Summary
3. 1968: E.W Dijkstra develops MULTICS (Multiplexed
Information and Computing Service) in the Netherlands
1969: Bell telephone (AT&T) lab researcher Ken
Thompson developed a new system using MULTICS as
part of a team. His coworker Brian Kernighan dubbed it
UNICS (UNiplexed Information and Computing
Service). It was later changed to UNIX.
Milestone: The UNIX operating system was born.
4. 1969-1973: Bell Telephone researcher Dennis Richie
develops the C language as a systems programming
language for UNIX.
1970s: UNIX versions 6 and 7 were developed, first in
B and Assembly than C. Originally for academic use,
later sold to vendors.
1987: A Unix-like system based on microkernel design
known as MINIX was developed.
Milestone: C language developed.
5. 1980s-1990s: The “UNIX Wars” occur, vendors
struggle to standardize UNIX.
1991:Linus Torvalds developed a new operating system
called Linux, which is similar to MINIX.
1990s-Today: Various UNIX and UNIX/Linux-like
distributions are released, such as: GNU, OS X,
Debian, and Ubuntu.
Milestone: Linux was born.
6. 2006: Linux distribution BackTrack was released by
Offensive Security. It becomes the definitive Penetration
Testing platform available.
2012: The final BackTrack version, Backtrack 5 R3, is
released.
2013: Kali Linux, a.k.a. BackTrack 6, is released by
Offensive Security.
Milestones: BackTrack is born, then Kali.

11. Kali Linux is an advanced Penetration Testing
and Security Auditing Linux distribution
(distro). Named after a Hindu god.
It was designed to replace the BackTrack
Linux distro.
A Linux distro is a operating system based off
the Linux kernel.
Think Windows NT and all the Windows
distributions (XP, Vista, 7, 8, etc.)
Linux is itself based off the UNIX kernel.
UNIX > Linux > BackTrack > Kali.
12.
13.
14. It is FREE!!!!!
300+ applications, from password crackers to
digital forensics software.
Vast wireless device support (ARM processors).
Completely Customizable.
Multilingual Support.
Secure Development Environment.
Open source Git tree.
Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) Compliant.
Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG) secure signed packages
and repos.
15. Switched from Ubuntu to Debian.
FHS and Debian compliant.
Can now bootstrap and customize Kali ISOs.
Streaming security and package updates from
Debian.
Expanded ARM development.
16. Easy upgrade to future versions.
Customizable desktop environment.
Automatable Kali Installations.
Streamlined Development Process.
Long Term Tool Packaging and Maintenance.
18. Via Physical Media Via Digital Media
Burn to a live disk,
insert into disk drive,
install.
Format a flash drive,
install Kali Linux on it,
insert into a computer,
at BIOS screen select
boot from USB.
Download VMware or
other similar software,
create a virtual machine,
download and install Kali
Linux onto virtual
machine.
Use a Preboot eXecution
Environment (PXE) to
install and boot Kali
Linux from a
server/client network.
19. Bell Telephone (AT&T)’s UNIX > Linus
Torvalds's Linux > Offensive Security’s Linux
Distribution BackTrack > Kali Linux a.k.a.
BackTrack 6.
Kali is the premier operating system for
Penetration Testing and other related uses.
Kali was built from the ground up to replace
BackTrack.
There are many platforms and installation
methods that are Kali-compatible.

22. Introduction
Ethical Hacking
Hackers
Types of Hackers
Hacking Process
Why do We need Ethical Hacking
Required Skills of an Ethical Hacker
23. What do hackers do after Hacking?
Advantages
Disadvantages
Future Enhancements
Conclusion
24. Ethical hacking also known as penetration testing or
white-hat hacking, involves the same tools, tricks, and
techniques that hackers use, but with one major difference that
Ethical hacking is legal.
Ethical hacking, is legally breaking into computers and
devices to test an organization's defenses.
25. Independent computer security Professionals breaking into the
computer systems.
Neither damage the target systems nor steal information.
Evaluate target systems security and report back to owners
about the vulnerabilities found.
26. A person who enjoys learning details of a
programming language or system
A person who enjoys actually doing the
programming rather than just theorizing about it
A person capable of appreciating someone else's
hacking
A person who picks up programming quickly
A person who is an expert at a particular programming
language or system
27. Black Hat Hacker
White Hat Hacker
Grey Hat Hacker
28. A black hat hackers or crackers are individuals with
extraordinary computing skills, resorting to malicious or
destructive activities.
That is black hat hackers use their knowledge and skill for
their own personal gains probably by hurting others.
29. White hat hackers are those individuals professing
hacker skills and using them for defensive purposes.
This means that the white hat hackers use their
knowledge and skill for the good of others and for the
common good.
30. These are individuals who work both offensively and
defensively at various times.
We cannot predict their behavior.
Sometimes they use their skills for the common good while in
some other times he uses them for their personal gains.
37. Microsoft: skills in operation, configuration and management.
Linux: knowledge of Linux/Unix; security setting,
configuration, and services.
Firewalls: configurations, and operation of intrusion detection
systems.
38. Routers: knowledge of routers, routing protocols, and access
control lists
Mainframes
Network Protocols: TCP/IP; how they function and can be
manipulated.
Project Management: leading, planning, organizing, and
controlling a penetration testing team.
39. Patch Security hole
The other hackers can’t intrude
Clear logs and hide themselves
Install rootkit ( backdoor )
The hacker who hacked the system can use the
system later
It contains trojan virus, and so on
Install irc related program
identd, irc, bitchx, eggdrop, bnc
40. Install scanner program
mscan, sscan, nmap
Install exploit program
Install denial of service program
Use all of installed programs silently
41. ‘’To catch a thief you have to think like a thief”
Helps in closing the open holes in the system network
Provides security to banking and financial establishments
Prevents website defacements
An evolving technique
42. All depends upon the trustworthiness of the ethical hacker
Hiring professionals is expensive.
43. As it an evolving branch the scope of enhancement in
technology is immense.
No ethical hacker can ensure the system security by using the
same technique repeatedly.
More enhanced software’s should be used for optimum
protection.
44. In the preceding sections we saw the methodology of hacking,
why should we aware of hacking and some tools which a
hacker may use.
Now we can see what can we do against hacking or to protect
ourselves from hacking.
The first thing we should do is to keep ourselves updated
about those software’s we and using for official and reliable
sources.
Educate the employees and the users against black hat
hacking.
