=Intro=

Hey, Im D1551D3N7. I'm doing all my new articles on this page as I can't create pages and I will not accept an editor position until I trust myself with it . I'll do my best to be comprehensive :)

=My Personal To-Do List=

*Finish Glossary and Abbreiviations.
*Be active enough to trust myself to be an editor
*Create wanted pages to the best of my abilities and add more content to existing pages.

=Keyloggers=

A keylogger is a program that records a persons keystrokes and send the logs of those keystrokes back to the the hacker by either email of FTP. Good keyloggers also detail what program the keystrokes were typed into.
Note to self: Use stuff from my keylogger tutorial: http://hacksociety.net/Thread-Keyloggers-The-Complete-Tutorial

=Google Dorks=

Google dorks are search terms created to look for vulnerable websites using Google. They usually use the "inurl:" "intitle:" and "intext:" [http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators.html search operators]. They are commonly used for web applications that exploits have been found in already and to find sites with the vulnerable version of that software.

*Inurl searches for sites with the text after the colon (:) in their url. eg inurl:index.php?page= will get result websites like http://www.example.com/index.php?page=76

*Intitle searches for sites with the text after the colon in their page title. eg intitle:FuBar_V2.0 will bring up websites with FuBar_V2.0 as the page title.

*Intext searches for site containing the text after the colon within the text. eg intext:Email_Administration_Panel_V3.0 will get results with that in the page.

=Cybercrime=

Cybercrime is a crime which involves the use of the computers, mobile phones, or any form of electronic device over the internet.
[[Computer Forensics]] are used to collect incrimination data for use in court or by law enforcement, enforcing [[cyberlaw]]
