ABSTRACT

Chat application is a feature or a program on the Internet to communicate directly among

Internet users who are online or who were equally using the internet. Chat applications allow
users to communicate even though from a great distance. Therefore, this chat application
must be real-time and multi-platform to be used by many users. The development of information
and communication technologies are rapidly making one of the reasons for Indonesia,
especially Bandung to develop this chat application. That's because Indonesia does not
always rely on outsiders. It is important for Indonesia to develop this chat application for
themselves. This chat application in the manufacture begins with the collection of relevant
data that will be displayed in the web and mobile versions.

INTRODUCTION
Hacking is the activity of identifying weaknesses in a computer system or a network to
exploit the security to gain access to personal data or business data. An example of
computer hacking can be: using a password cracking algorithm to gain access to a
computer system.

Computers have become mandatory to run a successful business. It is not enough to have
isolated computers systems; they need to be networked to facilitate communication with
external businesses. This exposes them to the outside world and hacking. System hacking
means using computers to commit fraudulent acts such as fraud, privacy invasion,
stealing corporate/personal data, etc. Cybercrimes cost many organizations millions of
dollars every year. Businesses need to protect themselves against such attacks.

Hacking refers to activities that seek to compromise digital devices, such as computers,
smartphones, tablets, and even entire networks. And while hacking might not always be
for malicious purposes, nowadays most references to hacking, and hackers, characterize
it/them as unlawful activity by cybercriminals—motivated by financial gain, protest,
information gathering (spying), and even just for the “fun” of the challenge. A commonly
used hacking definition is the act of compromising digital devices and networks through
unauthorized access to an account or computer system. Hacking is not always a malicious
act, but it is most commonly associated with illegal activity and data theft by cyber
criminals.

Hacking in cyber security refers to the misuse of devices like computers, smartphones,
tablets, and networks to cause damage to or corrupt systems, gather information on users,
steal data and documents, or disrupt data-related activity. A traditional view of hackers is
a lone rogue programmer who is highly skilled in coding and modifying computer
software and hardware systems. But this narrow view does not cover the true technical
nature of hacking. Hackers are increasingly growing in sophistication, using stealthy
attack methods designed to go completely unnoticed by cybersecurity software and IT
teams. They are also highly skilled in creating attack vectors that trick users into opening
malicious attachments or links and freely giving up their sensitive personal data.

ethical hacking is a process that helps improve the security of computer systems by
identifying potential weaknesses and vulnerabilities during their testing. It is done by
professionals who have authorized access to the computer and networks to report
loopholes in the system of an organization to safeguard it from future attacks or malicious
users. Ethical hackers use the same techniques and tools that black hat hackers use except that
they have the authorization to report weak points in an organization’s network or
computing environment while protecting the security and privacy of that information.

(ETI) “TYPES OF HACKING”

TYPES OF HACKING
o Phishing –

In this type of hacking, hackers’ intention is to steal critical information of

unlike account passwords, MasterCard detail, etc. For example, hackers can
replicate an original website for users’ interaction and can steal critical
information from the duplicate website the hacker has created.

o Virus –

These are triggered by the hacker into the filters of the website once they
enter into it. The purpose is to corrupt the information or resources on the
net website.

o UI redress –

In this technique, the hacker creates a pretend interface and once the user
clicks with the intent of progressing to a particular website, they are
directed to a special website.

o Cookie theft –

Hackers access the net website exploitation malicious codes and steal
cookies that contain tips, login passwords, etc. Get access to your
account then will do any factor besides your account.

o Distributed Denial-of-service(DDoS) –

This hacking technique is aimed toward taking down a website so that a

user cannot access it or deliver their service. Gets the server down and stops
it from responding, which may cause a condition error constantly.

o DNS spoofing –

This essentially uses the cache knowledge of an internet website or domain

that the user might have forgotten keeping up to date. It then directs the data
to a distinct malicious website.

o Social Engineering –

Social engineering is an attempt to manipulate you to share personal info,

sometimes by impersonating a trustworthy supply.

o Malware-Injection Devices –
Cyber-criminals will use hardware to sneak malware onto your pc. You
would have detected infected USB sticks which can allow hackers remote
access to your device when it is connected to your pc.

(ETI) “TYPES OF HACKING”

WHAT ARE THE THREE MAIN TYPES OF HACKERS?

Black hat hackers

Black hat hackers are cybercriminals that illegally crack systems with malicious intent.
Seeking to gain unauthorized access to computer systems is the definition of black hat
hacking. Once a black hat hacker finds a security vulnerability, they try to exploit it, often
by implanting a virus or other type of malware such as a trojan.
Ransomware attacks are another favoured ploy that black hat hackers use to extort
financial gains or breach data systems.

White hat hackers

White hat hackers are ethical security hackers who identify and fix vulnerabilities.
Hacking into systems with the permission of the organizations they hack into, white hat
hackers try to uncover system weaknesses in order to fix them and help strengthen a
system’s overall security. Many cybersecurity leaders started out as white hat hackers, but the
vital role played by ethical hacking is still widely misunderstood, as made clear by a
recent ethical hacking case in Germany.

Gray hat hackers

Gray hat hackers may not have the criminal or malicious intent of a black hat hacker, but
they also don’t have the prior knowledge or consent of those whose systems they hack
into. Nevertheless, when gray hat hackers uncover weaknesses such as zero-day
vulnerabilities, they report them rather than fully exploiting them. But Gray hat hackers
may demand payment in exchange for providing full details of what they uncovered.

OTHER TYPES OF HACKERS

Although nearly all hackers fall into one of the three categories (black hat, white hat, or
gray hat), there are other types and sub-types of hackers.

• Green hat hackers: green hat hackers are “green” in the sense that
they’re inexperienced and may lack the technical skills of more experienced
hackers. Green hats may rely on phishing and other social engineering
techniques to bypass security systems.

• Blue hat hackers: blue hat hackers are white hat hackers who are
actually employed by an organization to help improve their security
systems by conducting penetration tests.

• Red hat hackers: Also known as vigilante hackers, red hat hackers are
motivated by a desire to fight back against black hat hackers, but they do
this by infiltrating black hat communities on the dark web and launching
hacking attacks against their networks and devices.

(ETI) “TYPES OF HACKING”

TYPE OF CYBERCRIME

 Computer Fraud: Intentional deception for personal gain via the use of
computer systems.
 Privacy violation: Exposing personal information such as email
addresses, phone number, account details, etc. on social media, hacking a
website, etc.
 Identity Theft: Stealing personal information from somebody and impersonating
That person.
 Sharing copyrighted files/information: This involves distributing
copyright protected files such as eBooks and computer programs etc.
 Electronic funds transfer: This involves gaining an un-authorized access
to bank computer networks and making illegal fund transfers.
 Electronic money laundering: This involves the use of the computer to launder
money.
 ATM Fraud: This involves intercepting ATM card details such as
account number and PIN numbers. These details are then used to withdraw
funds from the intercepted accounts.
 Denial of Service Attacks: This involves the use of computers in multiple
locations to attack servers with a view of shutting them down.
 Spam: Sending unauthorized emails. These emails usually contain advertisements.

(ETI) “TYPES OF HACKING”

PREVENTION FROM GETTING HACKED

SOFTWARE UPDATE
Hackers are constantly on the lookout for vulnerabilities or holes in security that have not
been seen or patched. Therefore, updating software and operating systems are both
crucial to preventing users and organizations from getting hacked. They must enable
automatic updates and ensure the latest software version is always installed on all of their
devices and programs.

USE UNIQUE PASSWORDS FOR DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS

Weak passwords or account credentials and poor password practices are the most
common cause of data breaches and cyber attacks. It is vital to not only use strong
passwords that are difficult for hackers to crack but also to never use the same
password for different accounts. Using unique passwords is crucial to limiting hackers’
effectiveness.

HTTPS ENCRYPTION
Spoofed websites are another common vehicle for data theft, when hackers create a scam
website that looks legitimate but will actually steal the credentials that users enter. It is
important to look for the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) prefix at the start
of a web address. For example: https://www.fortinet.com.

AVOID CLICKING ON ADS OR STRANGE LINKS

Advertisements like pop-up ads are also widely used by hackers. When clicked, they lead
the user to inadvertently download malware or spyware onto their device. Links should
be treated carefully, and strange links within email messages or on social media, in
particular, should never be clicked. These can be used by hackers to install malware on a
device or lead users to spoofed websites.

CHANGE THE DEFAULT USERNAME AND PASSWORD ON YOUR

ROUTER AND SMART DEVICES
Routers and smart devices come with default usernames and passwords. However, as
providers ship millions of devices, there is a risk that the credentials are not unique,
which heightens the chances of hackers breaking into them. It is best practice to set a unique
username and password combination for these types of devices. Protect Yourself Against
Hacking

(ETI) “TYPES OF HACKING”

There are further steps that users and organizations can take
to protect themselves against the threat of hacking.

Download from First-party Sources

Only download applications or software from trusted organizations and first-party
sources. Downloading content from unknown sources means users do not fully know
what they are accessing, and the software can be infected with malware, viruses, or
Trojans.

Install Antivirus Software

Having antivirus software installed on devices is crucial to spotting potential malicious

files, activity, and bad actors. A trusted antivirus tool protects users and organizations from
the latest malware, spyware, and viruses and uses advanced detection engines to block
and prevent new and evolving threats.

Use a VPN
Using a virtual private network (VPN) allows users to browse the internet securely. It
hides their location and prevents hackers from intercepting their data or browsing
activity.

Do Not Login as an Admin by Default

"Admin" is one of the most commonly used usernames by IT departments, and hackers use
this information to target organizations. Signing in with this name makes you a hacking
target, so do not log in with it by default.

Use a Password Manager

Creating strong, unique passwords is a security best practice, but remembering them is
difficult. Password managers are useful tools for helping people use strong, hard-to-crack
passwords without having to worry about remembering them.

Use Two-factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) removes people's reliance on passwords and provides
more certainty that the person accessing an account is who they say they are. When a
user logs in to their account, they are then prompted to provide another piece of identity
evidence, such as their fingerprint or a code sent to their device.
