When such a love enters your life, it feels as though the universe aligns to bring two souls together. Every shared moment feels si...

 The following are the five phases of hacking: 1) Reconnaissance 2) Scanning 3) Gaining Access 4) Maintaining Access 5) Clearing Tracks 1) Reconnaissance:- is an initial preparation phase for the attackers to prepare for an attack by gathering information about the target prior to launching an attack using different tools and techniques. 2) Scanning:- is a pre-attack phase. In this phase, an attacker scans the network through information acquired during the initial phase of reconnaissance.  3) Gaining Access:- is when the hacker gains control over and Operating System (OS), application, or computer network. 4) Maintaining Access:- Phase is the point where an attacker tries t maintain access, ownership, and control over the compromised systems. 5) Clearing Tracks:- an attacker must hide identity by clearing or covering tracks. Clearing tracks is an activity that is carried out to hide malicious activities.
