(Note This manual was created for Information purposes only.) Introduction T HE internet is ever growing and you and I are truly pebbles in a vast ocean of information. They say what you don’t know can’t hurt you. When it comes to the Internet believe quite the opposite. On the Internet there a millions and millions of computer users logging on and off on a daily basis. Information is transferred from one point to another in a heartbeat. Amongst those millions upon millions of users, there’s you. As humble a user you may be of the Internet, you are pitted against the sharks of the information super highway daily. Problem with that is the stealth by which it happens. Currently about 30-40% of all users are aware of the happenings on their computer. The others simply either don’t care or don’t have the proper “know how” to recognize if their system is under attack and or being used. You bought this manual because you are concerned about your privacy on the Internet. As well you should be. On the Internet nothing is quite what it appears to be. The uninformed will get hurt in many ways. 3333 By taking interest in your privacy and safety, you have proven yourself to be above the rest. You can never have enough information. Information is power and the more informed you as a user become the less likely you are to fall prey to the sharks of the Internet. In this manual, I will cover with you things that may scare you. Some things may even make you paranoid about having a computer. Don’t be discouraged though, as I will also tell you how to protect yourself. The reasons for telling you the “dirt” if you will is that I feel it important for you to know what is at risk. I wrote this manual as a guide. To show you how hackers gain access to your system using security flaws and programs. The theory goes that if you are aware of what they are doing and how they are doing it you’ll be in a much better position to protect yourself from these attacks. (Through out this manual you will see reference to the term “Hacker.” This is a term I use very loosely for these individuals.) These are just a few of the topics that will be covered: • How “hackers” get into your system • What tools they use • How a hacker can effectively “Bug” your house via your computer. (Don’t believe me, read on you’ll be very surprised) • What information they have access to. And why you should try to protect yourself. (You might be surprised to find out what they know.) • Tips and tricks that hackers use • How your Antivirus software alone is not enough • What to look for if you suspect you’re being hacked • What the greatest flaw to all computers are • And more… 4444 By no means am I going to make a ludicrous claim that this manual will protect you from everything. What I will say is that by reading this manual hopefully you will be in a better situation to protect yourself from having your information compromised. Did you know it doesn’t matter if you’re connected to the net 24hrs a day or 15 min’s a day your system is vulnerable. Not only is it vulnerable in that 15 min’s you can possibly loose all your data get locked out of your own system and have all your confidential information like your “Bank Account Numbers”, “Your Budget”, “Your personal home address” compromised. Don’t give me wrong, I’m not trying to throw you into a state of paranoia either. What I am saying is that if you’re not careful you leave yourself open to a wide range of attacks. Perhaps you’re skeptical and saying to yourself “Oh I don’t do anything on the net except check my E-mail etc that sort of thing can’t happen to me.” Okay I like a challenge let’s do a test! 5555 Chapter 1 SYSTEM INTRUSION IN 15 SECONDS System intrusion in 15 seconds, that’s right it can be done. If you possess certain security flaws your system can be broken into in less that 15 seconds. To begin this chapter I’d like you to do the following. Connect to the Internet using your dial up account if you are on dial up. If you are on dedicated service like High Speed connections (ie, Cable and DSL) then just proceed with the steps below. • Click Start • Go to Run • Click Run (It’s a step by step manual) :-) • Type Winipcfg • Hit the Enter Key 6666 This should bring up a window that looks like the following * For editorial reason the above info has been omitted * What you should see under IP address is a number that looks something like this. 207.175.1.1 (The number will be different.) If you use Dial Up Internet Access then you will find your IP address under PPP adapter. If you have dedicated access you will find your IP address under another adapter name like (PCI Busmaster, SMC Adapter, etc.) You can see a list by clicking on the down arrow. 7777 Once you have the IP address write it down, then close that window by clicking (OK) and do the following. • Click Start • Go to Run (Click on Run) • Type command then Click OK At this point you should see a screen that looks like this. Type the following at the Dos Prompt • Nbtstat –A IP address For example: nbtstat –A 207.175.1.1 (Please note that you must type the A in capitol letters.) 8888
