Phishing : The Gateway to the Dark Internet - Understanding Risks and Prevention

'Phishing' - The Gateway Of Dark Internet



Introduction

Phishing is the process of creating a duplicate of any website to gain unauthorized access to user data. It enables hackers to access victims' personal information, account details, device information, location, IP address, and more. In some cases, they can even capture the victim's image and eavesdrop through the microphone.

Main Body

The term "phishing" was first recorded in 1995 in the cracking toolkit AOHell, although it may have been used earlier in the hacker magazine 2600. The term is a variation of "fishing" and refers to the use of lures to "fish" for sensitive information.

Phishing involves duplicating websites unethically and converting them into what is known as a phishing link. A phishing site may appear similar to the legitimate site, but there are often subtle differences for copyright purposes.

How It Works

Initially, a hacker creates a phishing site and sends the link to the victim. When the victim clicks the link, their IP address is sent to the hacker. If the victim grants permission for their camera, microphone, and location, the hacker can access this information. If the phishing site is a login page and the victim enters their username and password, the hackers can capture this data.

How to Stay Secure

  1. Never click links from unknown sources.
  2. Be cautious when clicking on links that seem suspicious.

How to Recognize a Phishing Link

To check if a link is a phishing link, follow these steps:

a. First, copy the link and open the terminal on your Android device.

b. Type the following commands:


apt install w3m
w3m <link>

If the screen is blank, it may indicate that the site is a phishing link.

c. Then type the following command:



ping <link>

If the IP address of the site is secure, it is likely not a phishing link.

Why You Should Think Twice Before Connecting to Any Wi-Fi Network In our hyper-connected world, Wi-Fi has become a necessity. From coffee shops to airports, public Wi-Fi networks are everywhere, offering the convenience of internet access on the go. However, this convenience comes with significant risks. Connecting to any Wi-Fi network without proper caution can expose you to various cybersecurity threats. Here’s why you should be selective about the Wi-Fi networks you connect to. 1. Risk of Data Interception One of the biggest risks of connecting to an unsecured Wi-Fi network is data interception. Cybercriminals can easily intercept the data transmitted over these networks. This means that any information you send or receive, including passwords, personal information, and credit card details, can be captured by malicious actors. Public Wi-Fi networks are particularly vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, where an attacker intercepts and possibly alters the communication betw...
