Summary

  

Hackers are a diverse group that could have many reasons for hacking into a system. Their tools and techniques are as diverse as the hackers themselves . Even though they have diverse methods , the only way through a computer system is through a network. A hacked application can be pulled down by a user , e-mailed as a virus, or put on the computer by the hacker. The hacker can sniff the network to understand the packets that are being sent. The organization can sniff the network just as well to protect their networks.

The hacker, through a strong understanding of the operating system and applications, can control the computer once he gains access to it. The user, having access to the computer, can apply his knowledge of operating systems to contain the hacker. The hacker can be mapped to an isolated system to be contained and identified. The hacker is feared among the organizations of the world, but the hacker has more to lose, and there is always the chance that he is hacking into an organization that knows more about hacking than he does.
