Hacking Info & Prevention
|
| The terms hacker and hack
have controversial definitions. Among computer programmers in good standing
with the technical community, the words hacker and hacking are used more
often in the admiring or awed sense of a skilled software developer. People
favoring this usage typically look with dismay on the usage of the term
as a synonym for security cracking.
In the non-technical community,
the word hacker most often describes someone who "hacks into" a system
by evading or disabling security measures.
In the context of computer
networking, cracking (also called black-hat hacking, or hacking) is the
act of compromising the security of a system without permission from an
authorized party, usually with the intent of accessing computers connected
to the network. (The somewhat similar activity of defeating copy protection
devices in software with the intent of using the software illegally is
addressed at software cracking.) The term 'cracker' seems to have developed
from 'hacker,' with a connotation of forcibility in addition to cleverness.
Cracking techniques can vary
from using advanced programming skills and social engineering to utilizing
software developed by others without understanding how the cracking software
works. The latter type of cracker is often referred to as a script kiddie.
(Unskilled crackers are far more common than highly skilled ones.) Common
software weaknesses exploited by crackers include buffer overflows and
heap overflows. |

| Basic
rule to fight back spam is reporting. More complaints cost spamers more
money and more work. You think they don't care because they expect that
and already have new accounts lined up. But, anyway there is significant
increase in cost of doing spaming by constantly switching providers. If
most of people follow the basic rule and fail complaints more often, the
greater this cost becomes for spamers. |

| REPORTING SPAM: |
| SpamCop
is the premier service for reporting spam. SpamCop determines the origin
of unwanted email and reports it to the relevant Internet service providers.
By reporting spam, you have a positive impact on the problem. Reporting
unsolicited email also helps feed spam filtering systems, including, but
not limited to, SpamCop's own service. |

|
| Spamhaus
tracks the Internet's Spammers, Spam Gangs and Spam Services, provides
dependable realtime anti-spam protection for Internet networks, and works
with Law Enforcement to identify and pursue spammers worldwide. |
|
|
| EmailAbuse.org
is dedicated to informing users of this potential abuse and providing them
with the tools to avoid becoming a victim and to fight back at Email Abusers! |
|
|
| The
Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial Email (CAUCE)
is
an ad hoc, all volunteer organization, created by Netizens to advocate
for a legislative solution to the problem of UCE (a/k/a "spam"). UCE is
the leading complaint of Internet users. But junk e-mail is more than just
annoying, it costs Internet users and Internet-based businesses billions
per year. Junk e-mail is "postage due" marketing; it's like a telemarketer
calling you collect. The economics of junk e-mail encourages massive abuse
and because junk e-mailers can get into the business very cheaply, the
volume of junk e-mail is increasing every day. |
