System Hacking

System Hacking is the way Hackers get access to individual computers.

Active Online Attacks

Attacker performs password cracking by directly communicating with the victim

machine.
Trojan/Spyware/Keyloggers
Attacker installs Trojan/Spyware/Keylogger on victim's machine to collect victim's
user names and passwords.
Trojan/Spyware/Keylogger runs in the background and send back all user credentials
to the attacker.

Password Guessing

Default Passwords for routers/devices :

A default password is a password supplied by the manufacturer with new equipment
(e.g. switches, hubs, routers) that is password protected.
Attackers use default passwords in the list of words or dictionary that they use to
perform password guessing attack.
