Hacker/Cracker Incidents

Responding to hacker/cracker incidents is somewhat different than responding to a worm or virus incident. Some hackers are very sophisticated and will go to great depths to avoid detection. Others are naive young students looking for a thrill. Hacker incidents can be divided into three types: attempts to gain access to a system, an active session on a system, or events which have been discovered after the fact. Of the three, an active hacker/cracker session is the most severe and must be dealt with as soon as possible. There are two methods for dealing with an active hacker/cracker incident. The first method is to immediately lock the person out of the system and restore the system to a safe state. The second method is to allow the hacker/cracker to continue his probe/attack and attempt to gather information that will lead to an identification and possible criminal conviction. The method used to handle a cracker/hacker incident will be determined by the level of understanding of the risks involved.
