Know About All Ways A Hacker Can Easily Gain Access to Your Account

There are many ways a hacker can hack into your account. Among them, some of the most common ways are mentioned below - 

  • Denial-of-service 
  • Man-in-the-middle attack
  • Phishing
  • Drive-by Attack
  • Password Attack
  • Malware Attack

1. Denial-of-Services 

Denial of service or (DoS) can corrupt the system resources and end up not responding to any service request. Denial of attack does not allow the hacker to directly gain access to all details. It just stops the system from performing tasks anything. This type of attacks is mainly done by business rivals. It is also applied to stop the system so that another form of hacking can be easily applied to it.

2. Man-in-the-middle attack

You can understand by the name only how the process is done. Here the hacker interferes with the communication between two servers.

There are three types of MITM attack

 

  • Session hijacking

 

In this type the hijacker puts itself in the middle of a conversation between a client and a server. Here it replaces the IP address of the receiver and replaces it with itself while the server continues the session.

 

  • IP Spoofing

 

Here the attacker convinces the system that it is connecting to a trusted network. It replaces its IP with one of a  trusted source and sends it to the target host. The target host accepts the request and acts on it.

 

  • Replay

 

Here the attackers get into a conversation, saves some messages and sends those old messages afterward.

3.Phishing

A phishing attack is tricky, the hackers send some email from the address of a trusted source. The email may contain some link to a website which is full of malware. By opening the website your system gets attacked by the malware giving hackers easy access to it.

Spear Phishing is a targeted type of attack. Attackers take time to gain relevant information about the victim and send a personal email through a verified link. People easily fall victim to this kind of attacks.

4.Drive-by Attack

It is a very common way to spread malware to other systems. Here the attacker cleverly places a malicious link into an HTTP link of an insecure website. Whenever anyone tries to open that particular website the malicious link automatically opens up attacking the system with malware.

5.Password Attack

The best and easiest way to gain access to someone's account is to know their password. To gain access to someones account you will have to guess randomly or apply a sniffing method to gain access to the encrypted network to deduce the password. For a password attack, two types of ways are applied. One is the brute force where random passwords are guessed and applied in the hope of any one of them to match. Another one is a Dictionary attack where a known list of all previously used passwords are stored and applied to hack an account.

6. Malware Attack:

It is described as an unknown software installed on your device without your consent. Malware attacks can be categorized into many parts.

 

  • Macro viruses:

 

Macro viruses take control of SQL and databases where it replaces itself with it. Whenever the application is opened it automatically attaches itself to the code.

 

  • File infectors:

They usually attach themselves to “.exe” files. Whenever the files are processed it gets installed and infects the system with malware.
