Hacker Tracing and Reporting

Most intrusion attempts by hackers go completely unnoticed. The majority of Internet users, even those with adaquate protection, have no idea that their network is being probed and break-in attempts are occuring on a daily basis.

This lack of awareness feeds into the hacker's belief that he is anonymous and untraceable. Most victims only become aware hackers after they've successfully compromised their systems.

The truth of the matter is that hackers can be traced. The vast majority of break-in attempts can be traced to a specific IP address. Quite often this IP address belongs to an innocent party, who's machine has itself been hacked. Equally, the IP address might belong to a dial-up Internet Service Provider.

Barriers to Tracing a hacker:

  • Lack of victim awareness
  • Poor or non-existant logging at the victims site
  • Non co-operative Internet Service Providers

Steps you can take:

  • Install a Network Intusion Detection System (IDS)
  • Install Host based IDS on your exposed servers
  • Check your logs on you servers on a daily basis
