Guessing the Answer for the
Security Question
Social Engineering:
Social engineering takes advantage
of the
weakest link in any organization’s
information security defenses:
people. Social
engineering is
“people hacking” and involves
maliciously
exploiting the trusting nature of
human beings to obtain
information that can be
used for personal gain.
Social engineering is one of the
toughest hacks
to perpetrate because it takes
great skill to come across as
trustworthy to a
stranger. It’s also by far the
toughest hack to protect against
because
people are involved.
Social Engineering is different from
Physical
Security exploits . In social
engineering hackers
will analyze about
victim. Hackers will send mail to
victim. The
contents will be related to the
victim.
Eg:
✓ False support personnel claim
that they need
to install a patch or new
version of software on a user’s
computer, talk
the user into downloading
the software, and obtain remote
control of the
system.
✓ False vendors claim to need to
update the
organization’s accounting
package or phone system, ask for
the
administrator password, and
obtain full access.
✓ Phishing e-mails sent by
external attackers
gather user IDs and passwords
of unsuspecting recipients.
Hackers then use
those passwords to
gain access to bank accounts and
more. A
related attack exploits crosssite
scripting on Web forms.
✓ False employees notify the
security desk that
they have lost their keys
to the computer room, receive a
set of keys
from security, and obtain
unauthorized access to physical
and electronic
information.
Phishing WebPage:
It is a fake webpage which looks
similar to the
original page of the website. Using
this
WebPage we can easily get the
Password of
victims. The process involved in
creating
Phishing webpage are,
✓ First Visit the Website which is
associated
with the email id. Copy the Source
code.
✓ Edit the the Source code such
that it will
store the password for you.✓ Upload the Webpage to any free
webhosting
sites. (don't select a famous
hosting site,they
will find that
your page is fake). Try uploading
through the
proxy server.
Guessing the Answer for Security
Question:
Do you remember that the mail
sites will ask for
the security questions to retrieve
the mail
account? You can hack the mail
account simply
guessing the answer. If the victim
is your
friend ,then it may very easy to
hack.
Brute Force Attack:
A famous and traditional attacking
method . In
this method ,the password will be
found by
trying all possible passwords with
any program
or software.

capture what
you type in the keyboard. so

be attached
with any softwares and send to
victim. While
