[Guide] How NOT to get your account hacked

[Chugi]

MoWarez, there's something called a Bruteforce attack.

Generally, hackers build these custom tools that try to login to your account with automated queries to the server using proxies. They use wordlists and custom lists as passwords.

If there are 2 users, one has the password of p4S5w0Rd, and the other has )3a#_@|B which do you think is more likely to appear in the hacker's wordlist?

I think you know the answer, mate

Thnx for the reply.

Chugi Reviewed by Chugi on 6th Nov 2011. [Guide] How NOT to get your account hacked OK, so I see MANY users saying that their file host accounts were hacked lately. Here are a few simple tips to keep yourself from getting hacked. Computer Security: You need to have 2 basic applications, a good antivirus and a good anti malware program. I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials 2011 (it's free) and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Do a full scan on your computer and keep them always active with the protection modules working. That should cover your pc. Rating: 5

First of all bruteforcing is not hacking bruteforcing count more as cracking.

For a Hacker it does not matter whats your password is if I hack your friend and send you message to my drive by page telling you it's my new website and what do you think? or its my latest pics what do you think ? Then I can get your password loads easy with out using bruteforcer.


If Hacker wants your login's he don't nessesery need to hack you to get it. I run big hack forums so I know few things about it you can see my video on youtube type in KKK hacked. admin of that site used very complex password and it was encrypted with MD5 How do you think I hacked them ?


I don't always hack sites we usually test security on them make sure they are safe from other hackers. I helped to secure pistonheads if you live in UK you will know whats this website is.

YOu should real tutorial I wrote out when some one posted "I been hacked how?" Look at reply I posted there.


If you only talking about cracking then your title needs to change how not to get your account cracked or bruted

In no way shape or form I'm trying to diss you here or trying to flame your post.

I'm just pointing out facts that only thing having complex password would wok on is if you using bruteforcer and many forums you cant use it as they have whats called capcha its only on old sites bruteforcing goes on. all the latest forums and scripts have bruteforcing attack well secured.


Any ways not a bad points you wrote out some are very usefull like defender and maleware. you forgot to mention run anything you download in sandbox

Have a great Day

Peace
