In my last post i discussed some simple possibilities of how could someone hack into your email address and how to prevent it. But this time i am going a little technical to tell you more details and more tips on how to prevent it.
How will someone hack your email id?? It’s given below !
Brute Force Attack – It is , i think so , the easiest and the toughest way to hack a password. It’s easy as you don’t need to do anything , everything is done by the computer and the software and toughest because it can take away around 2 months or even more to hack a password.
This attack tries every damn combination of letters like aeoiwu or gdlokfka or anything until it breaks into your pass. More shorter your password the lesser time it will take to hack into the password.
Dictionary Attack – Similar to Brute Force is Dictionary attack. As the name suggests , this attack uses dictionary words so it takes less time and is an easy attack if the user has kept his password which matches a dictionary word only. If it is a combination of letters or is a phrase you can’t find it via this, you need to use Brute Force Attack.
Trojan Horse – It is the most used virus by hackers. it takes the least time to 
attack and reveal data. This is simply done by uploading a trojan
somewhere as some cookie or other thing and wen you visit the website , it starts getting downloaded. When it’s done your computer is now in control of the hacker. What ever program is written in the trojan horse it will perform it, like it has been programmed to send information from your browser to some other computer it will do that and so when you login to something via your browser , there goes your password.
Precautions to help you prevent the above tragedies.
