What is Ethical Hacking? (7th Dec 24 at 10:26am UTC)
Ethical hacking, also known as white-hat hacking, is the practice of using hacking techniques to identify vulnerabilities in a system or network with the goal of improving security. Unlike malicious hackers (black-hat hackers), ethical hackers have explicit permission to test and identify weaknesses. Ethical Hacking Classes in Pune

Key Concepts:

Vulnerability Assessment: Identifying weaknesses or flaws in a system or network.
Penetration Testing: Simulating real-world attacks to test the security of a system or network.
Exploit Development: Creating tools or scripts to take advantage of vulnerabilities.
Post-Exploitation: Gaining control over a compromised system.
Ethical Hacking Phases:

Reconnaissance: Gathering information about the target system or network.
Scanning: Identifying open ports and services on the target system.
Gaining Access: Exploiting vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access.
System Access: Once access is gained, the attacker can explore the system and gather information.
Covering Tracks: Removing any evidence of the attack.
Key Tools and Techniques:

Nmap: Network scanning tool to identify open ports and services.
Metasploit Framework: A powerful penetration testing framework.
Burp Suite: Web application security testing tool.
Kali Linux: A Linux distribution designed for penetration testing.
Social Engineering: Manipulating people to gain access to systems or information.
Phishing: Deceiving people into revealing sensitive information.
Ethical Considerations:

Always obtain explicit permission: Never attempt to hack a system without authorization.
Respect privacy: Avoid accessing personal data or sensitive information.
Report vulnerabilities responsibly: Disclose vulnerabilities to the appropriate parties.
Follow legal guidelines: Adhere to local laws and regulations.
By understanding these basics, you can start your journey into the world of ethical hacking and contribute to a more secure digital landscape.
