For this article, we will continue to use the word hacker to describe someone who has broken into a computer in order to avoid confusion. The original definition is actually someone who likes to understand the internal workings of software, hardware, or an electrical device in order to modify it for their own purposes. In current times, the word hacker is more commonly known as someone who breaks into other's computers, websites, or software without permission. It is for these people, that I am writing this tutorial.īefore we continue, it is important to go over some basic information. Unfortunately, the vast majority of computer users have no idea how to go about determining if their computer is hacked. In the vast majority of cases there is a non-malicious explanation for these problems such as faulty hardware or problematic software, but it is better to be safe than sorry for not investigating deeper.
When something strange occurs on a computer such as programs shutting down on their own, your mouse moving by itself, or your CD constantly opening and closing on its own, the first thing that people think is that they have been hacked. One of the top questions I see on forums is "How do I know if I have been hacked?".
