Welcome to remote hacking Windows 10.
In this section and the next one, we're going to see how attackers use malware to take control of your
laptop, your desktop, your smartphone or other devices that have a computer inside them.
Now, malware is just short from malicious software, and it includes everything from viruses to Trojans.
Lots of different types of applications out there that are meant for an attacker to be able to take
control or to access your device without your permission.
Did you know that I'm almost half of users out on the Internet today?
Still don't use antivirus in some studies, that's been as low as one third, but an additional one
half or another third of those people don't use don't regularly update their antivirus.
So there are about half the machines to two thirds of the machines on the planet that are poorly protected
or under protected or completely unprotected when it comes to the malware that we're going to learn
how to create in this section.
So in this section, what we're going to do is use Metis Boit, a tool kit for ethical hacking to create
our own virus.
We're going to develop safely in our ethical hacking lab a piece of malware called a Trojan that will
give us remote access and remote control of a computer over the Internet.
So if you've ever thought that you don't need antivirus or that you don't need to keep your antivirus
up to date, this section in the next one will completely cure you of that notion.
We're going to see why it's important to have good antivirus software, good firewall, and to update
those regularly.
One warning we're going to share right now is make sure you never use this attack over the Internet
to a computer that you don't own control and have permission to test or to attack because this can land
you in jail.
It can break your local laws, federal laws, international laws, if you try to do this even as a prank
over the Internet.
This is we're going to use the real tools that hackers use to break into your information over the network
so that you can learn how to keep yourself safe.
But we're going to do it in our private hacking lab.
We're not going to send this out over the Internet to someone to try to get their information or steal
their data.
You're going to see that hackers can actually steal screenshots, your keystrokes.
They can even spy on you through your Web cam.
So it's really important that you take security seriously.
Use a good antivirus.
Be careful what you download on the Internet and and update your antivirus firewall and applications
often.
One of the questions that we sometimes get is why shows how to hack Windows 10?
Well, I'll just give you a quick example if you look out on the Internet.
This is at net market share.
You'll see that right now, Windows 10 is a little over half of the world desktop market.
You can see that we do still have some Windows seven machines out there in 2020.
We have a portion of the world using Mac OS.
If you've got Mac US 10, you've got somewhere around seven or eight, maybe up to 10 percent of the
total market share across all the different versions.
But there are a number of machines running older versions of Windows still out on the Internet.
Windows 10 just happens to be the most popular and the most current as of this recording.
So we're gonna use Windows 10.
If there are newer operating systems that take the lead over Windows 10 in the future will update the
course just like we're doing for this section.
So to do this, we're going to hack from our Kelly computer into our Windows 10 computer.
So we're gonna need both of those virtual machines.
We'll turn them on and get set up for Metis spoilt the hacker's tool kit in the next lesson.
