How have hacking tools changed in the past year? How will these methodologies impact future technology?
Tools are more advanced. In my day, I used a simple sniffer that dumped everything to a text file and flagged passwords. Now you have tools like Ettercap and Cain & Abel that do all sorts of crazy things. Anti-forensics are more advanced and more widely used, and you even have viruses that install an antivirus to destroy other viruses on the system. But, overall, technique hasn’t changed much: Find a hole, exploit it in any way possible. Like any system that builds on itself, technology will evolve. But like any complex system, it will always be vulnerable to something.
