Hacking Techniques in Wired Networks

Nowadays, wired networks, especially the Internet, have already become a platform to support
not only high-speed data communication, but also powerful distributed computing for a variety
of personal and business processes every day. However, the principles for designing and
developing a network mainly targeted at providing connection and communication capabilities,
until a series of security “disasters” happened on the Internet recently as shown in Figure 1. As a
result, without making security an inherent part of the network design and development process,
existing networks are very vulnerable to cyber attacks because of various security vulnerabilities.
Such vulnerabilities, when being exploited by the hacker, can motivate the development of a
variety of hacking techniques. These hacking techniques directly lead to cyber attacks; and these
cyber attacks have become a more and more serious threat to our society.Download PDF now.
