/*DICTIONARY NOTE:i would like to thank k1ng for personally sending me an
acronyms list although as you would agree this dictionary isnt an acroyms
dictionary but a very comprehensive hacking dictionary.*/
Updated hacker dictionary.
READ THIS NOW!
To contribute to this dictionary email or
contact the group.
the main contributers so far are shady_harrasment_panda(wrote most of
it),k1ng(contributed some usefull words) and a acromyn list),
If u are viewing the text guide u can use the text seach box to search for an
word or u can use the coded search box on the html version.
I wasn't sure whether to include normal computer words so i made the dictionary
of words which are relevent to hackers!,but as the text gets larger i will
inlude more hacking words.
NOTE FOR HACKERS:this is an newbie version of the dictioanry with all the
common hacker words,for a 5MB dictioanry with harder words which are
harder to understand goto
This is a dictioanry on hacking words so if u read a hacking tutorial and
dont understand anything u will find the answer here,also i didnt include
words such as fdisk,486,intel,THIS IS NOT A COMPUTER DICTIONARY BUT A HACKING
DICTIONARY so if your using it to looking for a graphics word !it wont be
there.
Tip:for more adation words related to programming and networks try
www.whatis.com
Hacker terms info:over the internet there thousands of hacking tutorials freely
avalible,usally such texts have words in hacker slang which newbies fail to
understand.This dictioanry is trying to change that although i must admit as
being the main author i have a pretty big task a head of me to make it the
BEST and not nessisary the biggest hacking dictioanry ever!,i have came accross
lots of hacking dictioanrys but the biggest i saw was 5 Mb so over the next 3
months i am trying to make this dictioanry better than that one so with your
help email me and inlude your contributing.My aim is to inlude all
programming,networking,hacker slang and underground words.the biggest one i
saw was made by hundreads of ppl and useneters so if u want a challenge get
wriitng!>>>>
to make it better i have included irc slang,hacking guides,port numbers
e.t.c,also i promise u that this text is the best understandle hacker
dictioanry on the web so if u dont understand anything email me.
note:when i say the best dictioanry it doesnt have to be the most advanced but
the most easy to understand.Hackers will note this guide is more than a
dictioanry it has port numbers and all sorts of usefull info,also the guide is
split into different section,e.g dictionary section,irc section and www
section.
HACKER DICTIONARY beta vesrion 1.1
===================================
>.ACCESS:the ability to get into something or locate something on a network or
local machine.
>.ACCESS CODE:also known as login name or user id and password on a network
which reguires u to login.
>ACCESS PERMISIONS:this allows u to execute,read or change a file depending on
the permsion
>.ACCOUNT:your presence id on a computer system which allows u to
login.
>.ADAPTER:another name for an expansion card,usally most of them plug
into your expansion slots on your pc.
>ACTIVE X:a set of interacitve techonloiges devloped by microsoft,activex isnt
a programming language but it can be dangerous for website viruses.
>ACTIVE OPEN:a state in which TCP is attempting to initiate a connection.
>ADDRESS:a memory location.The value is often displayed as hexadecimal,mostly
to keep anyone but official pc postal employes from finding things on your
computer>every thing on your hard drive has a memory location.
>ADDRESS CLASS:a basic network of various sises.the network class can be
determend from the first octet of its ip address
>ADDRESS RESOULUTION PROTOCOL:the process of determining a MAC address, given a
more abstract LAN or WAN address.
Any protocol used to obtain a mapping from a higher
layer address to a lower layer address. Abbreviated ARP. The acronym ARP is
most often used to refer to the Ethernet Address Resolution Protocol (below).
The protocol used by an IP networking layer to map IP addresses to lower
level hardware (i.e., MAC) addresses. There are four ARP messages for IP
running over Ethernet: arp requests and replies and reverse arp request and
replies.
happens,usally admins are not nesscarry at fault if there hacked!
>ADSL:adsl(asymetic digital subscriber line):is a connection to the net were
users dont use dial up but have a connection 24/7 and usally have a static ip
address.
>ADA: Pascal-descended language that was at one time made mandatory for
Department of Defense software projects by the Pentagon. Hackers are nearly
unanimous in observing that, technically, it is precisely what one might
expect given that kind of endorsement by fiat; designed by committee,
crockish, difficult to use, and overall a disastrous, multi-billion-dollar
boondoggle (one common description wss "The PL/I of the 1980s"). Hackers find
Ada's exception-handling and inter-process communication features particularly
hilarious. Ada Lovelace (the daughter of Lord Byron who became the world's
first programmer while cooperating with Charles Babbage on the design of his
mechanical computing engines in the mid-1800s) would almost certainly blanch
at the use to which her name has latterly been put; the kindest thing that has
been said about it is that there is probably a good small language screaming
to get out from inside its vast, elephantine bulk.
>AGENT:A program that performs one or more services
(such as gathering information from the Internet), acting for or as a
principal.
>ADVANCED PEER-TO-PEER NETWORKING(APPN):An IBM
peer-to-peer networking architecture that uses interconnected Type 2.1 nodes.
APPN supports dynamic routing,directory searches, and network management.
>ADVANCED PROGRAM-TO-PROGRAM COMMUNICATIONS(APPC) SNA's standard program-to-program
communications
protocol. Sometimes the term APPC is used interchangeably with Logical Unit
Type 6.2 (LU 6.2).
ALERT:A problem determination message sent to a network operator within IBM's
network management system.
>ALOHA :A 4800bps Contention Based Radio Channel Transmission System Network used in the University
of Hawaii (1968 - 1972) and designed by Morman Abramson to connect the
university's mainfraim IBM 360 on the Island of Oahu and terminals plaaced
throught different ships and nearby islands. Data coming from the mainfraim
was sent to all other terminals while data from terminals was the
Contention-Based part and would re-send data if no acknowledement data was
received. VLAN : Virtual Local Area Network This is a network split into
workgroups by routers and each assigned a server. As any message sent will
have which workgroup it is aimed at, wokgroups not receiving messages can run
faster as traffic is reduced. Standards --------- Ethernet :
A Network standard that is a Contention-Based Network.
Ethernet evolved from a radio channel transmission system called ALOHA.
>ALT:is commenly known as a computer control key but in internet terms alt
is for connecting to newsgroups just like www is for connecting to the web.
>ALT.2600.hackers:is a newsgroup with about 200 posters and about 5000
lurkers,it is the group shady_harrasment_panda(writter of this dictioanryis a
member of.alt.2600.hackers has alot of very intellegent hackers in the group.
>ALTERNITIVE CLIENT RESTOREL:The process of restoring files to a different
client than the one from which they were backed up.
>.AMERICAL ONLINE(AOL):a large US owned internet service
provider company which mainly attracts newbies,aol has the stricted rules out
of all the isp ifu post to an hackers newsgroup they terminate your
account!,aol commenly attracks lamers!
>.ANTIVIRUS:a program which scans a users hard drive looking for known
viruses,worms,trojans,and joke files.
>AMIGA:A series of personal computer models originally sold by Commodore,
based on 680x0 processors, custom support chips and an operating system
that combined some of the best features of Macintosh and Unix with compatibility with neither.
The Amiga was released just as the personal computing world standardized on
IBM-PC clones. This prevented it from gaining serious market
share, despite the fact that the first Amigas had a substantial technological
lead on the IBM XTs of the time. Instead, it acquired a small but
zealous population of enthusiastic hackers who dreamt of one day unseating
the clones (see Amiga Persecution Complex). The traits of this
culture are both spoofed and illuminated in The BLAZE Humor Viewer. The
strength of the Amiga platform seeded a small industry of
companies building software and hardware for the platform, especially in
graphics and video applications (see video toaster).
Due to spectacular mismanagement, Commodore did hardly any R&D, allowing
the competition to close Amiga's technological lead. After
Commodore went bankrupt in 1994 the technology passed through several hands,
none of whom did much with it. However, the Amiga is still
being produced in Europe under license and has a substantial number of fans,
which will probably extend the platform's life considerably.
viruses,common virus scanners include norton and mcafee.
>AMP OFF:[Purdue] vt. To run in background. From the UNIX shell `&'
>ANSI; n. [techspeak] The American National Standards Institute. ANSI, along
with the International Organization for Standards (ISO), standardized the C
programming language (see K&R, Classic C), and promulgates many other
important software standards. 2. n. [techspeak] A terminal may be said to be
`ANSI' if it meets the ANSI X.364 standard for terminal control.
Unfortunately, this standard was both over-complicated and too permissive. It
has been retired and replaced by the ECMA-48 standard, which shares both
flaws. 3. n. [BBS jargon] The set of screen-painting codes that most MS-DOS
and Amiga computers accept. This comes from the ANSI.SYS device driver that
must be loaded on an MS-DOS computer to view such codes. Unfortunately,
neither DOS ANSI nor the BBS ANSIs derived from it exactly match the ANSI
X.364 terminal standard. For example, the ESC-[1m code turns on the bold
highlight on large machines, but in IBM PC/MS-DOS ANSI, it turns on `intense'
(bright) colors. Also, in BBS-land, the term `ANSI' is often used to imply
that a particular computer uses or can emulate the IBM high-half character set
from MS-DOS. Particular use depends on context. Occasionally, the vanilla
ASCII character set is used with the color codes, but on BBSs, ANSI and `IBM
characters' tend to go together.
>ANGLE BRASKET: Either of the characters `<' (ASCII
>ANTIONLINE:is one of the many comprehensive securirty firms on the net which
specialises in exploits,news,and hacker related things.www.antionline.com
>.API(aplicatio program interface):defines a standard way that programs work
with pull down menu's,dilogue boxes e.t.c,windows and OS/2 are examples of api
in action.
>.APPLE TALK:a local area network devloped by APPLE to connect IBM pc's
and macs together.
>APPLET:a HTML based program built with java that a browser tempory downloads
to a users disk.
>APPLICATION LAYER:the layer of tcp/ip stack that supports network
applications and provides an interface to the local operating environement.
11.ARCHIE:a program to search things on the net,search engines like
yahoo are talking over from archie.
>APACHE:is a webserver used by almost 60
per cent of the web sites market that runs on windows,macs,and unix.
.>APP:
Short for `application program', as opposed to a systems program. Apps are
what systems vendors are forever chasing developers to create for their
environments so they can sell more boxes. Hackers tend not to think of the
things they themselves run as apps; thus, in hacker parlance the term excludes
compilers, program editors, games, and messaging systems, though a user would
consider all those to be apps. (Broadly, an app is often a self-contained
environment for performing some well-defined task such as `word processing';
hackers tend to prefer more general-purpose tools.) See killer app; oppose
tool, operating system.
>.APPLE SHARE:a network o/s devloped by apple to work with other macs,like
win nt and win ME are desined to work the together.
>ARCHIE:a client/server program that is used to locate files on anonymous ftp.
>.ARCHIVE:a place with important files on the net.
>AREA CODE:area code is the
code for a phone number for ppl accesing it outside the city,dial up hacking
or connecting to your isp involves uses an area code.
>.ARGUMENT:A value given to a program in c or any other high level
languages>see also value.
>.ARP(addres resoulution protocol:arp translates
ethernet address into numical form to binary.all o/s support arp by typing arp

>APRAnet(advanced research projects agency network)is
a denfence agency network created by defense department of the USA known now
as da-apra
>ARM(application response measurement):
>.ARRAY:a collectiong of similar info such as codes,text or other
items.All items are usally of the same type,used in programming.
>.ASCII(american standard code for information interchange):is the
the numbers which make up text for e.g the code 52 would be the number 4
>ASCII ART: n. The fine art of drawing diagrams using the ASCII
>ASM(asembly language):is a low level program language which is used for
writting small programs and can be used to write viruses.Assembly Languages have
the same basic structure as Machine Languages, the
difference is that Assembly Languages allow the programmer to use names
instead of numbers.
As with Machine Languages, every CPU has its own unique machine language.
Programs must be rewritten or recompiled, therefore, to run on different
types of computers.
Nowadays most programming is done with High-Level Programming Languages but
in the early days, Assembly language was always used, now it is ONLY used when
speed is essential or when the task isn't possible on the High-Level Language
we are using.
These are considered Low-Level Languages as they are closer to Machine
Languages.
>ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSFERE METHOD:A connection-oriented data
communications technology based on switching 53 byte fixed-length units of
data called cells. Abbreviated ATM. Each cell is dynamically routed. ATM
transmission rates are multiples of 51.840 Mbits per second. In the United
States, a public communications service called SONET uses ATM at transmission
rates of 155, 622, 2048, and 9196 Mbits per second. These are called OC-3,
OC-12, OC-48, and OC-192 respectively. A similar service called SDH is offered
in Europe. ATM is also used as a LAN infrastructure, sometimes with different
transmission rates and coding methods than are offered with SONET and SDH.
>AT&T:american phone company there are also the makers of unix,at&t owns the
bells lab which wrote unix and c.
>AUTHENTICATION: A security measure for verifying the identity of
network users.

DOS box, a networked Windows system not uncommonly blanks the screen and locks up the
PC so hard that it requires a cold boot to recover.
This unhappy phenomenon is known as The Black Screen of Death.
>BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH:is when a windows machine crahses or gets nuked and
shows the blue screen which shows that an error has occured.
>BLUE BOX(not a hacker term but i will mention it): Once upon a time,
before all-digital switches made it possible
for the phone companies to move them out of band, one could actually hear the
switching tones used to route long-distance calls. Early phreakers built
devices called `blue boxes' that could reproduce these tones, which could be
used to commandeer portions of the phone network. (This was not as hard as it
may sound; one early phreak acquired the sobriquet `Captain Crunch' after he
proved that he could generate switching tones with a plastic whistle pulled
out of a box of Captain Crunch cereal!) There were other colors of box with
more specialized phreaking uses; red boxes, black boxes, silver boxes, etc. 2.
n. An IBM machine, especially a large (non-PC) one.
>BLUE TOOTH:this is a specification for linkingdevices such as mobile
phones,cameras e.t.c to computers over a short range wireless connection.
advertising e.t.c but its not a user but is known as a bot.

LU-LU half sessions. Brackets delimit bi-directional data flows for
transactions.
>BRIDGE:a connectivity device that fowards data based on physical networks.
>BROUTER:a connectivity device that routes routable protocols and bridges non
routable protocols.
>BROWSER:A program specifically designed to help users view and navigate
hypertext, on-line documentation, or a database. While this general sense has
been present in jargon for a long time, the proliferation of browsers for the
World Wide Web after 1992 has made it much more popular and provided a central
or default techspeak meaning of the word previously lacking in hacker usage.
Nowadays, if someone mentions using a `browser' without qualification, one may
assume it is a Web browser.
>BRUTE FORCE:to try thousand of differnt passwords on a login prompt or on a
password protected file.

network the signal just keeps boucing, causing a crash of all the network.
The Bus network is a peer to peer network and had no dedicated server.
>BUS NETWORK:is a network where all computers are connected through a hub and
each computer usuall has a network interface card.

easy to learn for c programmers.
>CCC [Chaos Computer Club]:A hacker-organisation in Hamburg. They have
meetings, lectures and annual congresses which attracts hackers from all
Europe. They also publish books and magazines about the information society.
There are a lot of myths of which kind of criminal activities they have been
involved in, so it's hard to say which of them is true and which are not.
>C SHELL:is a shell similar to the bash shell but it is more like the c
langauge on a command promt.

>CHECKSUM:a 16 bit calculated field used to ensure detection of currupted
datagrams.
>CHERNOBYL PACKETL:A network packet that induces a broadcast storm and/or
network meltdown, in memory of the April 1986 nuclear accident at Chernobyl in
Ukraine. The typical scenario involves an IP Ethernet datagram that passes
through a gateway with both source and destination Ether and IP address set as
the respective broadcast addresses for the subnetworks being gated between.
Compare Christmas tree packet.
CIRCLE:This is also a simple setup and poses most of the same problems as the
bus NET. Basically, it is just a Bus NET with the two spare ends connected to
each other. The main differences between this and the Bus NET is that, each
computer acts as an amplifier to the signals passed along it (Active). There
is also another communication method used here called token passing. This
consists of a token passing along the network, when a computer wishes to pass
on information, it will be attached to the token the it will travel round the
network until it finds its destination,. The destination will then pick it up
copy it and send a new token into the network. If the information in a Circle
NET does not find its destination, then it will go in a complete circle and
return to the sender with a message, reporting the problem. This type of
topology is very similar to the Bus NET with the same drawbacks and the same
advantages
>CLUSTER CONTROL:The common name given to SNA Type 2.0 Peripheral Nodes.
Usually used to refer to 3270-type control units.

3720, 3705, and 3704.
>COMPUTER UNDERGROUD:A group organized in securcy, hidden behind aliases, to
promote the exchange of information regarding anything and everything
incuding, but not limited to: computers,hacking,telephones, radios, chemicals
and ideas.
>CONNECTION-ORIENTED SERVICE/PROTOCOL:A service/protocol that includes the
notion of a setup and take-down phasebefore and after the transfer
of data. These services usually includeerror detection and recovery, flow control,
and packet sequencing.
>CONNECTION SERVICE/PROTOCOL: A service protocol
that does not include the notion of a setup or take-down phase before and
after the transfer of data. Each message, commonly called a datagram, is sent
as a separate entity.
>COSMOS)the complimaentry metal-oxide semiconductor):is a battery powered
memory chip which is in the motherboard,it usally stores the bios password and

initiation. The original source data is used to satisfy read requests for both
the source data itself and for the unmodified portion of the point in time
copy. cf. pointer remapping
>Contention-Based Network :
Network that sends a limited amount of data and holds other data in a queue until it s ready
to send it. The name means, that all data being sent is competing or
contending for bandwith. The ALOHA Radio system in 1968 was based on this.

>CSMA/CD:the network method used by ethernet networks.
>CYPER PUNK:Since 1990 or so, popular culture has included a movement or
fashion trend that calls itself `cyberpunk', associated especially with the
rave/techno subculture. Hackers have mixed feelings about this. On the one
hand, self-described cyberpunks too often seem to be shallow trendoids in black
leather who have substituted enthusiastic blathering about technology for
actually learning and doing it. Attitude is no substitute for competence. On
the other hand, at least cyberpunks are excited about the right things and
properly respectful of hacking talent in those who have it. The general
consensus is to tolerate them politely in hopes that they'll attract people
who grow into being true hackers.

that lies dormant waiting for some condition(s) to occur. See daemon. The
distinction is that demons are usually processes within a
program, while daemons are usually programs running on an operating system. 2.
[outside MIT] Often used equivalently to daemon -especially in the Unix world, where the latter spelling and pronunciation is
considered mildly archaic.
Demons in sense 1 are particularly common
in AI programs. For example, a knowledge-manipulation program might implement
inference rules as demons. Whenever a new piece of knowledge was added,
various demons would activate (which demons depends on the particular piece of
data) and would create additional pieces of knowledge by applying their
respective inference rules to the original piece. These new pieces could in
turn activate more demons as the inferences filtered down through chains of
logic. Meanwhile, the main program could continue with whatever its primary
task was.

>Fragmentation scanning : This is not a new port scanning method in and of
itself, but a modification of other techniques. Instead of just sending the
probe packet, you break it into a couple of small IP fragments. You are
splitting up the TCP header over several packets to make it harder for packet
filters and so forth to detect what you are doing. Be careful with this! Some
programs have trouble handling these tiny packets. My favorite sniffer
segmentation faulted immediately upon receiving the first 36-byte fragment.
After that comes a 24 byte one! While this method won't get by packet filters
and firewalls that queue all IP fragments (like the CONFIG_IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAG
option in Linux), a lot of networks can't afford the performance hit this
causes. This feature is rather unique to scanners (at least I haven't seen any
others that do this).
>FTP(file transfere protocol)is a serivice which runs on port 21 an allows
users with valid accounts to login and upload files and download files.
>FTP BOUCE ATTACK: An interesting "feature" of the ftp protocol (RFC 959) is
support for "proxy" ftp connections. In other words, I should be able to
connect from evil.com to the FTP server-PI (protocol interpreter) of
target.com to establish the control communication connection. Then I should be
able to request that the server-PI initiate an active server-DTP (data transfer
process) to send a file ANYWHERE on the internet! Presumably to a User-DTP,
although the RFC specifically states that asking one server to send a file to
another is OK. Now this may have worked well in 1985 when the RFC was just
written. But nowadays, we can't have people hijacking ftp servers and
requesting that data be spit out to arbitrary points on the internet. As
*Hobbit* wrote back in 1995, this protocol flaw "can be used to post virtually
untraceable mail and news, hammer on servers at various sites, fill up disks,
try to hop firewalls, and generally be annoying and hard to track down at the
same time." What we will exploit this for is to (surprise, surprise) scan TCP
ports from a "proxy" ftp server. Thus you could connect to an ftp server
behind a firewall, and then scan ports that are more likely to be blocked (139
is a good one). If the ftp server allows reading from and writing to a
directory (such as /incoming),

105.HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGE:is a program language which can almost be written in
english
High Level Languages are closer to Human Languages, and because of this, they
are easier understood, easier written, easier maintained and adjusted.
The problem with High-Level Programming Languages is that they lack slightly in
speed compared to the lower languages, the reason for this is that the Compiler
has to convert the High-Level code into Machine Language before the computer
reads it and follows the instructions.
The first of these languages started to emerge around the 1950's and there are
now tons of them around like Pascal, C and C++.

>ICMP echo scanning :This isn't really port scanning, since ICMP doesn't have a port abstraction.
But it is sometimes useful to determine what hosts in a network are up by
pinging them all. the -P option does this. ICMP scanning is now in parallel,
so it can be quite fast. To speed things up even more, you can increase the
number of pings in parallel with the '-L ' option. It can also be helpful to
tweek the ping timeout value with '-T '. nmap supports a host/bitmask notation
to make this sort of thing easier. For example 'nmap -P cert.org/24
152.148.0.0/16' would scan CERT's class C network and whatever class B entity
152.148.* represents. Host/26 is useful for 6-bit subnets within an
organization. Nmap now also offers a more powerful form. You can now do things
like '150.12,17,71-79.7.*' and it will do what you expect
