What is virtual machine? And How to use virtual box?

Virtual environment (Running two operating systems at a time)

1)      Running multiple Operating systems simultaneously
.
2)      Testing and disaster recovery by taking “snapshot”

3)      Host O.S – The physical O.S that is running

4)      Guest O.S – The O.S that is running in  virtual box (Virtual Machine)

5)      Virtual Machine (VM): The environment hat virtual box creates for guest O.S
                                                               i.      It opens like a window
                                                             ii.      It is just like a container

6)      Guest Additions: Specific software packages, adding extra features etc
                                                               i.      Includes shared folders (Host to Guest vice versa), Seamless window, 3D virtualization

7)      Portability: Importing and exporting to other hosts. Works same as like on original host (Importing and exporting in OVF (Open Virtualization Format)

8)      No Hardware virtualization is required, it can work on old and new hardware.

Great Hardware Support:

Guest multiprocessing – 32 virtual cpu’s, USB support, hardware compatibility, Full ACPI support (Advanced configuration and power interface), PXE network boot – integrated virtual network cards of virtual box fully support remote booting via pre boot execution environment.

Multi generation snapshots: Arbitrary snapshots so that you can revert back (Just like system restore)

Cabling

Difference between straight through, crossover, and rollover cables:


Straight through:

      Straight through cables, the wires connect to the same pins on either side of the cable.These cables are primarily used for connecting unlike devices like router to switch, computer to switch, hub to switch etc.



Cross over:

     Cross over cables are similar to straight through cables, except that they have pairs of wires that crisscross. This allows for two devices to communicate at same time. The cables are primarily used for connecting like devices.


Roll over cables:

    Roll over cables essentially have one end of the cable wired exactly opposite from the other.This usually connect a device to a router or switch’s console port.

Hackers and Its Types

What is Hacking?

Hacking means breaching in to a computer or in a system or into software in which the access is private. It means getting in and maintaining access in a cyber place where you don’t have rights to enter.

Types of Hackers:
 There are three types of hackers and are:

1.       White hat hackers:

They are ethical hackers and just work as a security expert in any bank/society/online company etc. They just find vulnerabilities and possible attack in a system and make that system more secure. They have permission to make testing of vulnerabilities in the system and they do there self attack and tell what the vulnerability is. These people never harm any thing.

2.                   Black hat hackers:

They are unethical hacker and they breach into a system for fun or money. There is no specific reason or issue for which they do hacking.

3.                   Red/Grey hat hacker:

They are those people who do hacking for money. These people will have high knowledge that they can break through any thing if you pay money.

SCRIPT KIDDIE: A person who use tools with no contribution to hacking community, kiddies don’t know how to create their own tools or use advanced tools and constantly use the same tools to hack a  server or system, often not effectively. To some degree all hackers are script kiddies, but a good hacker has the ability to make intelligent decisions such as determining false positives from virus scans.

VULNERABILITY:  A weakness that could lead to compromised security. It may be discovered accidentally. Somebody may write a script to exploit this vulnerability.

WAR DRIVERS: People who take some kind of portable device, for example a USB drive or a laptop and just go to a public location. Then they pick up a wireless signal and possibly see what software it is running and may be find exploits for that software, but war drivers are not limited to this. They often just use this for free internets in the case they don’t have access to it themselves.

BLACK BOX ATTACKS: Security testing with no knowledge of the network infrastructure, for example attacking a company from the internet.

WHITE BOX ATTACKS: Security testing with complete knowledge of the network infrastructure.

KEYLOGGER: A key logger is a program usually runs secretly in the background that record what user type, then the typed output is usually sent via email or uploaded by the key logger.

IP Address

Exploiting IP address:

What is IP address?

a) Netstat –n:
Or find by going to whatismyip.com

Tracing route of the website: tracert website-name
((Blue color indicates the address of that website, In some places you will see * this implies that there are firewalls in that hop ip))

b) nslookup

You may see written there that you are not authenticated two this route. Now for getting ip address and for getting more information about a website you may also use these websites.
Samspade.com -> dnsstuff.com -> whois.net

Proxy websites: www.hidemyass.com
You can also search in google by typing public proxy servers.
