Many users I ‘ve seen who thought hacking is all about cracking the password from code!! And they don’t know some times its all not about the password. Cookie stealing is the second most used trick by attacker to get access to desired victim’s account . Cookie stealing can be done with many ways but here I am trying to give you some useful trick to save yourself from being hacked with this kind of situation because as always prevention is better than cure..
This are the basic tips which can save you from normal cookie stealing tricks..
- Don’t use anonymous Java Scripts. What ever they claim to do. Many people I ‘ve seen fallen in this trick. Attacker using some social engineering and force user to believe on the script and when user going to run the script from the other side the cookie will be transferred to desired location and attacker can use it to gain access to victim’s account.
- Use latest and updated browsers I prefer Mozilla Firefox with no script add-on. Which can give you alert where ever this kind of attack can be done .
- If you don’t know JavaScript, then don’t use scripts from www.userscripts.org and other sites like it.
- Sometimes Attacker can used with some of XSS(click to know more about xss) and can grab your cookies no script add-on can save you there.
- Its not necessary that it only can grab with use of java script it can be with some malicious codes better not no use of unknown or suspicious sites.
Include the above scripts to your browsing habits and you can save yourself from normal attack of cookie stealing..
Happy Browsing…
