VIRUS : (vital information research under siege) unlike real world viruses these are malicious codes or program written by a programmer that uses the vulnerabilities as loop holes to enter into a system or network.once they enter into a system.or network they rapidly expand and ultimately effect disastrously .the system configuration itself tends to act as a fuel,so once entered unnoticed then
BEWARE you are a victim,
WORMS:these are some what like viruses but not exactly similar,the fact that worms become too dangerous due to the nature of self propagating.it does not need external source for itts propagation.
they are used to monitor your computer and systems and steal vital data from your computer.
TROJANS : they are used to steal data bases,crash systems,make use your vulnerabilities against you
BOTS:bots are powerful program,that enters your computer and makes your computer a zombie.
in short your system becomes a puppet in the hands of hackers ,this could sometimes freeze your system launch appliations and can do what ever the hacker likes.
did you know??
the very first worm that was created was MORRIS worm,as at that time no anti-virus could detect this new species of malware.it went viral ,and possibly caused a damage of several millions.
two most powerful bots ever used are zeus bot and spyeye bot,they are known to have effect the white house systems and caused a heavy damage
it was a visual c++ program you if want to study the code then it is available over GITHUB(all the files neessary).
in my later posts i will discuss some techniques on "how to hack".....
catch you later :)
