Mobile hacking menaceMobile hacking has become very common these days. Mobile hacking can be explained as the penetration of or an unauthorized entry in to a mobile network. Hacking can be done in many ways depending on how skilled the hacker is. And once the hacker has successfully entered the system, he can play with the network setting, tamper with the software, destroy the other security systems and can do many more things which we can’t even think of. The mobile hacking has become like a growing trend and is becoming popular among the young generations and more and more people are taking up this.
There are various technical methods of hacking are listed below. These methods are a series of steps that are followed by hackers to hack software.
The first step of mobile hacking or any software hacking is “network enumeration”. This means gathering of information as much as possible, so that the penetration into the system (as talked about earlier) becomes easier. These finding are possible through particular software’s like “network discovery software”. Further information is gathered through eavesdropping. This is usually done by “sniffer” or “network analyzer”. This helps in monitoring the data packets that are being transferred by the network.
The next step is the vulnerability assessment. This helps in the scanning for vulnerabilities present within the network. This is possible through software called as the “network scanner”.
Depending on this result the hacker determines the ways of entering the system. And this can be done through a network cracking software.
Mobiles usually have software which is usually easy to hack. Now a day with this growing nuisance mobile companies have also come up wit anti hacking software for the good of the public. Mobile hacking doesn’t have a solution. It’s just that customers should check for anti hacking software before buying mobiles.
