PASSWORD yes the most important thing that allows the only enter into the specific account. without password nearly impossible to access any specific account if its protected. so mostly hacker stole password with different hacking methods
basically i am going to tell you how this all methods works
1. KEYLOGGER
basically i am going to tell you how this all methods works
1. KEYLOGGER
KEYLOGGER
keylogger itself explain that it trace the keys which typed by the users. actually there are keylogger which works on computers and mobiles also when keylogger get installed into your computer is starts tracing the keys which user enter's and the keylogger have ability to hide itself too. so once it get installed in your computer or mobile then its hard to detect it. as you type your PASSWORDS of bank,facebook,instagram etc accounts it all captures n store into the computer or send it online to the hacker.
so whenever you go out at net cafe etc just be careful about such things try to use incognito mode in the browser. same thing for the mobiles once keylogger get installed in your mobile it hide's itself so you can't even detect it. so the best way is just stay away from any random Un-trusted applications
2. PAYLOAD
infected CODE in Pdf
payload is the code which injected into the specific application (Pdf , image etc) like what's app , Instagram etc so whenever you install that application into your phone that code which injected into the application also get installed. you think like its just a normal application but whenever you run that application the code also runs with it and you will never know.
once code get start running with the application hacker start's its work now he can access your all mobile and that's what it make your password get hacked
3. PHISHING
Phishing page same looks as Facebook
phishing is a kind of social engineering attack in which same page which looks like a (i.e Facebook or Instagram etc) made by hacker and it ill be uploaded into the internet. the link of that page given to the victim and then social engineering get stared to work. it will says you login with this link. once you got logged in with that link suddenly your password and user id get redirected to the hacker and game over.
4. BRUTE FORCE ATTACK
brute force attack on local machine
brute force attack is not that preferable attack for strong passwords but yes for very weak passwords it will work for sure. in this attack hacker tries keep guessing your password again and again with help of password list.
now the password list is the list which contain all common guessable and universal passwords so with that list hacker apply each and every password that list contain but this attack is get slower and U
n-affected as password is strong may it will take 5 minutes or may it will take 12 hours or may be days its completely depend upon the strength of password and processing capacity of your computer as it tries with each and every password is in the list so your computer must be that fast so it can process and try that all passwords in the list may be that list contains thousands of password or more than that
this is the most used and successful attacks done by hackers there are much more other ways too but they are not efficient like this four attacks i mentioned
