CONCEALING YOUR IDENTITY
Concealing
you true identity during the processes like footprinting and scanning is very much
necessary as there is a real chance of the target tracing back to you. Some of
the methods that you can employ to conceal your identity are discussed below.
Using a Proxy
A
proxy server can be used to conceal your real IP address while performing
scanning and hack attempts on the target. Since the IP address tells everything
about you, concealing it using a proxy can be highly effective in hiding your
origin.
Even
though there are different types of proxies available, I recommend using a VPN proxy
service to hide your IP address. VPN services are fast and provide reliable
ways not only to hide your IP address but also to protect your data and
identity over the Internet.
Here
are a few popular VPN services that you can try:
Alternatively you can also use a chain of public proxies to
further enhance your stealth operation using free tools like Proxifier and
SocksChain. Please note that using public proxies can slow down your speed
and hence VPN proxies are more recommended as they best serve the purpose.
The other way to hide your identity is by using online tools for
pinging and scanning the target. During the use of online tools, the IP address
of the server hosting the tools is exposed to the target and not the one that
belongs to the actual attacker.
Once you have gathered a long list of information about the target
through footprinting and scanning, it is time to analyze them for possible vulnerabilities in the
operating system, technologies or services running on the target. You can
make use of the following
websites to find information
about latest vulnerabilities and exploits:
What's hurts more, the pain of hard work or the pain of regret?
