Hacking Passwords!

Alight boyz and girls!! This is some of the coolest thing you would ever want to do. I am writing this article for educational purpose. Hacking is illegal, and should not be done. Be an ethical hacker, help save the world from the bad guyz. Alight enough said, before I tell you guys how hacking works and how you can start hacking, I want to tell you guys a few things about hacking. Hackers are the people who work for "security" ethically, to remove the bad guys. The crackers on the other hand are the people who destroy security, the bad guys. You don't want to be a bad boy, because there are lot of Hackers waiting to crack on the bad guys.

When it comes to hacking passwords, there are number of ways you can go. The most easiest way, that anyone can do it is "Key logger", no knowledge of programming required. The other popular method is brute force method, in this we look for possible keys to break the password until the key is actually found. The hardest and common hacking technique used to get the password is SQL injection.

First off key loggers, you can go on google type in "key logger" and you will find a lots of websites that will give you a key logger for limited time. Just click on one of the links download a key logger and you good to go. Key logger works in the background of your windows, that means no would know that it's working, and it records every single key that has been pressed. Amazing isnt it, all you gotta do is download a key logger, get familiarized and make your friends use your computer and boom. You can get their password.

Next method, which is brute force method is a very effective method but yet time consuming. In this method what happens is that let's say a website asks you to enter a password and it's only numbers and we assume that the person your trying to hack the account of had 6 characters. that means 6 numbers. You generate all the possible passwords there can be knowing it's 6 character number password. If you know this information, you can calculate number of possibilities (6^10)=60466176. we use 10 because there are 10 number (0-9). So you generate all the possibilities and compare it, and hack it. I made a c-program that generated all the possible passwords and using TCP/IP stack I checked it with the user name on that website.

The third method is SQL injection. This method is used by lot of people to hack passwords. SQL is used by all the website to store there username and password. So imagine going into the system and pulling out the password this is what SQL injection does. To do this you should have a very deep knowledge of programming, and hacking passwords for sites like facebook are almost impossible, because facebook has 7 layers of security before you can get to their SQL data base.

These are some of the techniques used by people out there to get passwords. So do it, have fun, and remember be an ethical hacker.
