 History of HACKING
The real meaning of hacking is to expand the ca
pabilities of any electronic device; to use them
beyond the original intentions of the manufacture
r.
As a matter of fact, the first hackers appeared in th
e 1960's at the Massachusetts Institute of Te
chnology (MIT), and their first victims were elec
tric trains.
They wanted them to perform faster and more effi
ciently. So, is hacking always bad? Not really. It onl
y depends on how to use it. But it wasn't until a gro
up of these hackers decided to exert their knowled
ge in the computer mainframes of the MIT.

c
Install scanner program
mscan, sscan, nmap
Install exploit program
Install denial of service program
Use all of installed programs sile
ntly
 REAL HACKER
 Study C/C++/assembly lan
guage
 Study computer architectu
re
 Study operating system
 Study computer network
 Examine the hacking tools
for a month
 Think the problem of the c
omputer
 HOW CAN PROTECT SYSTEM
Patch security hole often
Encrypt important data
Ex) pgp, ssh
Do not run unused daemon
Remove unused setuid/ setg
id program
Setup log host
Use switch hub
 HOW CAN PROTECT SYSTEM
Setup firewall
Ex) ipchains
Setup IDS
Ex) snort
Check unintentional changes
 Ex) tripwire
 Backup the system often
 WHAT SHOULD DO AFTER
What shouldHACKED
do after hacked?
Shutdown the system
Or turn off the system
Separate the system from network
Restore the system with the backup
Or reinstall all programs
Connect the system to the network
It can be good to call the police
