    Hacking,

    The Information Guide

    What is Considered Hacking?


    Hacking involves when people attempt to get into someones technology
    such as a website or computer. This primarily concerns unauthorized
    remote computer access through a medium such as the internet.

    Types of Hackers
    Black hats- Black-hat hackers are the type of hacker the popular
    media seems to focus on. Black-hat hackers violate computer
    security for personal gain(such as stealing credit card numbers) or
    for maliciousness.

    White hats- White-hat hackers are the opposite of the black-hat


    hackers. theyre the ethical hackers, experts in compromising
    computer security systems who use their abilities for good,ethical,
    and legal purposes rather than bad.

    Types of Hackers Part 2


    Grey hats- A gray-hat hacker
    falls somewhere between a
    black hat and a white hat.A
    gray hat doesnt work for their
    own personal gain or to cause
    carnage, but they may
    technically commit crimes and
    do arguably unethical things.

    How It's Done


    Hacking is done by finding a weakness or a vulnerability in a system and using it
    to exploit the system. The most common types of hacks are brute force attacks
    and DDOS attacks.
    DDos attacks are one of the most common ways hackers use to hack
    websites. A DDos attack is when hackers send many url requests to a
    server in a short period of time. When this is done, the server is flooded
    and cant handle all the requests, so the server goes offline.

    How its done part 2


    Brute force attacks are the simplest way to gain access to
    a site, it tries usernames and passwords until it gets one
    right. This type of attack is sometimes very successful
    because many people use usernames such as admin and
    passwords such as 123456, which is very easy to hack.

    Why people hack


    The most common reasons people hack computers, companies, websites, systems, and other
    is:
    -Hacking for fun: Some people hack in order to have fun or to show off
    -Hacking to get money: Some people make money by hacking banks and companies
    -Hacking to steal information: Some people hack large companies or corporations to steal
    information from them, such as secrets and customers private info.
    -Hacking to cause chaos: Some people hack large companies or websites because they get
    enjoyment from seeing the chaos they cause.
    -Hacking for good: Many hacking groups such as Anonymous have recently targeted ISIS and
    ISIS supporters

    A Recent News Story...


    On new year's eve (of the year 2015), a hacking group by the name of New World
    Hacking launched a DDOS attack against BBCs website. New World Hacking said
    it was just testing its capability before they attacked ISIS, and that they didnt
    mean to take down the website for so long.
    New World Hacking took down BBCs website by DDOSing them, and they sent
    over 600GBPS (GigaBytes Per Second) of traffic to the website, which caused the
    servers to overload.

    Statistics Related to
    Hacking(Daniel)

    Our Opinion
    In our opinion, hacking is a bad crime because it violates the privacy
    of people and companies
    Most people are unaware that they can be hacked, leaving them more
    vulnerable to cyber attacks.
    We believe hackers break the law, and should be charged as such.
