[6] [7] A well-known example of a loader is a trainer used to cheat in games. [8] Fairlight pointed out in one of their .nfo files that these type of cracks are not allowed for warez scene game releases. [9] [6] [10] A nukewar has shown that the protection may not kick in at any point for it to be a valid crack. [11]
Just as with other components of a cryptosystem, a software random number generator should be designed to resist certain attacks. Some attacks possible on a RNG include (from [3]): Direct cryptanalytic attack when an attacker obtained part of the stream of random bits and can use this to distinguish the RNG output from a truly random stream.
According to the paper of Shacham et al., [13] the ASLR on 32-bit architectures is limited by the number of bits available for address randomization. Only 16 of the 32 address bits are available for randomization, and 16 bits of address randomization can be defeated by brute force attack in minutes. 64-bit architectures are more robust, with 40 ...
EternalBlue [5] is a computer exploit software developed by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). [6] It is based on a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows that allowed users to gain access to any number of computers connected to a network.
The first contest in 2007 [1] was conceived and developed by Dragos Ruiu in response to his frustration with Apple Inc.'s lack of response [8] to the Month of Apple Bugs and the Month of Kernel Bugs, [9] as well as Apple's television commercials that trivialized the security built into the competing Windows operating system.

One of the earliest and most notorious black hat hacks was the 1979 hacking of The Ark by Kevin Mitnick. The Ark computer system was used by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) to develop the RSTS/E operating system software. The WannaCry ransomware attack in May 2017 is another example of black hat hacking. Around 400,000 computers in 150 ...
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.
