Because CrackAid makes only byte patches, and more and more programs require
loader files or TSR to crack them, I have chucked together a tinpot program
called CALOAD.

Apologetic New Bedford hacker gets 4-year jail sentence cam0
He goes by the online monikers “cam0,” “Freak,” and “leetjones.” But you might know him as the guy who hacked Burger King’s Twitter account, to claim the fast-food chain was bought by its rival McDonald’s. He is also known as the guy who hacked Paris Hilton’s phone and publicly posted racy photos of the socialite.
On Monday, 25-year-old Cameron Lacroix apologized for his crimes, telling a federal judge that he recognized the seriousness of what he thought was innocuous computer hacking. Lacroix pleaded for mercy as he was about to be sentenced for computer fraud.
“My actions let a lot of people down,” Lacroix told US District Court Senior Judge Mark L. Wolf.

Early Phishing
Koceilah Rekouche krekouche@pushstart.info
The history of phishing traces back in important ways to the mid-1990s when hacking
software facilitated the mass targeting of people in password stealing scams on America
Online (AOL). The first of these software programs was mine, called AOHell, and it was
where the word phishing was coined. The software provided an automated password
and credit card-stealing mechanism starting in January 1995. Though the practice of
tricking users in order to steal passwords or information possibly goes back to the
earliest days of computer networking, AOHell’s phishing system was the first automated
tool made publicly available for this purpose. 1 The program influenced the creation of
many other automated phishing systems that were made over a number of years. These
tools were available to amateurs who used them to engage in a countless number of
phishing attacks. By the later part of the decade, the activity moved from AOL to other
networks and eventually grew to involve professional criminals on the internet. What
began as a scheme by rebellious teenagers to steal passwords evolved into one of the
top computer security threats affecting people, corporations, and governments.
1993: Mosaic – first graphical web browser for the general public
The first widely downloaded Internet browser, Mosaic, was released in 1993. While Mosaic wasn’t the first web browser, it is considered the first browser to make the Internet easily accessible to non-techies.
1991: First web page created
1991 brought some major innovations to the world of the Internet. The first web page was created and, much like the first email explained what email was, its purpose was to explain what the World Wide Web was.
CGI Resource Index
It wouldn’t be right talking about websites from the 90s that had “-Resources.com” in the title without talking about CGI-Resources.com – another one man operation which was run my another famous Matt, Matt Wright. CGI-Resources was THE website to visit once your you had matured past the geocities free hosting phase, and wanted to add some power to your pages (namely cgi scripts). Matt also.....
NetBus
NetBus or Netbus is a software program for remotely controlling a Microsoft Windows computer system over a network. It was created in 1998 and has been very controversial for its potential of being used as a backdoor. NetBus was written in Delphi by Carl-Fredrik Neikter, a Swedish programmer in March 1998. It was in wide circulation before Back Orifice was released, in August 1998. The.....

ABSTRACT
Organizations invest heavily in technical controls for their Information Assurance (IA) infrastructure.
These technical controls mitigate and reduce the risk of damage caused by outsider attacks. Most
organizations rely on training to mitigate and reduce risk of non-technical attacks such as social
engineering. Organizations lump IA training into small modules that personnel typically rush through
because the training programs lack enough depth and creativity to keep a trainee engaged. The key to
retaining knowledge is making the information memorable. This paper describes common and emerging
attack vectors and how to lower and mitigate the associated risks.
KEY WORDS
Security Risks, Phishing, Social Engineering, Cross Site Scripting, Emerging Attack Vectors, DNS poising.
1. INTRODUCTION
Phishing is a social engineering technique that is used to bypass technical controls implemented
to mitigate security risks in information systems. People are the weakest link in any security
program. Phishing capitalizes on this weakness and exploits human nature in order to gain access
to a system or to defraud a person of their assets.
