Phreaking is a slang term for hacking into secure telecommunication networks. The term phreaking originally referred to exploring and exploiting the phone networks by mimicking dialing tones to trigger the automatic switches using whistles or custom blue boxes designed for that purpose. Generally speaking, curiosity about how phone networks operated motivated phreaks, rather than a desire to defraud telecommunications companies.  Phreaking has become synonymous with hacking now that networks have gone cellular and cracking them requires more clearly illegal methods. Phreaks - a combination of phone and freaks - were a defined subculture in the 1970s. Using relatively low-tech hacks like the plastic whistle from Captain Crunch boxes to the do-it-yourself blue boxes, phreaks maintained a social network similar to that of ham radio enthusiasts. The rising complexity of network security meant that more explicit lines needed to be crossed in order to continue phreaking. Possibly one of ...

What is hacktivism? Hacktivism is the act of misusing a computer system or network for a socially or politically motivated reason. Individuals who perform hacktivism are known as hacktivists.

What is a Script Kiddie? A script kiddie, or skid, is a term that describes a young hacker who has much to learn yet acts as if he or she knows everything. Most of them are teenagers who are in it for fun and treat hacking as a game. Mostly they hack for bragging rights. They also don’t make a real effort to improve their hacking skills. Most don’t even know how to write a hacking program or ‘script’ and are content to pirate those made by others. This lack of skills often leads to their arrest because they leave a trail that’s easy for investigators to track down. In Internet slang, “script kiddie” is a derogatory term used to describe a person who uses scripts or codes developed by real hackers to attack a network or website. Script kiddies have little to no coding skills, and rely on available tools or exploit kits to carry out an attack. Script kiddies also go by the term’s variations, such as “kiddie” or “skid. Script Kiddies Hackers Script kiddies differ from real hackers because...

Computer cracker A computer cracker is an outdated term to describe someone who broke into computer systems, bypassed passwords or licenses in computer programs, or intentionally breached computer security. Computer crackers were motivated by malicious intent, for-profit, or just because the challenge was there. Cracker vs Hacker The antiquated phrase  computer   cracker  is not used anymore. It was originally proposed as an antonym, or the opposite, of the term  hacker . Hackers initially applied to only those who used their computing skills  without  malicious intent -- they broke into systems to identify or solve technical issues. Skillful technologists with altruistic motives were called  hackers ; those with bad intent were called  computer crackers . This distinction never gained much traction, however. In 1993, the Internet Users' Glossary defined a hacker as "a person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the intern...

History of Metasploit The Metasploit Project was undertaken in 2003 by H.D. Moore for use as a Perl-based portable network tool, with assistance from core developer Matt Miller. It was fully converted to Ruby by 2007, and the license was acquired by Rapid7 in 2009, where it remains as part of the Boston-based company’s repertoire of IDS signature development and targeted remote exploit, fuzzing, anti-forensic, and evasion tools. Portions of these other tools reside within the Metasploit framework, which is built into the Kali Linux OS. Rapid7 has also developed two proprietary OpenCore tools, Metasploit Pro, Metasploit Express. This framework has become the go-to exploit development and mitigation tool. Prior to Metasploit, pen testers had to perform all probes manually by using a variety of tools that may or may not have supported the platform they were testing, writing their own code by hand, and introducing it onto networks manually. Remote testing was virtually unheard of, and that...
