Principle of ethical hacking

Ethical hacking is where we study the techniques and tools of hackers.

People who hack use bots that run through data of the internet in search of personal information such as passwords and emails, so they can access their accounts. Weak passwords are more easily hacked, and you don’t want to use the same password for multiply accounts always they will have access to all your accounts with the same password.

Encryption is where information can be shared/transported privately through a safe barrier. Caesar cipher is the most ancient encryptions record. Caesar cypher is an encryption that combines a word with the alphabet, and it changes each letter by a certain number of letters after it’s the certain letter in the alphabet to encrypt the word/s. Caesar cipher is a very useful type of encryption because it was such a simple concept, but was so hard to crack by a human. Computers can crack over 10 billion types of encryptions in less than a few seconds.

We today use 256 bit encryption to encrypt messages which would take 12 super computers over a trillion’s years. These codes are cracked by a symmetrical encryptions key that is shared with the sender and receivers over the email/message. Asymmetric encryption is where multiply people can send a message but only one person has the key to decode the encrypted message. Everything on the internet is protected by asymmetric encryptions so no one else can access your own private information and you can’t access theirs. If you see ‘https’ in the URL this means that the website is more secure the ‘http’ meaning that any information given to this website is harder for hackers to steal that info. ‘https’ means it has SSL which is short for security socket layers which is safer TLS which ‘http’ has.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
