            Different Types Of Hacking 

* DNN: - Dot Net Nuke method also called Portal Hacking.

* SQL INJECTION - The most common and dangerous kind of attack.It is a code injection technique that exploits a security vulnerability in some computer software.An injection occurs at the database level of an application (like queries).

*
JAVASCRIPT INJECTION - Javascript Injection is a facility by which we can insert our own javascript codes into the websites,either by entering the code into the address bar, or by finding an XSS(Cross site Scripting) vulnerability in a website.It is generally used in spoofing too.

*
SPOOFING ATTACK - A spoofing attack is a situation in which one person or program successfully masquerades as another by falsifying data and thereby gaining an illegitimate advantage.

*
PHISHING - Phishing is a way of attempting to acquire information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.

*
CROSS SITE SCRIPTING - Cross-site Scripting (XSS) is an attack technique that involves echoing attacker-supplied code into a user's browser instance.

*
MAN IN THE MIDDLE ATTACK - It is a form of active eavesdropping in which the attacker makes independent connections with the victims and relays messages between them, making them believe that they are talking directly to each other over a private connection, when in fact the entire conversation is controlled by the attacker.

*
DNS POISONING - It is a security or data integrity compromise in the Domain Name System (DNS). The compromise occurs when data is introduced into a DNS name server's cache database that did not originate from authoritative DNS sources.

* DOS ATTACK - It is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users.
