Ethical Hacking

Ethical hacking, also known as "white hat" hacking, refers to the practice of using hacking techniques to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in computer systems and networks for the purpose of improving security. Unlike "black hat" hacking, which is done with malicious intent, ethical hacking is carried out with the permission and knowledge of the system or network owner.

Ethical hackers, also known as "penetration testers," use a variety of tools and techniques to test the security of a system or network. This can include techniques such as network scanning, port scanning, vulnerability scanning, and social engineering. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the system or network that could be exploited by attackers, and to provide recommendations for improving security.

Ethical hacking can be used to test the security of a wide range of systems and networks, including web applications, mobile applications, databases, servers, and networks. It is often used by businesses and organizations to proactively identify and address security issues before they can be exploited by malicious hackers.

There are several reasons why ethical hacking is important. First, it helps to identify and fix security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by attackers. This can help to prevent data breaches, financial losses, and other types of cyber attacks. Second, it can help to improve the overall security posture of an organization, by identifying areas where security can be improved and providing recommendations for addressing those areas. Finally, ethical hacking can help to build trust with customers and stakeholders, by demonstrating a commitment to security and privacy.

Overall, ethical hacking is an important tool for improving the security of computer systems and networks. By proactively identifying and addressing vulnerabilities, organizations can help to prevent cyber attacks and protect sensitive data.

 

Ethical hacking Technique and tools.

First of all I would like to explain some points to understand to be a best hacker in the world.

What you know to hack? and how to hack ?

Some points you need to understand before start to hack. First you need to make focus on how to make secure of computer, server and network.

To become a best hacker and Network security engineer you need know and understand below points.

·        System Hacking

·        Network Scanning

·        Social engineering

·        Session Hijack

·        Web Server hacking

·        Wireless Network hacking

·        SQL Injection

·        Sniffing

·        Denial of Service

·        Fishing

·        Password Cracking Understand SAM File and System File

·        Cryptography  

·        Enumeration

·        Foot printing & Reconnaissance

·        Evading IDS, Firewalls and honeypots

·        Cloud Computing

·        Trojan & backdoors

Now I am going to explain about hacking technique, tools,  protocols and command which is very useful.

First point is going to explain about footprinting.

FOOTPRINTING :-

What is Footprinting ? What steps you should follow to gather information

I will discuss latter about footpring but going to list some information which help to gather information.

·        NSLOOKUP It helps to find the address range of network.

·        Whois

·        Hacking Tool : Sam Spade  - Analyze whois output

·        ARIN

·        TRACEROUTE

·        Hacking Tool : Neo Trace, Visual Lookout, Visual Route

·        Hacking Tool : eMailTracking Pro

·        Hacking Tool mailtracking.com

NETWORK SCANNING

Network scanning is very easy to understand and use but don’t do this in any other network. It’s illegal .so I can’t suggest it do .

You may see below protocol and tools to be use for network scanning.

Tools to be use to be use for scan and hack network :

·        HTTPort

·        Nmap :- port scan counter measure

·        Pinger

·        WS_Ping_Pro

·        HPING2

·        KingPing

·        Icmpenum

·        SNMP Scanner

·        Detecting ping sweeps ICMP Queries

·        IPEye

·        IPSECScan

·        HTTrack Web Copier Network management Tools Solar Winds Toolset

·        NeoWatch War Dialing

·        Cheops Proxy Server
