Wireless And Mobile Hacking And Sniffing Techniques

Sniffing is the process of monitoring and capturing all the packets passing through a given network using sniffing tools. It is a form of tapping phone wires and get to know about the conversation. It is also called wiretapping applied to the computer networks.Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a legitimate institution to lure individuals into providing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information, banking and credit card details, and passwords.There are several ways how hackers can gain access to a public WiFi network and infiltrate connected devices to steal data. The most common practice that hackers use is called sniffing. This method allows hackers to hijack any packet of data that is being transmitted between a device and a router.The mobile device has become an inseparable part of life today. The attackers are easily able to compromise the mobile network because of various vulnerabilities, the majority of the attacks are because of the untrusted apps.

▶ Do you enjoy working with a wireless network, where you are able to take your computer, and your work, with you everywhere that you go? ▶ Do you want to be able to protect your valuable information, and any other important data that is on your system and keep it away from a hacker who wants to use it maliciously? ▶ Would you like to be able to protect your system and learn more about the different methods hackers can use to get onto your computer through your wireless network? Wireless networks have changed the way that we are able to interact with our systems and with technology. In the past, we relied on a wired service that kept us in one place or jumping from one computer to the next. Today, most devices, including phones, tablets, and computers, are mobile and can be used anywhere thanks to the wireless network that seems to be everywhere. While this is great news for most people, we have to be aware that there are some problems that can arise, and any vulnerabilities that a hacker would like to take advantage of. In this guidebook, we are going to take a look at some of the ways that we can learn about wireless penetration, and how a hacker is able to get onto your system and take advantage, often without you having any idea. Learning how this kind of penetration can happen, and how we are able to avoid it as much as possible, can make it so much easier for us to keep our information safe on our own system. Some of the topics that we are going to take in order to handle our wireless network and to make sure that we are going to keep our information safe, inside of this guidebook will include: A look at wireless networking and some of the basics to help us get started. How to set up our methodology with wireless hacking and organizing all of the tools that we need. Getting ourselves pass all of the different types of encryption online. How to exploit a wireless network. How to handle a wireless denial of service attack. Making sure that you have your VPNs and firewalls in place to keep your network safe. A look at some of the basics of cybersecurity and how you can use this to keep the hackers out. How the different types of cyberattacks and malware operate. The consequences of a cyber-attack and why we need to prevent it before it ever starts. The basic steps you need to take in order to scan your own network and keep hackers out. While our wireless networks are helping to make things easier and allow us to be more mobile with our own work, they do bring up some big vulnerabilities that hackers love to try and get through.

The popularity of wireless networking has grown exponentially over the past few years, despite a general downward trend in the telecommunications industry. More and more computers and users worldwide communicate via radio waves every day, cutting the tethers of the cabled network both at home and at work. Wireless technology changes not only the way we talk to our devices, but also what we ask them to do. With greater flexibility, broader range, and increased mobility, wireless networks let us live, work, and think differently. Wireless networks also open up a vast range of tasty new hack possibilities, from fine-tuning network frequencies to hot-rodding handhelds. The second edition of Wireless Hacks, co-authored by Rob Flickenger and Roger Weeks, brings readers more of the practical tips and tricks that made the first edition a runaway hit, selling nearly 30,000 copies. Completely revised and updated, this version includes over 30 brand new hacks, major overhauls of over 30 more, and timely adjustments and touchups to dozens of other hacks introduced in the first edition. From passive network scanning to aligning long-distance antennas, beefing up wireless network security, and beyond, Wireless Hacks answers real-life networking needs with direct solutions. Flickenger and Weeks both have extensive experience in systems and network administration, and share a passion for making wireless more broadly available. The authors include detailed coverage for important new changes in specifications and in hardware and software, and they delve deep into cellular and Bluetooth technologies. Whether you need your wireless network to extend to the edge of your desk, fit into your backpack, or cross county lines, the proven techniques in Wireless Hacks will show you how to get the coverage and functionality you're looking for.

Examining computer security from the hacker's perspective, Practical Hacking Techniques and Countermeasures employs virtual computers to illustrate how an attack is executed, including the script, compilation, and results. It provides detailed screen shots in each lab for the reader to follow along in a step-by-step process in order to duplicate and understand how the attack works. It enables experimenting with hacking techniques without fear of corrupting computers or violating any laws. Written in a lab manual style, the book begins with the installation of the VMware® Workstation product and guides the users through detailed hacking labs enabling them to experience what a hacker actually does during an attack. It covers social engineering techniques, footprinting techniques, and scanning tools. Later chapters examine spoofing techniques, sniffing techniques, password cracking, and attack tools. Identifying wireless attacks, the book also explores Trojans, Man-in-the-Middle (MTM) attacks, and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Learn how to secure your computers with this comprehensive guide on hacking techniques and countermeasures By understanding how an attack occurs the reader can better understand how to defend against it. This book shows how an attack is conceptualized, formulated, and performed. It offers valuable information for constructing a system to defend against attacks and provides a better understanding of securing your own computer or corporate network.
