You do know that it does happen a lot these days so that ll be a lot of shivering for you man. But then again it all depends what was the reason behind carrying out a hack anyways. And again when...

How do you do what???hack???

Must have hacked into one of US security systems, ironic that they are called the Security systems but every few days someone is able to hack into it. Instead of making sure that the system is...

yeh but thats the thing, i mean if you are watching something online aas there are a lot of sites where movies are hosted and you can watch em online, would that be strike one. This would mean that...

so that is why i was asking it is still a kind of downloading process, so how are they to determine whether the download was legal or illegal, even though the person in question didnt even actually...

You see that was what i was thinking but i found out once i was watching this video i just went into the temp folder and the file was there and i saved that file for later use which made me ask the...

Dammit, then i ll have to stop downloading stuff then. Nevermind on topic at hand then, would that mean they would have the details of the hackers as well as they would have been some ISP obviously...

well my isp is Virgin media and i can imagine them being affected by illegal downloads. and apparently they are going to go with three strikes and you are out approach. Which will mean i ll have to...

Hey thanks Maydhyam, although i ll have to go home and check out the link as the site is restricted form my workplace...but i ll definitely have a look at it, cheers

Welcome back Maulth, this thread did grow but still your input was quite invaluable for this thread to be at this stage.

Since I have read about the Internet companies going to send out letters...

See now I feel bad about the real Hackers.

If only I would have read this bit before then I would have named this thread something diffrent. Still a loud apology to the real Hackers, no offence...

well he has been really keen on learning how to hack on this thread at least since he has joined this conversation, but never mind that. We shall continue to explore diffrent aspects of this...

Now that would be classed as black hat hacking as obviously that was intentional harm done to the owner of that particular site without proper authorisation.

And to answer Technogeek's request,...

We did discuss this issue earlier on this thread that hacking has different aspects, you can't learn white hat hacking mate. You can learn hacking, then its the use of that skill what makes it White...

Point noted.

Thanks man.

So does it mean that the deleting browsing history do not clear up the index.dat file then eh???

Raj

But when you remove the internet history on IE does that erase it from the Index.dat or does it still remains in there without the user's klnowledge. And how important is that file for the system???...

AS i have already said in the above post cracking and hacking do not have too much difference, they are mostly illegal, but there are sometimes the ethical hackers who will try to hack into a system...

Right just to answer the question at hand, cracking would be breaking into the security setup of a program to use it illegaly. You can find a lot of cracked softwares on the net to download and...

But then again isnt it with every species, never mind just humans. Every one let their guard down once in a while, even animal species as well. Also arent we the only species to have progressed from...

Right and what would he start to download as obviously it would initiate downloads on the modem or basically it was just opening up the download ports on the modem or something.

Raj

Thankis for the update man, so can you friend also get you free long distance calls by whistling to the phone????

Raj

Yep and anything out of ordinary would raise a few eyebrows and questions as you just experienced yourself. By the way how much did the shipment cost you as what i have heard is Cisco stuff is darn...

Ebay is ok as long as you dont fall for a scammer seller. I use e-buyer very good and reliable.

play.com cheap, free delivery on everything, very competitive prices but not that much range for the...

right mr hammerhead, getting into the philosophical world are we...define social engineer for us please.
ANd how are the humans weakest link in terms of security as well? Also wouldn't that apply to...

Well that is the main idea behind starting this thread man, lets hope it keeps going. Been quiet for a few days though. Don't want it to fade out.

I was wondering about the question about the...

well mostly depends on what you are hacking into and what was the purpose?

Laws are there depending on your location. A lot of countries have very strict laws against hacking. I read this article...

exactly, i wish i could do something like that. Our business blocked the gaming websites a while back so a couple of issues were raised with the helpdesk that internet access is down. Truned out the...

conclusion: i'd say that stay away from these things, they are pretty tempting but end results are hardly pleasing.

But any input towards hacking topic is always welcome.

Raj

well surveys would not be that helpful as I have noticed, we as end users never have time to go through the surveys to give feedback t the IT support. I know its not a good practise but thats the way...

One of the hackers used a whistle that came with a cereal box to make some long distance calls or something as the whistle made the exact same frequency noise as the phone company's voice modem...

Right ok, maybe the phone in DH4 was smartphone. I must have been mistaken.

Here comes another dumb question related to movies, this is what i saw in The Core, if you have seen it then the...

Yes its the touchscreen one with a full qwerty keyboard on the side slide.

what is the difference and how can you confirm which one is which i know for sure its Windows Mobile but which version it is I have no friggin clue. Since i ended the contract i have been using it...

wat phone is it that u have, i got tmobile vario, good phone but never explored any of the features to see what it could do?

I never ever intended to make this a step by step instuction booklet to hack systems, never thought to do it. As in the start of the thread I made it clear that this is supposed to be one of those...

nope it was the pc one that u can see fella

But i was wanting to know how would a hacker go about finding out, gven that he does not have the access what you would have? You have got it easy my mate:)

I don't really understand the last sentence but what i make out of it was, if you do find the IP for someone then just leave it at that without messing with it. Hope I got it right.

Now not to...

Yeah but then again in that case it would be authorised activity for which they would allow each other to see their IP addresses. but when we are talking about illegal hacking thats when they need to...

Now that we are on this subject how do these tools work? You know how do they determine the Addresses?
I mean do they just scan the range of addresses on game servers for example.

Or the third...
