However, the following hack you will see is related to a fiber optic network connection and not to CAT5x or CAT6x network cables that are considered unsafe.

The hack does not require you to log in to , το δίκτυό σας ή οποιεσδήποτε εξωτερικές πηγές για να πραγματοποιηθεί. Απλά "πηδάει' σε ένα "σύρμα" οπτικών ινών, ανοίγει το Wireshark, και μυρίζει από μακριά τα μυστικά σας.

Ο Kevin Mitnick δείχνει σε λιγότερο από πέντε λεπτά το πώς θα μπορούσε να πάρει τον έλεγχο του δικτύου σας, πως "σετάρει" μια παράνομη σύνδεση, πως "μυρίζεται" το δίκτυο σας, πως αρπάζει τους ς πρόσβασης, πως έχει πρόσβαση στα e-mail, πως "πιάνει" οτιδήποτε κυκλοφορεί "στο σύρμα" χωρίς κρυπτογράφηση, και πως εξαφανίζεται μέσα σε λίγα λεπτά, χωρίς κανείς να καταλάβει τίποτα.

Although not obvious from the video, the material it uses is fiber optic clip-on coupler. It's not designed for the purpose Kevin Mitnick uses, but it works and that's just the "beauty" of being a hacker: You use hardware and software in creative ways to get the information and results you want.

The video shows how easy it is to intercept on-the-wire conversations, even if the cable is a fiber optic cable.

Στην τυπική καλωδίωση εξακολουθεί να είναι ακόμα πιο εύκολο να αξιοποιήσει κάποιος την ευπάθεια χωρίς να κόψει τα καλώδια, απλά χρησιμοποιώντας "κροκοδειλάκια" για να συνδεθεί στα καλώδια.

However, if someone wants your data badly, they can quickly connect a double-ended cable to a small hub and collect all the data they want. Your cord cutting is not for a thief and yes he will.

Kevin Mitnick explains in the video that to protect yourself you should use encrypted connections for everything you do online. These include email, chat, web , some remote connection, basically for everything.

Take a few minutes to watch the video below we uploaded to our YouTube channel just for you.
