10:52 PM Hacking Bank Account Information | |
Most people learning
hacking always have a keen interest in knowing that how they can hack
bank accounts of other people. But most of them find it pity much
difficult such that now they have made a perception that bank account information like credit cards or debit cards or net banking passwords cannot be hacked. Its truth to an extent that hacking Banking account information and credit or debit cards passwords is most difficult and almost impossible part. Today i will discuss with you why hacking bank account information is tough and always considered as impossible task. We will also discuss the different methods that hackers use to hack bank account information nowadays.  I am quite sure that almost everybody using internet nowadays uses that internet to pay online bills,
book reservation tickets, purchase online things or simply transfer
money i.e. involved in at least some kind of online transaction that is
related to money i.e. banking information, credit or debit card payments or simply Net banking. Most of banks uses SSL(Secured Sockets Layer) connection (to read more click here )and at least 128 or 256 bit encryption for online
banking and transaction purposes. Also now an extra layer of security
is introduced that is called transaction PIN layer means for each and
every online transaction you have to enter your passwords and during
transaction you have to enter PIN (a type
of password that varies 4 to 8 chars in length). Thus bank do alot of
work to protect your secret information and credentials from the eyes of
the world that may wish to gain access to your such a vital
information. Below example will illustrate you how powerful the encryption method is:
That's
a very powerful method of encrypting data sent from your machine to
bank machine. But unfortunately it's all is useless to you once your
system has been compromised or hacked. Now
How these all security Encryption can be bypassed and your system can
be compromised online. There are several methods for exploiting and bypassing such account information. Note : This is for educational purposes only( For more details read Disclosure). Some of them are: 1. Phishing : We have discussed phishing on this website alot of times in tutorials like how to hack Gmail accounts password or
hacking Facebook accounts and others too. But for new Guys I explain
what is Phishing. Phishing is a technique to hack password and login
details of a particular website using Phish pages. Now what are Phish
pages? Phish Pages are simply the fake pages that looks the original
webpage. The only difference between phish page and original page is the
Address bar link (for normal user) and redirection post and get method(
inside source for advanced users). How to identify a fake link? Just
check the address bar URL for a fake page or Phish page it will be
showing different URL than the original URL. Also if you want that
everything is done automatically then install a Web security tool bar in
your browser (AVG and Crawler web security tool bars are good choices)
as it detects the phishing automatically and do not allows you to visit
Phishing Pages. 2. Trojans: Trojans are type
to viruses that steals your information. It can be in many forms like
Keyloggers or RAT's( remote administration tools). What a keylogger do
is that it monitors all the keys that you have pressed from your
physical keyboard and stores them in form of a log and send these
details to hackers. RAT's are advanced form of Keyloggers that remotely
monitors all your activities where keylogger is simply a functionality.
Using RAT hacker can connect to your system anonymously i.e. without
your information when you are online. RAT's have a huge list of
functionality and these are best type of hacking tools available in the
market. Now How you will protect yourself from Keyloggers? Just keep
your antivirus updated and install Keyscramber that encrypts your
keystrokes. Now why i haven't mentioned RAT there is because once the
RAT enters your system you cannot do anything
other than formatting your system. So RAT's attack only can be
prevented before they enters in your system. For preventing from RAT's
Please do not download any software or cracks or keygens online. Also
avoid downloading freewares from new websites use certified websites
only like CNET, filehippo etc.. Also please avoid testing fake hack
tools (recommended for hackers) because most hacking tools have
keylogger and RAT's attached to them. Test it under secured conditions
like on Virtual Users. Means install virtual operating system user Virtual PC or Virtual Box and then test them there. 3. Session Hijacking:
Most of us uses Wireless Networks to access the internet and data flow
in form of packets and channels. And we know that Wireless are easier to
hack as they have very weak encryption. So Hackers hack the wireless
networks and using session Hijacking they take control of the internet
data transfer and redirects the user from original path to their path.
Means suppose you are visiting Google or Gmail or Facebook, then hacker
when get access then he can redirect you to any of the page and capture
you account details. Packet sniffing is another way to hack the account information
and credentials using the wireless networks where Hackers captures
packets and decrypt these encrypted information to get the information
in form of plain text. Now how you will prevent this? Its also pity
simple to prevent this, you need to hide you SSID and BSSID from being
discovered by the other networks. Just leave the SSID or BSSID empty for
that. Now hacker will not be able to discover your wireless router so
he will not been able to hack it. That's all for today friends, I hope you all have liked the discussion about Why Hacking Bank Account is tough. I know its not tough but its tough if user is aware how its done because he can fix all loopholes and vulnerabilities. If You like my posts or have any doubts please post your comments. | |
