Recognizing Your Attacker

There is a misconception among many that the individuals who attack on different networks are teenagers or these attacks are due to social misfits. But according to many experienced persons, these persons are the representatives of a very small number of the various groups of criminals perpetrating e-crimes both outside and inside the organizations. These criminals may commit the-crimes for fulfilling their own objectives or hired by others for providing service.

The persons who can be external intruders are as follows:

1. Crackers who are "sophisticated." These persons develop as well as use technological tools that provide illegal access to the network of an individual or an organization. These persons either work in groups, personally or on hire for someone or any deceptive organization. These are very dangerous ones because after achieving their landmark, they anonymously distribute their tools visa the internet. They distribute the tools for masking their organization either by using the tools or by exploiting the victim.
2. "Cookbook" crackers. These are persons who have lacking in knowledge, ability and skill on how to create and use intrusion tools that are "sophisticated." But these persons seek the tools and then launch attack.
