Why learn to hack when you can just phish?

The IRS is calling and you'll lose your free iPad unless you send a cheque to Nigeria.

People are so stupid that it shouldn't be called phishing - it should be called catching. I saw someone the other night who had replied on Facebook to one of those shared things where people are apparently entertained by "I bet you can't figure out what 1+1+1+1*2=, 95% of people get this wrong." Except, the one she responded to was, "I bet you've forgotten the name of the street you grew up on." I tried to politely tell her the reason her Facebook account has been "hacked" multiple times is that she's naive. Then I reminded her that the "secret question!" to recover her Facebook page in the case she forgot her password is... the name of the street she grew up on. There were thousands of shares and replies on that post.


How to brute force attack a 25 character password on social media websites:
A) Brute force their secret answers to recover their account instead, since that's a couple orders of magnitude easier.
B) Just ask the idiot for the answer to their secret question. They set up their account more than 1 month ago, so have forgotten that the question has relevance to their security.

This is why I hate sites that have the sstupid secret answers thing. Though never realized that's what those posts were for... kinda brilliant. I always put gibberish in those questions, but some sites will randomly prompt for it when you login, so that forces you to have to put something you'll remember or at least something you keep track of. I usually just put those as a separate password in my password manager. Don't want to use the same password in case the security questions arn't hashed (they probably arn't).
 
I might actually check this out, I imagine a course like this is not going to make you an "expert hacker" but probably lays down a good foundation you can then learn more from. It's one of those things I was always kind of interested in but never really pursued much.

One thing though that has really been more on my mind latetly is not so much my own network security, but personal security. We live in a world where you can't trust ANYONE, that includes the companies that require your info for you to be able to do business with. Companies like Amazon will just hand out your info to any random party that pretends to be you, for example. There's probably things you can do to protect yourself, like use different emails for each service, or maybe even a different name.

A scary one is the Bell sim card trick. Anyone can call in pretending they are you, and request that your service is put on a different sim card. Boom, they basically have your phone.

People need to remember their answers though. So what's actually happened is that for the people who think they're clever by not actually answering the secret question with an honest answer - research has shown that their fake answers are even easier to guess.

I just make a separate password, then put that along with my main password in my password manager. It makes it annoying though as some of those sites will randomly prompt for those questions when you login. For the ones that don't do that, then I just put a bunch of gibberish.

I setup my whole family on 2FA because half of them fall for stuff like this all the time. 2FA Gmail, 2FA Facebook, etc. So at the very least there's SOME measure of protection against naivety 😛
 
I've always kinda wondered how to "hack." As I understand it, a lot of it is social engineering (phishing being one example of this). But like I said, I don't know much about it. Maybe I'll check this course out. I have no interest in breaking into anything, but I'm genuinely curious about how people hack into systems.
