DDOS ATTACK Ddos is short for distributed denial of service, Ddos is a type of Dos attack where multiple compromised systems, which are often infected with a trojan, are used to target a single system causing a denial of service(DOS)attack, victims of a Ddos attack consist of both the targeted system and all systems maliciously used and controlled by the hacker in the distributed attack. How Ddos Attacks Work In a Ddos attack, the incoming traffic flooding the victim originates from many different sources- potentially hundreds of thousands or more. This effectively makes it impossible to stop the attack simply by blocking a single ipadress, plus it is very difficult to distinguish between legitimate user traffic from attack traffic when spread across so many points of origin. The Difference  Between Dos and Ddos Attacks A denial of service (Dos) attack is different from a Ddos attack.The Dos attack typically uses one computer, one internet connection to flood a ta...

WHAT IS BRUTE FORCE ATTACK A brute force attack is a trial and error method used to obtain information such as a user password or personal identification number(pin). In a brute force attack automated software is used to generate a large number of consecutive guesses as to the value of the desired data. Brute force  may be used by criminals to crack encrypted data or by security analyst to test an organisation network security. A brute force attack is also known as brute force cracking or just brute force. One example of  a type of brute force attack is known as a dictionary attack which might try all the words in a dictionary. Other forms of brute force attack might try commonly used passwords or combination of letters and numbers.  An attack of this nature can be time-and resource consuming. Hence the name "brute force attack " success is usually based on computing power and the number of combinations tried rather than an ingenious algorithm. ...

What is phishing ? Phishing is a social engineering attack where a login page is created in order to steal information such as passwords and all other sensitive data from people. It involves cloning an original login page but tweaking it to store its login data in a readable format (txt). Phishing is the easiest way to steal login details for any site as it hacks the users not the server. How phishing works Supposing you go to Facebook you'll be greeted with the login page, any data entered into this page will be stored in their database and will log you in. Now assuming a person created his own version of Facebook login page but making it that whenever a user login that data is stored in a text file so he/she can read the contents anytime. After doing this the person gives you the link to the page after being hosted and you login he/she has successfully stolen your password to your Facebook and can login to your account anytime. Well this is w...

What is Programming ? Programming is simply using languages a computer understands to solve problems. You can look at a problem where you have to use a typewriter to manually type out documents in an office of over 100 copies this would take lots of time to accomplish such task but using a Programming language like C++ or C# or any other language best suited for software development a computer can be programmed to print out the same text on 100 copies of paper saving time and energy. What is a programming language ? Well as humans we use languages like English, French, Spanish, Hindi and any other language to communicate amongst ourselves well computers too have languages they use to let humans communicate to them. Examples of these languages include C++, C#, Java, Python, JavaScript, Ruby, PHP, Haskell, Clojure and the list goes on and on. There 're hundreds of programming languages and even I can't name all of them each having differe...

Many people categorise hacking as illegal activities including stealing bank funds, breaking into bank accounts, social media accounts, invading privacy, infecting computers with viruses to harm people for fun or any other thing they are going to say but i'll tell you that this isn't what hacking is all about but I wouldn't deny that it's part. In the Cyber world a hacker is a person who is able to find loopholes and flaws in systems and manage to exploit them. The exploitation of the loop holes found (vulnerabilities) found here can either be reported and patched to improve security (Ethical hacking) or for malicious purposes such as stealing funds. Origins of hacking Hacking originated from the M.I.T engineers in the 1960's where a group of people were aimed at making computers do things against their original programming by their creators. If you take a deep look at this you'll see that hacking can also be defined as making a computer d...

Hi my name is Elvon. I made this blog so we can talk about technology but mostly about computers, programming and penetration testing. Feel free to comment and if you want to ask me any questions send them directly to my email Elvonabu22@yahoo.com and i will be right there for you or in the comments below Thank you
