that he is the quintessential white hat hacker whose actions are for the greater good of society. It may be interesting to note that it was Wikileaks that courageously brought to the world’s attention the massive looting of state corporations and government coffers by the leaders of the Kenyan Government a decade ago. “Grey Hats” are like some Kenyan politicians who have been described as “watermelons”.

<P>Grey hats alternate between being white hats and black hats. They are at times given contracts by institutions to conduct ethical hacking procedures to test the robustness of information security systems. However, in their spare time, they amuse themselves by hacking into vulnerable information systems. Most grey hats are very brilliant at computer technology, but tend to have eccentric tendencies.Just in case you thought that you have never been a hacker, consider the time that we had pay phones or what were once referred to as telephone booths. Many of us discovered the art of tapping the phone to mimic tone sounds in order to avoid paying for calls. If you engaged in this illegal activity, then you can describe yourself as once having been a “Phreaker”.

</p>Phreakers are hackers who penetrate communication systems or devices with the intention of illegally obtaining goods, for example, call card numbers or free telephone calls.Many young Kenyans who use the Internet have become accustomed to downloading tools that enable them to hack into peoples’ computers. These Kenyans can be described as “Script Kiddies”. Script kiddies are hackers who Then there are the “Software Crackers”. These hackers specialises in reverse engineering softwares. They are capable of introducing malicious code into software programmes which is then downloaded and installed by end users. Then there are the “Software Crackers”.
