Intro of Ethical Hacking :
Ethical hacking involves a licenced attempt to access a computer system, application or data unlawfully. Ethical hacking is the duplication of malevolent attackers' techniques and actions. The main advantage of ethics is the prevention of data stolen or misused, and the: discovery of weaknesses from the POV of an attacker to remedy weakness. An ethical hacker also called a white-hat hacker is an information security (infosec) Expert, who, on behalf of its owners and with its permission, breaches a computer system, network, app and other computer resources.
Implementing a secure network that prevents security breaches :
- Social Engineering & Phishing
- Malware-Injecting Devices.
- Missing Security Patches
- Cracking Passwords.
- Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS)
An individual who targets Linux systems could be referred to with a red hat hacker. However, red caps were marked as watchful. Like white hats, red hats try to disarm black hats, but the methods of the two groups differ considerably. Blue hat hackers are security experts who work outside the company. Companies often urge you to test the new software before it is published and uncover security problems. So some blue hats are called blue hat hackers from Microsoft.
In contrast to a script kiddie, the green hat hacker is a hacker beginner, yet he is keen to excel. Also known as a novice or "noob," this is a hacker who is new in the realm of hacking and often flakes because he has little or no knowledge of the web's inner workings. Purple Hat Hacker is a Hacker who tests himself/herself on their PCs. They can buy a PC or they can use an old PC to hack another PC to see that how they are good at cybersecurity and hacking. This is a very good cybersecurity practice for anyone.
- One should know how to do hacking work, like a computer science engineer who encrypts the world. And we must stand up against cyber criminals to protect our world.
- An ethical hacker finds or reports weak areas or gaps in a computer, web applications, or network.
- If the password is not present in the input password file it will say the password is not found, this happens only if buffer overflow doesn’t occur. This type of attack can be considered a dictionary attack. Below is the implementation. Let’s suppose the text file containing a list of passwords is password.txt.
Ethical hacking Roles and Responsibilities :
Find open ports and take action to prevent any attacks. To ensure their effectiveness and reinforcement, evade intrusion preventive systems, intrusion sensor systems, firewall, and honeypots.
- Meeting with clients to discuss the security system currently in place.
- Researching the company's system, network structure, and possible penetration sites.
- Conducting multiple penetration tests on the system.
- Identifying and recording security flaws and breaches.
The required skills of ethical hacking :
People believe that “hacking” means to hack any website within a minute. This concept is derived from viewing films, therefore they do not even know what to do or what to hack the original core concept. Networking skills are one of the main abilities for becoming an ethical hacker. The computer network is only the interconnection of several devices, commonly known as hosts connected to data or media through multiple pathways. Understanding networks like DHCP more will provide ethical hackers to explore the various interconnected computers in a network and the potential security threats that this might create, as well as how to handle those threats.

The tools of an ethical hacking
Nmap stands for Network Mapper. It is an open-source tool that is used widely for network discovery and security auditing. Initially, Nmap was meant to scan vast networks, however for individual hosts it can perform equally effectively. It is equally valuable to network administrators for activities like network inventory, service upgrade schedules and host or service uptime monitoring.
It is one of the most powerful exploit tools. It’s a product of Rapid7 and most of its resources can be found at: www.metasploit.com. It Will in two versions − commercial and free edition. Metasploit can be used with the command prompt or with Web UI.
- Burp Suite is a popular platform that is widely used for performing security testing of web applications. It offers several tools that enable the whole testing process, from initial mapping and analysis of the attack surface of an application through research and exploitation security vulnerabilities.
- Angry IP scanner is a lightweight, cross-platform IP address and port scanner. The IP address can be scanned in all areas. It can be copied and used freely everywhere. In order to boost the scanning performance a multi-thread technique is used in which a different scanning thread for each IP address is established.
- Cain & Abel is a useful tool for security consultants, professional penetration testers, and everyone else who plans to use it for ethical reasons.
- Ettercap stands for Ethernet Capture. It is an on-the-middle network security technology. It contains sniffing of live connections, fly content and many more tricks. Ettercap has network and host analysis features integrated. It promotes active and passive protocol dissection. On pop-in systems like Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, you can run Ettercap and passive dissection of many protocols. On pop-in systems like Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, you can run Ettercap.
- EtherPeek proactively sniffs traffic packets on a network. EtherPeek supports protocols such as the NetWare, TCP, UDP, NetBEUEI, and NBT Package, by default, such as AppleTalk, IP, IP Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).
- SuperScan is a powerful tool for network administrators to scan TCP ports and resolve hostnames.
- QualysGuard is an integrated suite of tools that can be utilized to simplify security operations and lower the cost of compliance. It gives vital safety intelligence upon request and automates the whole range of IT systems and online applications auditing, compliance, and protection.
- WebInspect is a web application security assessment tool that helps identify known and unknown vulnerabilities within the Web application layer.
- LC4 was formerly known as L0phtCrack. It is a password auditing and recovery application. It is used to test password strength and sometimes to recover lost Microsoft Windows passwords, by using a dictionary, brute-force, and hybrid attacks.
- LANguard Network Scanner monitors a network by scanning connected machines and providing information about each node. You can obtain information about each operating system. It can also detect registry issues and have a report set up in HTML format. For each computer, you can list the NetBIOS name table, current logged-on user, and Mac address.
- Network stumbler is a WiFi scanner and monitoring tool for Windows. It allows network professionals to detect WLANs. It is common to network enthusiasts and hackers since it helps you to identify wireless networks that do not broadcast.
Framework of Ethical hacking :
An ethical hacking is someone who has been hired to penetrate an organization's networks using the same knowledge and tools as a malicious hacker, but lawfully and legitimately.
1. Planning :
Good planning is key to a successful and productive ethical hack. The planning phase influences how the test is performed, the sorts of information gathered, and how it is to be collected. These in turn will impact the type of advice given and how the results are to change the current security program.
2. Reconnaissance :
A phase often missed out as it involves using publically available information. Nevertheless, as the video shows it can provide vital information.
3. Vulnerability Analysis :
Enumeration identifies a series of possible entry points. This section involves using the information, first to identify those that are most likely to result in a successful attack and then second, the planning the actual hack itself.
Integration Modules of Ethical Hacking :
Finally, there must be some means of using the test results for something productive. Often, the deliverable is combined with existing materials, such as risk analysis, security policy, previous test results, and information associated with a security program to enhance mitigation and develop remedies and patches for vulnerabilities.
- If vulnerability beyond acceptable risk was found, then it would need to be fixed. Mitigation of a vulnerability can include testing, piloting, implementing, and validating changes to systems.
- Vulnerabilities need to be addressed strategically to minimize future or undetected vulnerabilities. Defense planning is establishing a foundation of security to grow on and ensure long-term success
- The ability to detect, respond, and recover from an attack is essential. Knowing how attacks are made and the potential impacts on the system aid in formulating an incident response plan. The ethical hacking process provides an opportunity for discovering the various weaknesses and attractive avenues of attack of a system that can aid in preventing future attacks.
Certification of Ethical Hacking :
Due to the controversy surrounding the profession of ethical hacking, the International Council of E-Commerce Consultants (EC-Council) provides professional certification for Certified Ethical Hackers(CEH). A certified ethical hacker is an ethical hacker who has obtained the certification provided by the EC-Council. As of August 2008, the certification is in Version 6.
Benefits of Ethical hacking :
It helps to fight against cyber terrorism and to fight against national security breaches. It helps to take preventive action against hackers. It helps to build a system that prevents any kind of penetration by hackers. Ethical hacking offers security to banking and financial establishments.
- To recover lost information, especially in case you lost your password.
- To perform penetration testing to strengthen computer and network security.
- To put adequate preventative measures in place to prevent security breaches.
