Fake WAP

Fake WAP

There are a horde of things out there that goes under the general name 'hacking.' But what precisely are these demonstrations and what is the completely most effortless one for programmers to finish?

This is a stealth assault, similar to a lethal ninja, known as a phony remote access point (Fake WAP). You may likewise know it as a 'man in the center' assault. Programmers can do this effectively enough, taking your information covertly with the goal that you're unaware. More regrettable yet, you'll HELP them do it! A VPN is your vital component to ensuring this doesn't transpire, regardless of the possibility that you do fall into their trap.


As a reward, I get the chance to add pictures of ninjas to this post and it absolutely bodes well.

What is a fake wireless access point

This is the point at which a programmer utilizes a basic bit of programming and a remote system get to card. They will utilize these and go out into the general population some place and make an association accessible that you can interface with remotely. Normally they will associate with a honest to goodness remote association that is accessible in general society zone and veil it – cover it like a ninja! 

What does this generally resemble? Wowser, it doesn't come up on your remote systems accessible rundown as "Ninja hacking your portable workstation." Usually they'll be in an open place where there is a notable complimentary wireless internet point. They will then influence their free remote access to point (WAP) a comparative name. 

For example, on the off chance that they're in a Starbucks that has complimentary wireless internet, they'll simply open up a phony WAP that says "Starbucks Free WiFi." If they're out at, say, an air terminal where many individuals simply need to interface for a minute and get on with their day, they could utilize "YVR Free Wifi," or "Vancouver Airport Free WiFi." 

In case you're not cautious you will be unaware – like if a ninja assaulted you!

How hackers use the data they steal

he trap is that these complimentary wireless internet records will have a record and secret word related with them. The phony WAP will be setup by the programmer to take the data, that you uninhibitedly provide for them when you sign in, and utilize it to endeavor to sign in to other prominent destinations. 

On the off chance that you begin seeing obscure charges on your Amazon, iTunes or whatever other online retailer that uses your standard sign in name and secret word, you've likely been hacked in this way. Exactly when you thought programmers were so smart and scheming, you gave them your data – simply like how a ninja lays in sit tight for you to give them an opening to execute you!
They will likewise utilize the data taken from a phony WAP to attempt and take your Facebook, Twitter and other online networking accounts. They would then be able to utilize it to pitch your records to sponsors and take information inside your record. 

Regardless of the possibility that you aren't requested a join, they can at present 'see' your information as you send it over their phony WAP. The quantity of passwords that are sent in plain content, and the measure of information that isn't encoded, is significantly higher than you might suspect.

XOR bitwise operation The Ultimate Shift Cipher If you’ve seen the lesson on the  one-time pad , you know that it is the  ultimate shift cipher . It involves the application of a  random list of shifts  equal to the  length of the message . It’s important to understand exactly how and why the one-time pad is unbreakable, or,  perfectly secret . To understand why, we need to first introduce the  AND ,  OR  and  XOR  bitwise operations. Specifically why XOR must be used when performing the one-time pad on computers.  Bitwise  simply means that we are dealing with individual bits, or  binary numbers . In any modern/computerized encryption scheme we represent our symbols using binary digits. If you forgot why, you can check out this video on  Computer Memory Encrypting Colors Let’s begin with a visual example by  encrypting a color  in the Khan Academy logo. How do we turn a color into a number? Well, right now you are lookin

Shift cipher Modular Math and the Shift Cipher The Caesar Cipher is a type of  shift cipher . Shift Ciphers work by using the modulo operator to encrypt and decrypt messages. The Shift Cipher has a  key K , which is an  integer from 0 to 25 . We will only share this key with people that we want to see our message. How to Encrypt: For every letter in the message  M  : 1.  Convert the letter into the number that matches its order in the alphabet starting from 0, and call this number  X . ( A=0, B=1, C=2, ...,Y=24, Z=25) 2.  Calculate:  Y  =  (X + K)  mod  26 3.  Convert the number  Y  into a letter that matches its order in the alphabet starting from 0. (A=0, B=1, C=2, ...,Y=24, Z=25) For Example:  We agree with our friend to use the Shift Cipher with  key K=19 for our message.  We encrypt the message  "KHAN",  as follows:​ So, after applying the Shift Cipher with key K=19 our message t
