Mostly, the HackThisSite IRC network serves as a social gathering of like-minded people to discuss anything.

  3. Penetration test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetration_test

    A gray box penetration test is a combination of the two (where limited knowledge of the target is shared with the auditor). [6] A penetration test can help identify a system's vulnerabilities to attack and estimate how vulnerable it is. [7] [5] Security issues that the penetration test uncovers should be reported to the system owner. [8]

  4. Brute-force attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_attack

    An example of this is one-time pad cryptography, where every cleartext bit has a corresponding key from a truly random sequence of key bits. A 140 character one-time-pad-encoded string subjected to a brute-force attack would eventually reveal every 140 character string possible, including the correct answer – but of all the answers given ...

  5. Network encryption cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_encryption_cracking

    Network encryption cracking is the breaching of network encryptions (e.g., WEP, WPA, ...), usually through the use of a special encryption cracking software. It may be done through a range of attacks (active and passive) including injecting traffic, decrypting traffic, and dictionary-based attacks .

  6. Hardware Trojan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_Trojan

    The signature may consist of any number of data outputs from the chip: an entire scan chain or intermediate data result. In a Trojan-detection context, DFT logic may be regarded as an encryption algorithm: using the DFT input as key to sign a message derived from the behavior of the design under test.

  7. Network security - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_security

    Network security is involved in organizations, enterprises, and other types of institutions. It does as its title explains: it secures the network, as well as protecting and overseeing operations being done. The most common and simple way of protecting a network resource is by assigning it a unique name and a corresponding password.

  8. Security hacker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_hacker

    A security hacker or security researcher is someone who explores methods for breaching defenses and exploiting weaknesses in a computer system or network. [1] Hackers may be motivated by a multitude of reasons, such as profit, protest, information gathering, [2] challenge, recreation, [3] or evaluation of a system weaknesses to assist in formulating defenses against potential hackers.

  9. Password cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_cracking

    In cryptanalysis and computer security, password cracking is the process of guessing passwords [1] protecting a computer system.A common approach (brute-force attack) is to repeatedly try guesses for the password and to check them against an available cryptographic hash of the password. [2]
