How are hackers able to find such complicated exploits?
In: Technology
Usually they aren’t complicated.
Think of a house. It has 2 formal doors to get in or out. There are windows. There might be a secret basement that you get to from the backyard. But how do you get into the house? You could just be invited in. You could falsify a profession that gets you in. You could observe, notice they throw huge parties where no one can possibly know everyone, and you act like you’re someone’s friend in there.
Now for the seemingly more complicated stuff: imagine someone has a huge house that they keep building and improving. They probably use blueprints for different parts of it. Now there are soooooo many doors and windows you could get in through. You could probably buy or even just find out common weakpoints in such a cookie cutter house online. At that point you’d just need to research all of them and try all of them.
…Or just go the easy route and have someone invite you in.
