Why hackers succeed?

Problems are often fixed only after exploited.

Many companies hire hackers.its a big business for many consultants and many believe in “security in secrecy” and hackers & crackers enjoy this challenge.

Role of government/forensics

Search, Seizure, and Analysis of Computers: currently, the government can seize any computer ... if there is “sufficient” evidence of criminal use. equipment can be seized indefinitely. computer forensics are needed to analyze seizures: hard drives (deleted files) cracking encryption keys internal “wear and tear” indicating usage patterns requires significant training/research

Preventive measures for hacking

The most popular method of protection against hacking home systems is to have an antivirus soft ware.

Firewalls act as a deterrent to hacking by protecting private networks from public.

Have the system backup.
