Cyber criminals make use of various tools and techniques, yet the following are the most common tools and techniques used recently to conduct cybercrimes: Buffer Overflow: The condition when a program or process tries to store more data in a buffer (temporary data storage area) than it was intended to hold. Since buffers are created to contain a finite amount of data, the extra information which has to go somewhere can overflow into adjacent buffers, corrupting or overwriting the valid data held in them. Cracking: Cracking is breaking into someone else's computer system, often on a network; bypassing passwords or licenses in computer programs; or in other ways intentionally breaches computer security. A cracker can be doing this either for profit, or maliciously, or for some altruistic purpose or cause. Data Diddling: Involves altering the raw data just before a computer processes it and then changing it back after processing is completed. Malware: A program that is inserted into a system, usually covertly, with the intent of compromising the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the victim's data, applications, or operating system or of otherwise annoying or disrupting the victim. Phishing: Using spoof E-mails or directing the people to fake web sites to deceive them into divulging personal financial details so that criminals can access their accounts. Rootkit: A set of tools that enables continued privileged access to a computer, while actively hiding its presence from the administrator. Typically, a cracker installs a rootkit on a computer after first obtaining user-level access, either by exploiting a known vulnerability or cracking a password. Once the rootkit is installed, it allows the attacker to mask intrusion and gain root or privileged access to the computer and, possibly, other machines on the network. Salami Attack: A programmed attack which is implemented in small (meant to be unnoticeable) increments. This attack involves making alteration so insignificant that it is easily concealed and would go completely unnoticed. Attacks are used for commission of financial crimes. Sniffer: A program and/or device that monitors data traveling over a network. Sniffers can be used both for legitimate net-work management functions and for stealing information off a network. Unauthorized sniffers can be extremely dangerous to a network's security because they are virtually impossible to detect and can be inserted almost anywhere. Social Engineering: A hacker term which involves non-technical intrusion for deceiving or manipulating unwitting people into giving out information about a network or how to access it. Spoofing: Refers to a situation in which the incoming information from an attacker is masqueraded as one that appears to come from a trusted source to the recipient or to the recipient network. Often the messages from the fraudster appearing to be from a genuine source (like bank), seeks personally identifiable information to perpetrate fraud on the victim. Spyware: It is a type of malware that is secretly or surreptitiously installed into an information system to gather information on individuals or organizations without their knowledge; a type of malicious code. Steganography: The art and science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one, apart from the sender and in-tended recipient, suspects the existence of the message An image file may contain hidden messages between terror groups, which will be known only to the intended recipient and the sender. Trojan: A malicious program that masquerades as a benign application and can take complete control of the victim's computer system. Virus: A self-replicating program that runs and spreads by modifying other programs or files. Worm: A self-replicating, self-propagating, self-contained program that uses networking mechanisms to spread itself. Zombie: A program that is installed on a system to cause it to attack other systems. AI-Driven Phishing: AI-generated phishing emails, messages, or websites that are highly convincing and targeted. Deepfake Attacks: AI-generated fake audio, video, or images used for social engineering, extortion, or reputation damage. Botnets with AI: AI-powered botnets that can learn, adapt, and launch more sophisticated attacks. AI-Powered Chatbots: AI-driven chatbots that can engage in convincing conversations, tricking victims into divulging sensitive information. AI-Powered Voice Phishing: AI-generated voice calls that mimic legitimate individuals or organizations to trick victims.
