These are the some important steps taken by hackers

Information Gathering: 

First is recognition and foot printing ultimately can say information gathering that is the first step and very  important  in hacking. Can anybody tell If you have target and don’t know anything about that, can you hack??? No, that’s why information gathering is very important. Means first step is to gather as much information as much we can. So maybe we find any possibilities. Hacking is not magic And there is no proper tools. We have to work on vulnerabilities and bugs.

2. Scanning:  

In information gathering, we find all public records which already in public. In this step you want to gather more deep information. Scanning involves steps such as intelligent

System port scanning, which is used to determine open ports and vulnerable services

 After that gaining access. Suppose we found vulnerability. We say Wow, I got vulnerability now want to exploit that vulnerability. Gaining access is nothing but

Owning the  target system.

 3. Maintaining Access and Placing Backdoors:-

Suppose you find a vulnerability in Google, Google will not keep the vulnerability for a long time. So what you  have to do to make it attack for a long time??? We have to put some backdoors so whenever we want we can assess that thing. That is nothing but called maintain access.

4. Clearing Tracks:-

What is the main identity revealed when you are browsing the internet??? IP address?

There are 3 main identities that can rival or path  1. The IP address 2nd thing is much address and one more thing, is there. That is a very important thing your browser itself. Your browser, revealing what system you are using.These three things how can we hide ourself and be anonymous.

Now the last step is clearing tracks.: if anything about you is registered then how will you clear your records so they can’t trace you back.

So these are the five important phases of the hacking. A lot of guys from school’s and colleges. They don’t follow the proper steps.What they do they find a vulnerability and exit it.And after some times logs find on a server they easily get traced.After that they are behind the worse. So Be anonymous before doing the hacking.!
