What is the difference between blagging and phishing?
First you'd need to know each definition separately to differentiate and distinguish.
Blagging is to persuade someone in a clever or slightly dishonest way to allow you to do something or to give you something.
Phishing is simply cloning a legit site to fraudulently obtaining private information, often using email or SMS.
This two mentioned above are similar, and are both social engineering attacks, they convince, persuade, Spoof, etc. All sort of things possible just to make the victim feel safe and sure he/she's on the right and legit place.
The key difference between phishing and blagging, is that blagging is targeted towards one individual, whilst phishing is broader and hopes to get someone to bite.
How do the hackers hide their IP address while hacking?
I really just have to answer this question correctly because most answers here are incorrect!
Hackers don't use VPN, Socks, etc as claimed in most answers to hack, but script kiddies do!
Most hackers started from Rookie to Script Kiddies then advanced to a good, better, or advanced hacker.
A good hacker will not buy any VPN, socks just to hack and cover his tracks, because you know that you are not covering anything.
A good hacker will own or hack into different computers, servers, mobile phones, smart tv or any connected devices and place a hidden backdoor to allow undetected access back to the pawned system.
