3. INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
The explosive growth of the Internet has brought many good things :
electronic commerce, easy access to vast stores of reference material,
collaborative computing, e-mail, and new avenues for advertising and
information distribution , to name a few. As with most technological
advances , there is also a dark side : criminal hackers. Governments,
companies, and private citizens around the world are anxious to be a part of
this revolution, but they are afraid that some hacker will break into their
Web server and replace their logo with pornography, read their e-mail, steal
their credit card number from an on-line shopping site, or implant software
that will secretly transmit their organization’s secrets to the open Internet.
With these concerns and others, the ethical hacker can help.
