What is Mobile Computing?

October 15, 2021October 10, 2021 shrinath7d

What is Mobile Computing? – Through the course of the book, we have looked at some code examples and exercisesthat will enable you to build web apps for Android and Chrome OS using the features available both on the phone and in the cloud. What’s coming though? How are new technologies and trends going to change our development approach? What is presented in this chapter is a developer’s perspective on the potential future of mobile platforms and subsequently applications. Of course, the contents of this blog represent only one possible…

Krack Attacks

October 11, 2021October 10, 2021 shrinath7d

Krack Attacks – This blogs discusses the recently identified KRACK vulnerabilities and explores the current state of the tools that enable the identification of vulnerable devices. This blogs is a deep dive into the inner workings of the WPA2 handshake and is recommended for advanced readers. KRACK Attack KRACK stands for Key Reinstallation AttaCKs. It’s a tranche of vulnerabilities publicly disclosed in October 2017 by a team from KU Leuven. The attack is the exploitation of a fundamental flaw in the WPA2 handshake, allowing resending of a stage of the…

October 8, 2021October 10, 2021 shrinath7d

How to setup Tor on Linux – The Tor browser has packages for Debian, Redhat, and Gentoo Linux platforms. These packages can be downloaded from the official website: www.Torproject.org and installed manually. We explore how you can set up your Tor browser on each of these platforms. Let’s jump in. How to setup Tor browser on Debian/Ubuntu platforms Before you begin the process of installing Tor on your computer, ensure you’re connected to the internet. Here are steps that you should follow to successfully install and use Tor on Debian…

Sniffing Cryptocurrency Traffic

October 5, 2021October 10, 2021 shrinath7d

Sniffing Cryptocurrency Traffic – If you work as an investigator, I feel sure that when you read the title of this chapter regarding sniffing network traffic, you will think of the potential issues involved that could make it difficult or impossible. If you work within government or law enforcement, you will immediately think of the application of wiretap and intercept legislation—here in the UK, this type of activity requires an intercept warrant, which can be difficult to obtain. If you are a civilian investigator, you may assume that this type…

Capturing Traffic Using Wireshark

October 2, 2021September 27, 2021 shrinath7d

Capturing Traffic Using Wireshark – Before we move on to exploitation, we’ll use the Wireshark monitoring tool, as well as other tools, to sniff and manipulate traffic to gain useful information from other machines on the local network. On an internal penetration test, when we’re simulating an insider threat or an attacker who has breached the perimeter, capturing traffic from other systems in the network can give us additional interesting information (perhaps even usernames and passwords) that can help us with exploitation. The trouble is that capturing traffic can produce…

What Is MITM?

September 28, 2021September 27, 2021 shrinath7d

What Is MITM? – In this Blogs, we will take a look at how we can conduct advanced attacks using what we have learned so far. We will primarily focus on the Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack, which requires a certain amount of skill and practice to conduct successfully. Once we have done this, we will use this MITM attack as a base from which to conduct more sophisticated attacks such as eavesdropping and session hijacking. A Man-in-the-Middle attack MITM attacks are probably one of the most potent attacks on a WLAN…

Ten Mistake While Doing Hacking?

September 25, 2021September 27, 2021 shrinath7d

Ten Deadly Mistake While Doing Hacking? – Making the wrong choices in your security testing can wreak havoc on your work and possibly even your career. In this Blog, I discuss ten potential pitfalls to be keenly aware of when performing your security assessment work. Not Getting Approval Getting documented approval in advance, such as an email, an internal memo, or a formal contract for your security testing efforts — whether it’s from management or from your client — is a must. Outside of laws on the books that might…

How To Detect Sniffing?

September 22, 2021September 27, 2021 shrinath7d

How to Detect Sniffing? – It is not easy to detect a sniffer on the network, as sniffers only capture data. A sniffer leaves no trace, since it does not transmit data. Some sniffers can be identified by manually verifying the Ethernet wire. Sometimes, the machine that is doing the sniffing will be in the promiscuous mode, although that is not always true. An investigator can use the reverse DNS lookup method to detect nonstandalone sniffers. The following are the steps involved in detecting sniffing: Check to see if any…

What Is Kotlin?

September 19, 2021September 27, 2021 shrinath7d

What Is Kotlin? –Kotlin is a general purpose, free, open source, statically typed “pragmatic” programming language initially designed for the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) and Android that combines object-oriented and functional programming features. It is focused on interoperability, safety, clarity, and tooling support. Versions of Kotlin targeting JavaScript ES5.1 and native code (using LLVM) for a number of processors are in production as well. Kotlin originated at JetBrains, the company behind IntelliJ IDEA, in 2010, and has been open source since 2012. The Kotlin team currently has more than 90…

What Are The Google Secret? – Google calls itself the “World’s Best Search Engine,” and by most accounts that statement is a true one. Google is not only the world’s largest and most trafficked search site, it’s also one of the 10 most popular sites on the entire Internet. Just look at these statistics: More than 73.5 million unique users visit Google each month Google is used for more than 200 million searches every day Google’s search engine indexes more than 3 billion Web pages, more than 425 million images,…
