AN ARTICLE PRESENT BY EMEKA ONYIA TITLED: “THE THREAT OF HACKER”



Hacking is a serious Cyber Crime, the early computer age little experienced cyber crime as it is rampant today. A lot of institutions are scared of these professionals’ scammers that engage in act of penetrating privacy of companies and individuals. It is a sad event in the society and jet age that computer usage has left the place of beneficiary to the society and turns into the means to victimizing the innocent citizens of the nation. The Cyber Crime in Nigeria as Nation is alarming compare to the other nations that are security fortified. I don’t know how to express the in burning desire to deal with hackers.

It might have happen to some of you whereby, your personal transaction are being shared with one criminal somewhere monitoring your movement to track down your resources online especially your bank details. If you have not been a victim of such, you can learn more from this article. Serious damaging is going on online but because of negligent, the innocent citizens are suffering the consequences. If hackers can be prosecuted and sentence to life imprisonment as an armed robber by the court of law, I think the rate of cyber crime will reduce in the society.  The innocent educated ones in Nigeria are duped online daily by these so called unscrupulous hackers without human conscience: good in diverting resources from people’s personal bank accounts.

As an ICT Accountant, recently I nearly became a victim of hacker if not that I am already equipped to detect and fish them out through their IP Address, In this article also I will give you step on how to detect Hacker and report them to appropriate authorities for further prosecution. I hate corruption and I will sacrifice everything to fight corruption as long as my nation Nigeria is concern. If hacking continues in the society: our Banking, communication and Government Institutional Fund is not safe because the real hackers target the government funds.

Now how can we detect the operation of these Hackers in our personal system and block them as well as report them to the appropriate authorities? Take the following steps to detect a Hacker in your system through the IP Address:

(1)   CLICK START FROM YOUR WINDOW START MENU
(2)   GO TO RUN
(3)   TYPE “COMMND”
(4)   CLICK OK

Then MS-DOS Command prompt will display with “C:\WINDOW\DESKTOP>”, the type “NETSTAT A- you will see options. Then choose from the option the one you want to view according to their details. Now I choose the first option which is –a to display all connections and listening port. Now I have to type it in “C:\WINDOW\DESKTOP>Netstat –a (this will show you all possible system connected to your computer). Look at the foreign IP addresses especially when you are online which the Hackers address is while the local address is the port number in your pc which they used to have access, if the state of the addresses is established: that means that whatever the foreign address says is currently connected to your computer.
Now the next step is to trace this hacker through the IP address, you do this with the software called Netlab, you can download it and install. Then, use it to get the hackers ISP (Internet Service Provider), report him to his ISP and also your own ISP with the details of IP Address you generated from Netlap as well as to the appropriate authorities.

Having established the above fact, they say prevention is better than cure, now proceed to install Firewall (you can download black Ice defender from www.networkice.com) on your system to filter network, protect shared files with password and run anti-Virus. I think I am done with the tip on how to track these hackers. And I am suggesting if there will be a strong team like EFCC to monitor Cyber Crime in Nigeria. Thanks
