Hacking and Security

§  This is a story that is concerned with a young man (thirteen years old) who attacked the GRC.com website. The website belongs to a giant research corporation. The CEO of that corporation is Steve Gibson. On March 4th evening of 2001, the GRC website went down. Gibson found out that his corporation was hacked by a little kid so he did the best he could to track him and catch him. At the end, Gibson was finally able to catch him and stop what he did.



§  Windows PC’s were unable to send TC PSYN packets to pot 80 and were only able to flood them with UDD and LCMP packets (Which could be temporarily ignored)  ISP was able to filter their receipt of the malicious packets before they were able to reach their T1 trunks. TCP – based services ( web/ FTP news) offered even under continuing attack.


·         ATTCKS WERE 474.
·         ATTACKED BY 474 Windows PC’S and a machine per piece wich means 474 machines with multiple domains.


·         Hackers referring to various lists of “cable Bots” and saying things like “ Heh, but now many of this Bots are cable?” are a remote control of Zombie.

·         Eight machines used in the attack.




Regarding the statement, I would say that I agree.

·         A better security should be provided.
·         The Internet security intervention should be prevented by putting a law for judging those people and giving them harsh punishments.





Sub 7 Server: Grants the hacker who is controlling the Zombie, the “ Zombie Master”  - absolute control over his victim’s machines.

Sub 7Server Torjan enables is monitoring every keystroke for the purpose of capturing anything online such as, passwords, credit cards, eBanking …etc.
