would describe themselves as hackers, or who would be described by
others as hackers) falls into at least three partially overlapping
categories. &lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Hacker: &lt;font size=5&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold"&gt;Brilliant programmer 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The positive usage of hacker. One who knows a (sometimes specified) set
of programming interfaces well enough to write software rapidly and
expertly. This type of hacker is well-respected, although the term
still carries some of the meaning of hack, developing programs without
adequate planning. This zugzwang gives freedom and the ability to be
creative against methodical careful progress. &lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
At their best, hackers can be very productive. The downside of hacker
productivity is often in maintainability, documentation, and
completion. Very talented hackers may become bored with a project once
they have figured out all of the hard parts, and be unwilling to finish
off the &amp;quot;details&amp;quot;. This attitude can cause friction in environments
where other programmers are expected to pick up the half finished work,
decipher the structures and ideas, and bullet-proof the code. In other
cases, where a hacker is willing to maintain their own code, a company
may be unable to find anyone else who is capable or willing to dig
through code to maintain the program if the original programmer moves
on to a new job. &lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Types of hackers in this sense are gurus and wizards. &amp;quot;Guru&amp;quot; implies
age and experience, and &amp;quot;wizard&amp;quot; often implies particular expertise in
a specific topic, and an almost magical ability to perform hacks no one
else understands. &lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Hacker: &lt;font size=5&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold"&gt;Intruder and criminal 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The most common usage of &amp;quot;hacker&amp;quot; in the popular press is to describe
those who subvert computer security without authorization or indeed,
anyone who has been accused of using technology (usually a computer or
the internet) for terrorism, vandalism, credit card fraud, identity
theft, intellectual property theft, and many other forms of crime. This
can mean taking control of a remote computer through a network, or
software cracking. This is the pejorative sense of hacker, also called
cracker or black-hat hacker or simply &amp;quot;criminal&amp;quot; in order to preserve
unambiguity. &lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
A hacktivist is a hacker who utilizes the World Wide Web as a medium to
announce their political message. These individuals use other people’s
websites, to promote their political views. For instance these hackers
may use a political candidate’s web page and adjust it to promote their
opposition candidate or promote vegetarianism through a meat
distributor’s internet site. &lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
There are several recurring tools of the trade used by computer criminals: 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Trojan horse -- These are malicious programs that are disguised as
legitimate software. A trojan horse can be used to set up a back door
in a computer system so that the criminal can return later and gain
access. Viruses that fool a user into downloading and/or executing them
by pretending to be useful applications are also sometimes called
trojan horses. See also: Dialer. &lt;br&gt;
Virus -- A virus is a self-replicating program that spreads by
inserting copies of itself into other executable code or documents (for
a complete definition: see the article about computer viruses). Thus, a
computer virus behaves in a way similar to a biological virus, which
spreads by inserting itself into living cells. &lt;br&gt;
Worm -- Like a virus, a worm is also a self-replicating program. The
difference between a virus and a worm is that a worm does not attach
itself to other code. After the comparison between computer viruses and
biological viruses, the obvious comparison here is to a bacterium. Many
people conflate the terms &amp;quot;virus&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;worm&amp;quot;, using them both to
describe any self-propagating program. &lt;br&gt;
Vulnerability scanner -- A tool used to quickly check computers on a
network for known weaknesses. Hackers also use port scanners. These
check to see which ports on a specified computer are &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; or
available to access the computer. (Note that firewalls defend computers
from intruders by limiting access to ports/machines both inbound and
outbound.) &lt;br&gt;
Sniffer -- An application that captures password and other data while
it is in transit either within the computer or over the network &lt;br&gt;
Exploit -- A prepared application that takes advantage of a known weakness. 
&lt;br&gt;
Social engineering -- Using manipulation skills in order to obtain some
form of information. An example would be asking someone for their
password or account possibly over a beer or by posing as someone else. &lt;br&gt;
Root kit -- A toolkit for hiding the fact that a computer's security
has been compromised. Root kits may include replacements for system
binaries so that it becomes impossible for the legitimate user to
detect the presence of the intruder on the system by looking at process
tables. &lt;br&gt;
Leet -- An English pidgin that helps to obscure hacker discussions and
web sites, and paradoxically simplifies the location of resources in
public search engines for those who know the language. This is arguably
more of a social phenomenon than anything very useful for breaking
security, however. To more effectively keep conversations private,
encryption can be used. &lt;br&gt;
Those who consider themselves hackers in this sense but who don't write
their own programs, and who generally don't really understand the inner
workings of the computers they gain access to, are known as script
kiddies.The term originates from the idea that no one is born with
knowledge of these things, and everyone must at some point use
&amp;quot;scripts&amp;quot; to learn. To some however the term expresses considerable
contempt, being meant to indicate that they are immature (or unable to
realize the equality lesson contained in the somewhat loaded term), and
only use &amp;quot;scripts&amp;quot; and programs created by other people, in what is
merely simple vandalism (if not outright theft). &lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Hacker: &lt;font style="font-weight:bold" size=5&gt;Security expert 
&lt;img src="/rte/emoticons/star.gif"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
There is a third meaning which is a kind of fusion of the positive and
pejorative senses of hacker. The term white hat hacker is often used to
describe those who attempt to break into systems or networks in order
to help the owners of the system by making them aware of security
flaws, or to perform some other altruistic activity. Many such people
are employed by computer security companies (such professionals are
sometimes called sneakers). Collections of these people are often
called Tiger Teams. &lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
White hat hackers often overlap with black hat depending on your
perspective. The primary difference is that a white hat hacker claims
to observe the hacker ethic. Like black hats, white hats are often
intimately familiar with the internal details of security systems, and
can delve into obscure machine code when needed to find a solution to a
tricky problem without requiring support from a system manufacturer. &lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline"&gt;
An example of a hack:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight:bold"&gt;Microsoft Windows ships with the ability to use
cryptographic libraries built into the operating system. When shipped
overseas this feature becomes nearly useless as the operating system
will refuse to load cryptographic libraries that haven't been signed by
Microsoft, and Microsoft will not sign a library unless the US
Government authorizes it for export. This allows the US Government to
maintain some perceived level of control over the use of strong
cryptography beyond its borders. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-weight:bold"&gt;

&lt;br style="font-weight:bold"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold"&gt;
While hunting through the symbol table of a beta release of Windows, a
couple of overseas hackers managed to find a second signing key in the
Microsoft binaries. That is, without disabling the libraries that are
included with Windows (even overseas), these individuals learned of a
way to trick the operating system into loading a library that hadn't
been signed by Microsoft, thus enabling the functionality which had
been lost to non-US users. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;img style="font-weight:bold" src="/rte/emoticons/smile_omg.gif"&gt;&lt;br style="font-weight:bold"&gt;

&lt;br style="font-weight:bold"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold"&gt;
Whether this is good or bad may depend on whether you respect the
letter of the law, but is considered by some in the computing community
to be a white hat type of activity. Some use the term grey hat to
describe someone on the borderline between black and white.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=3102122150198323288&amp;page=RSS%3a+Classification+Of+Hackers&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=leothemaster.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=leothemaster"&gt;</description><comments>http://leothemaster.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!2B0CF3A8EC712858!2321.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://leothemaster.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!2B0CF3A8EC712858!2321.entry</guid><pubDate>Fri, 18 Nov 2005 10:47:46 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://leothemaster.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!2B0CF3A8EC712858!2321/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://leothemaster.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!2B0CF3A8EC712858!2321.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2005-11-18T10:47:46Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool 1.10</title><link>http://leothemaster.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!2B0CF3A8EC712858!2318.entry</link><description>&lt;br&gt;

writes &amp;quot;The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool checks
Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 computers for and
helps remove infections by specific, prevalent malicious
software—including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom. When the detection and
removal process is complete, the tool displays a report describing the
outcome, including which, if any, malicious software was detected and
removed. The tool creates a log file named mrt.log in the %WINDIR%debug
folder. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Note The version of this tool delivered by Windows
Update runs on your computer once a month, in the background. If an
infection is found, the tool will display a status report the next time
you start your computer. &lt;table align=right&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;If
you would like to run this tool more than once a month, run the version
that is available from this Web page or use the version on the &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx" target="_blank"&gt;Malicious Software Removal Tool Web site&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;

   7. Restart the computer.&lt;br&gt;

   8. Scan all hard drives and all files.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
 
When you have scanned all files and disinfected them, please go through those steps again and turn on the system restore.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Windows ME:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
   1. Close all open programs.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) is a security technology that
helps protect Windows users from spyware and other potentially unwanted
software. Known spyware on your PC can be detected and removed. This
helps reduce negative effects caused by spyware, including slow PC
performance, annoying pop-up ads, unwanted changes to Internet
settings, and unauthorized use of your private information. Continuous
protection improves Internet browsing safety by guarding more than 50
ways spyware can enter your PC. Participants in the worldwide SpyNet™
community play a key role in determining which suspicious programs are
classified as spyware. Microsoft researchers quickly develop methods to
counteract these threats, and updates are automatically downloaded to
your PC so you stay up to date&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=3102122150198323288&amp;page=RSS%3a+Microsoft+Anti+Spyware+1.0.615&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=leothemaster.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=leothemaster"&gt;</description><comments>http://leothemaster.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!2B0CF3A8EC712858!1090.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://leothemaster.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!2B0CF3A8EC712858!1090.entry</guid><pubDate>Fri, 12 Aug 2005 09:08:08 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://leothemaster.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!2B0CF3A8EC712858!1090/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://leothemaster.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!2B0CF3A8EC712858!1090.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2005-08-12T09:08:08Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Top 50 Security Tools / En İyi 50 Güvenlik Aracı</title><link>http://leothemaster.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!2B0CF3A8EC712858!926.entry</link><description>&lt;p&gt;In May/June of 2000, we conducted a survey of 1200 &lt;a href="http://www.insecure.org/nmap/"&gt;Nmap&lt;/a&gt; users from the &lt;a href="http://seclists.org/#nmap-hackers"&gt;nmap-hackers&lt;/a&gt; mailing list to determine their favorite security tools. Each respondant could list up to 5. 
&lt;p&gt;I was so impressed by the list they created that I am putting the top 50 up here where everyone can benefit from them. I think anyone in the security field would be well advised to go over the list and investigate any tools they are unfamiliar with. I also plan to point newbies to this page whenever they write me saying &amp;quot;I do not know where to start&amp;quot;. 
&lt;p&gt;Respondants were allowed to list open source or commercial tools on any platform. Commercial tools are noted as such in the list below. 
&lt;p&gt;Note that many of the descriptions in this list were taken from the &lt;a href="http://www.debian.org/"&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt; package descriptions, the &lt;a href="http://www.freshmeat.net/"&gt;Freshmeat&lt;/a&gt; descriptions, or from the home pages of the application. I didn't count any votes for &lt;a href="http://www.insecure.org/nmap"&gt;Nmap&lt;/a&gt; because the survey was taken on an Nmap mailing list. 
&lt;p&gt;Without further ado, here is the list (starting with the most popular): &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;table&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr valign=top&gt;
&lt;td valign=top&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nessus &lt;/b&gt;
&lt;td valign=top&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nessus.org/"&gt;http://www.nessus.org&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td colspan=2&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt; Remote network security auditor, the client The Nessus Security Scanner is a security auditing tool. It makes possible to test security modules in an attempt to find vulnerable spots that should be fixed. . It is made up of two parts: a server, and a client. The server/daemon, nessusd, is in charge of the attacks, whereas the client, nessus, interferes with the user through nice X11/GTK+ interface. . This package contains the GTK+ 1.2 client, which exists in other forms and on other platforms, too. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;table&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr valign=top&gt;
&lt;td valign=top&gt;&lt;b&gt;Netcat &lt;/b&gt;
&lt;td valign=top&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.atstake.com/research/tools/index.html"&gt;http://www.atstake.com/research/tools/index.html&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td colspan=2&gt;&lt;b&gt;Note:&lt;/b&gt; This is an unofficial site&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt; TCP/IP swiss army knife A simple Unix utility which reads and writes data across network connections using TCP or UDP protocol. It is designed to be a reliable &amp;quot;back-end&amp;quot; tool that can be used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts. At the same time it is a feature-rich network debugging and exploration tool, since it can create almost any kind of connection you would need and has several interesting built-in capabilities. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;td colspan=2&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt; Routines for the construction and handling of network packets. libnet provides a portable framework for low-level network packet writing and handling. . Libnet features portable packet creation interfaces at the IP layer and link layer, as well as a host of supplementary functionality. Still in it's infancy however, the library is evolving quite a bit. Additional functionality and stability are added with each release. . Using libnet, quick and simple packet assembly applications can be whipped up with little effort. With a bit more time, more complex programs can be written (Traceroute and ping were easily rewritten using libnet and libpcap). &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;td colspan=2&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt; Crack 5 is an update version of Alec Muffett's classic local password cracker. Traditionally these allowed any user of a system to crack the /etc/passwd and determine the passwords of other users (or root) on the system. Modern systems require you to obtain read access to /etc/shadow in order to perform this. It is still a good idea for sysadmins to run a cracker occasionally to verify that all users have strong passwords. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;td colspan=2&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt; Swatch was originally written to actively monitor messages as they were written to a log file via the UNIX syslog utility. It has multiple methods of alarming, both visually and by triggering events. The perfect tools for a master loghost. This is a beta release of version 3.0, so please use it with caution. The code is still slightly ahead of the documentation, but examples exist. NOTE: Works flawlessly on Linux (RH5), BSDI and Solaris 2.6 (patched). &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
