the new "Hackers"

1. Hacker word that describes person who have special skills in the field of computer and
information security. Hacking means that a set of clever programmers who challenge the
different systems and try to storm it , and not necessarily to commit a crime , but their
success in penetration is considered a success for their abilities and skills. However,the law
considered outsiders who enter the default place should not be in it. And to do this optional
process in which the programmer tested his abilities without knowing his real name or
declare himself. But some of them are exploited by criminal who clear information and others
are commercially exploited for the purposes of spying and to steal some money.
• Many companies like Microsoft need to protect their systems so they found the best
method to protect their system is to hire hackers with high salaries their mission is
attempt to penetrate their different systems and find the points of weakness..
The classificationofhackers morally
we have 3 concepts :
1: White hat hacker :a computerhackers intendingtoimprove computer security
2: Black hat hacker: a computerhackers intendingtostorm the computer or Internet securityfor
illegal personal gain
3: Greyhat hacker: a computer hackers liesbetweena black hat and a white hat hacker
Hacker have many attack techniquesbutthe most common technique:isby using Trojan horses and
this
technique mostlyusedwhen hackers needto storm a personal computer
(i will give to you) example showsyou how Trojan technique works :
if you will downloada program but this program have virus
this virus will opena hiddensecrethole through your computer firewall whenthe virus reached to
your
computer it will delete anyinformationor it will harm the host computer systemstheiris a ratio
50% ifyou will scan your computer by using antivirusand you have many virusesinyour computer

The hacker hordes of Anonymous have transferred their fickle attention to Sony. They
are currently attacking the company's online Playstation store in retribution for Sony's
lawsuit against PS3 hacker George Hotz . A denial of service attack has temporarily taken
down playstation.com.
In a manifesto announcing the new operation, Anonymous railed against Sony for going
after coders who seek to modify hardware that they own. The lawsuits are an
"unforgivable offense against free speech and internet freedom, primary sources of free
lulz ."
"Your corrupt business practices are indicative of a corporate philosophy that would
deny consumers the right to use products they have paid for and rightfully own, in the
manner of their choosing," continues the pronouncement. "Perhaps you should alert
your customers to the fact that they are apparently only renting your products? In light of
this assault on both rights and free expression, Anonymous, the notoriously handsome
rulers of the internet, would like to inform you that you have only been 'renting' your web
domains. Having trodden upon Anonymous' rights, you must now be trodden on."
Anonymous is rallying participants to voluntarily contribute to the denial of service
attack on Sony. That attack is continuing, and it appears to be far more successful than
recent hits on Angel Soft toilet paper. In Anonymous chat rooms, participants bash Sony

3. but worry about how their actions will be perceived. "Guys, you need to talk to the
gamers and explain to them that this does not affect their gameplay," wrote one.
Some even hope to take credit for a small drop in Sony's stock price: "We're already
causing sony stock to drop!!!"
on Monday, November24th Sony discoveredthat theirown company's network has beenhacked.
The
attackers took terabytesof data, delete the original copiesof Sony computers,leavingthe threat to
release the information messagesif Sony didnot respond to the demandsof the strikers.this image,
shows the message that appearedon the computer screensat Sony companies.( and this is the
message )

"The Damage that Anonymousdid to Israel"
The infamoushacking group Anonymous that vowed an 'ElectronicHolocaust' against Israel and
promisedto 'erase Israel from cyberspace' on 7th April, managedto launch a cyber attack, beginning
Tuesday morning.
In a spookyvideo"message to Israel" postedon YouTube March 4, Anonymousdeclaredcyber attack
against Israel on April 7 in response to what the group calls 'crimesinthe Palestinianterritories.'
Today we noticeda numberof hacking incidentsagainst Israeli cyberspace under#OpIsrael.
Anonymousconduct #OpIsrael attack against Israel everyyear on 7th April and this is the fourth
annual cyber attack on Israel inorder to protestagainst Israeli bombingon the Palestinianterritory.
"CYBER ATTACKS AGAINST ISRAEL"
Today, Anonymous and Pro-Palestinian hackers targeted dozens of Israeli Government
websites, including the Knesset portal (parliament), as well as websites related to the
Israeli court system and the Education Ministry.
In Brief, Anonymous group claimed following cyber attacks:
* At least 150,000 phone numbers, Facebook, Gmail and Hotmail Israel accounts have
been hacked.
* The official website of Israeli Singer Shalom Hanoch was hacked.
* The website of the Israeli Center for Educational Excellence was also taken down.
The hacktivist group replaced the affected websites’ homepages with photos of a Muslim
holy site in Jerusalemand militants holding the Islamic State militant flag, with a
message signed by "AnonGhost."

5. While many website owners have taken the threats seriously. However, Israel's Computer
Emergency Response Teamissued a statement saying that no major government sites
were affected, as they were already aware of this and was ready to foil the attacks.
"ANONYMOUS HACKER LEAKS LOGINS TO 6,000 ROUTERS"
Anonymous published log-in credentials (usernames and passwords) for nearly 6,000
Israel Routers publicly.
However, router password dump doesn't damage the Israeli cyber-infrastructure
instantly, but these sensitive credentials for Israel network could be used later by
anyone, hackers or law enforcement, to penetrate into the affected modems.
In addition, the Israel Security Agency, Shin Bet and the National Cyber Defense Center --
a part of the Prime Minister’s Office, are providing measures to civilian Internet websites
on how to defend themselves against the cyber attack.
In April 2013, the Anonymous unit caused $3 Billion worth of damage to Israel, when the
group targeted about 30,000 Israeli bank accounts, 100,000 websites, 5,000 Twitter
accounts and over 40,000 Facebook pages under #OpIsrael.
During Operation OpIsrael, Anonymous hacking group published the personal data of
5,000 Israeli officials over the Internet, which included names, ID numbers and personal
email addresses.
When we talk about the damage caused to Israeli websites, it is a temporary damage
caused to the country that could be recovered in few hours or days. However, the
damage caused by Israel in the Palestinian territories, including last summer's Gaza
conflict, is something that could take years to recover.
