Understanding Hackers

Our security guru, Jeff Crume, frequently refers to "the bad guys", which you might might assume is synonymous with hackers. But that's arguably an incomplete definition, as "white hat" hackers are a force for good in security circles. In this video, Jeff presents the types of hackers and then provides a taxonomy of the motives, skills and techniques that define them. "Know your enemy" is the first step of defense, and in the case of hackers, it will help inform your security strategy.

I would like to thank to IBM Technology Team for their Videos, they are very educative and explanatory to us.

This guy deserves an award from the IT and cybersecurity community! I love his Carl-Sagan-ish way to divulgate the information. 🤩

[@jeffcrume]

I’m truly humbled to be compared even in some small way to Sagan 😊

[@aruizsilva]

You are a very good communicator. Thanks!

[@jeffcrume]

Fantastic content, as a 3rd year cybersecurity student, I'm enhancing my knowledge and understanding thanks to your videos. Very clear and concise, also analogies you using are spot on. Thank you for being a good guys. 💪👍

[@jeffcrume]

Thanks for the positive feedback, Tio! So glad you are finding the content useful

[@donasaha1936]

[@jeffcrume]

Thank you for the kind complements!

[@brocode3974]

Excellent contents ❤

[@linegenevievemichaud6739]

Thank you for the presentation. I am glad you brought up the psychology of these guys referring to the black hat hacker. Sociopath/criminal I strongly agree.

[@jeffcrume]

So glad you liked it!

[@neail5466]

I believe, Knowing yourself should be the priority.

[@malibu188]

Very lucid presentation of a multifaceted problem. Battlefield strategy sounds wise.

[@gmanonDominicana]

I experienced in the past, not anymore, websites with an offensive security that would attack users who fit some criteria such as having port 80 running, or Linux as operating system. Also at one point, social media used to have cyber warriors very offensive. I believe those people made use of software to run their attacks and even as a form of defense base more on fear than on real potential threads.

[@melaacademy1872]

Question: how and what is needed to film with the screen and neon colors like this?

[@techgeek6773]

thanks a lot and keep going

[@jeffcrume]

Many more to come!

[@never_give_up944]

Well presented and highly informative. Please do more, especially revamping the IBM courses on Coursera which have been complete garbage.

[@pauliusnarkevicius9959]

Does ISO/IEC 27005:2022 includes words like "Hacker" (what would be his motivation in comparison to more bad-n-strong terms)? Title could be stating a "Bad Hackers" instead of "Hackers". If there around exists a lot of material for teaching "Hacking", then probably You Right!

[@LemonadetvYT]

Thumbs up for this person that has to write everything backwards in his view

[@IBMTechnology]

Search on "lightboard videos"

[@jeffcrume]

Thanks for the complement but I have to confess that I can barely write frontwards (as you can see from the poor handwriting). They flip the image in the post production process and make it all come out nice in the final product

[@LoveYourFamily2]

I wouldn't describe them as 'enemies'. In time, they could become our defenders, or co-workers. If we weren't so extremely bad at making them our friends.

[@dennisdalogdog7018]

Sir Good day to you.. I'm Dennis From the Philippines and I'm interested about that Cyber Security Course,, you're course u offered sir is affordable,, but I'm not sure to avail that course because I have no enough money to pay that.. Hopefully, soon you Reply my message to you.. Thank you very much.. Glory to god

How can I get away from the hackers?

[@vijithkumar]

ELITE

[@krizziaoro9174]

I have a cyber stalker!!!!! It happened to me!!! Where do I start? How do you stop them?

[@krizziaoro9174]

If it’s on the rise, people who cyber stalk and put spyware and malware on your devices where and who do you go to? It’s illegal right? If it’s on the rise what do you recommend to do???

[@jeffcrume]

Yes, it’s illegal in most places that I know of but discovering it can be difficult as is discovering who is behind it and, therefore, who to prosecute can be even more challenging. The best defenses I know of are to keep strong passwords/biometrics on mobile devices, don’t download software from untrustworthy sources, don’t click on links unless you know what they are going to do, keep up to date with all patches and keep physical possession of your devices

[@krizziaoro9174]

Do you know how to unhack your own phone? A guy is obsessed with me and stalking me on my phone. I’ve bought so many phones and he keeps hacking them. I also think he has my entire wifi hacked. Where do I start to get rid of him?

[@luislopes806]

I have this question: How can we implement the decentralization of data in entrepreneurs? And if so, would we be helping to protect our data?

[@jeffcrume]

Not sure I understand the question. Can you restate? (BTW, I have a Data Security 101 video recorded that should publish in the next few weeks)

[@sakshipriyadarshini3264]

@@jeffcrume nope bad idea companies are more secure

[@luislopes806]

Hacker: is a person who uses computers to gain unauthorized access to data. The Cyber Stalker: is someone who puts some sort of malware, some sort of spyware, or maybe in your phone, your computer, your tablet. And then they are able to look at all your activities. How can I defend my electronic devices against this type of hacker (Cyber Stalker)?

[@Stopinvadingmyhardware]

You have to factory reset it. Those are shittiest people I have even met. They’re usually stealing from you and doing far worse.

[@jeffcrume]

Taking care not to download apps from other than the official App Store for the platform helps (but is no guarantee). Keeping a strong password/biometric to unlock the device can help keep someone from installing stalkerware when you aren’t in physical possession as well.

[@JhinguBaba]

Stalkers are Criminals and Accidents are only attributed to goodies(Warriors and Hacktivists). Unwarranted commandments.

[@FlorD3Lot0444]

Cyber stalked 😢

[@MaipuruSyrup]

Calling people performing malicious cyber activities "hackers" isn't really fitting anymore, it should really have it's own exclusive term as hackers is used in a very generalised term nowadays whereas something like "attacker" gets the point across better. What if I make my gameboy do something that it wasn't originally designed to do? I could call myself a hacker. And what if I modify the html of a webpage to respell something? I am a hacker. I install linux programs on the terminal? Hacker. I cut down shrubbery? Hack.
