Teroris Komputer Ajarkan Cara Menghadapi Penyusup

Ia bisa menemukan nomor jaminan keamanan mantan presiden AS, George Bush senior dan nama kecil ibunda Leonardo DiCaprio dalam waktu kurang dari 15 detik. Dan kemampuan seperti inilah yang membuatnya menjadi buruan FBI selama tiga tahun karena ia menyusup ke perusahan-perusahaan terbesar di dunia.

Dia adalah "teroris komputer" Kevin Mitnick, salah satu hacker paling terkenal di dunia. Ia menjadi begitu populer setelah berhasil menjebol jaringan dan mencuri software di perusahaan-perusahaan seperti Sun Microsystems dan Motorola.


Kini Mitnick, berasal dari AS, tidak lagi melakukan pekerjaannya dahulu. Ia lebih banyak berkeliling dunia untuk mengajarkan pada perusahaan-perusahaan bagaimana mencegah orang-orang seperti dia menyusup dalam jaringan mereka.

Menurutnya, walau teknologi mutakhir bisa membantu jaringan aman dari virus, namun itu tidak ada gunanya bila hacker bisa membujuk karyawan sebuah perusahaan untuk membocorkan password, entah dengan berbagai cara.

"Hacker biasanya mencari lobang dalam firewall (sistem perlindungan) manusia," kata Mitnick dalam konferensi keamanan teknologi informasi hari Rabu (8/3) di Afrika Selatan. "Apakah lubang terbesar dalam keamanan? Jawabannya adalah keyakinan berlebihan bahwa sistemnya tidak mungkin ditembus."

Social enggineering - sebutan para hacker untuk mengelabuhi orang-orang - adalah senjata utama Mitnick untuk menembus sistem-sistem paling canggih di dunia. Itu dilakukannya dengan membujuk karyawan-karyawan - tanpa mereka sadari - agar membuka informasi rahasia perusahaannya.

Mitnick, yang kini berusia 40-an, mulai menjebol sistem-sistem telepon saat berusia belasan, sebelum akhirnya beralih ke komputer. Namun menurutnya ia tidak pernah mencuri uang atau menimbulkan kerusakan yang parah. Ia melakukan aksinya hanya untuk kesenangan semata.

Hobby itu akhirnya menjadikannya sebagai salah satu orang yang paling dicari FBI. Ketika akhirnya tertangkap, ia harus mendekam selama lima tahun di penjara AS tahun 1990-an.

Ketika dilepaskan, Mitnick dilarang menggunakan internet. Oleh karenanya ia kemudian menulis dua buku mengenai hacking dan mendirikan sebuah perusahaan konsultan keamanan IT.

Kini perusahaan-perusahaan yang rahasianya dahulu dia curi, membayar Mitnick untuk menyusup ke sistemnya guna menguji sejauh mana keamanan yang sudah diterapkan.

Menurut Mitnick, cara kerja hacker tidak selalu berhubungan dengan teknologi. Mereka lebih mirip agen rahasia yang menyelidiki perusahaan dan para karyawannya. Hacker kadang-kadang harus mengamati hobby targetnya dan berbaur agar lebih mudah mendapat rahasia.

Dan buruknya, banyak perusahaan seringkali menganggap remeh kemampuan hacker dalam mencuri informasi penting - seperti nomor SIM, nomor jaminan sosial, dan nama kecil ibu - data-data yang seringkali digunakan bank atau perusahaan lain untuk mengecek konsumen.

Untuk membuktikan hal itu, Mitnick mempraktekkan cara menemukan nomor jaminan mantan Presiden George Bush, serta nama kecil dan nomor SIM ibu akto Hollywood Leonardo DiCaprio dalam waktu kurang dari 15 detik.

"Hal ini mudah saja dilakukan karena pada dasarnya orang merasa telah melakukan kebaikan dengan membantu orang lain mendapat informasi, kecuali bila orang itu telah ditipu sebelumnya atau seorang yang paranoid," katanya.

Oleh karena itu, menurut Mitnick, perusahaan harus waspada terhadap hacker yang pandai berbicara dengan memperingatkan bahaya ini pada karyawannya, mengembangkan kebijakan sederhana terhadap perlindungan data, dan menerapkan teknologi paling baik yang setidaknya akan membuat hacker harus lebih berusaha.

"Ini bukan berarti kita menjadi paranoid, tapi ini mengenai kewaspadaan," katanya

Download Resource Hacker 3.4.0

ResHacker is a tool for modifying 32 bit applications, DLL, OCX and SCR files. You can "edit" applications by changing dialogs, changing or removing graphics and even removing certain application functionality. I was amazed of the things it can do. There are a lot of tutorials online about how to use this tool so I won't go into too much detail describing how it works. Instead I would like to emphasize what it can do.

I first used this program for modifying the language of my Windows menus. To do this I opened the "explorer.exe" file from the Windows installation directory. I was able to modify all the dialogs making them say whatever I wanted. Another time I wanted to change the icons of an application which I used. No problem, ResHacker did the job perfectly. I realized that I could also modify bitmaps, menus, string tables, shortcut keys (they're called accelerators), version info and so on.

ResHacker can be used to modify almost any file. Compressed executables are not fully editable and many times all you can edit is version information. Whenever you modify a file you do it on your own risk. You'll lose all right to support from the vendor associated with the modified application. Most times there won't be any problems after modifying with ResHacker (I never had any problems) but to be on the safe side you should test the modified application thoroughly.

China launches new generation Internet


With the launch of the first backbone network of the next-generation Internet in China, the country is expected to dramatically narrow its gap with the world's leaders, officials and experts said.

Eight departments of the Chinese Government announced on Saturday in Beijing that CERNET2 was going into formal operation.

"We were a learner and follower in the development of the first generation Internet, but we have caught up with world's leaders in the next-generation Internet, become a first mover, and won respect and attention from the international community," said Wu Jianping, director of the expert committee of the China Education and Research Network (CERNET) and a mastermind in the development of the next-generation Internet in China.

CERNET2 is the biggest next-generation Internet network in operation in the world and connects 25 universities in 20 cities. The speed in the backbone network reaches 2.5 to 10 gigabits per second and connects the universities at a speed of 1 to 10 gigabits per second.

A trial on CERNET2 between Beijing and Tianjin on December 7 achieved a speed of 40 gigabits per second, the highest in the world in real applications.

CERNET2 is also the first network based on pure Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) technology, one major characteristic between the current Internet and the next-generation Internet.

One big benefit of the IPv6 is to solve the problem of shortage of IP addresses.

In the current Internet based on IPv4 technology, the United States controls 74 per cent of 4 billion IP addresses, while the amount that China has is only equal to a campus of the University of California, despite its 80 million Internet users.

That is a major reason why Asian countries, especially China, Japan and South Korea, are showing strong interest in IPv6 technology.

The National Development Reform Commission (NDRC) set up a China Next-generation Internet (CNGI) fund of 1.4 billion yuan (US$169 million) to support six next-generation Internet networks. Half of them will be used on CERNET2-related projects. The rest of the money was given to five telecom operators.

The ministries of science and technology, information industry also have funds in related projects.

Zhang Ling, a member of Wu's committee, said 25 universities also contributed 5 million yuan (US$604,000) each to the CERNET2 project.

Gong Jian, a regional head of CERNET2 in the Southeast University in Nanjing, pointed out that if an IPv4 address has a weight of one gram, the weight of all IPv4 addresses is one 76th of the Empire State Building in New York, but the weight of all IPv6 addresses will be equal to the 56 times that of the earth.

He said most of the 25 universities connected applied for Slash48 IPv6 addresses, which are almost limitless for current needs.

CERNET2 coverage is expected to expand to 100 universities soon.

Xu Qin, deputy director general of the department of high-tech industries with NDRC, said he believed that progress in the development of CNGI will bring huge benefits of national economy and increase the country's competitiveness in national defence, economy, science and technologies.

In CERNET2, half of the key equipment, including routers, was provided by Chinese telecom equipment giant Huawei Technologies and Tsinghua Bit-Way.

Zhang said the Chinese equipment has a much higher cost-performance ratio and is very strong in applications, so its future will be very good.

Huawei has already become one of the strongest competitors to Cisco, which achieved prosperity with the Internet and has a dominant position in related technologies.
