Hackers usually use social engineering to gain most of their knowledge. Social Engineering is the act of getting someone to tell you about sensitive information through trust. This unadulterated trust becomes a weakness for most companies.

Brute Force, Exploit and dictionary attacks are usually started through the use of software on the hacker’s computer. To avoid detection, the hacker’s may use proxies or zombie machines so that their location cannot be determined. This is just a small list of the different attacks hackers can use.
