The document discusses ethical hacking. It defines hacking and different types of hackers such as script kiddies, white hats, and black hats. White hats are ethical hackers who are licensed to hack for security purposes, while black hats engage in criminal activities. The document outlines the process of hacking and explains that ethical hacking is not a crime when done for security research without malicious intent. Finally, it lists some penalties for illegal hacking under the Information Technology Act of 2000 in India, including imprisonment up to 3 years for hacking computer systems or breaching privacy.
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 performed with the target’s permission. The intent of ethical hacking is to discover vulnerabilities from a hacker’s
viewpoint so systems can be better secured. It’s part of an overall information risk management program that allows for ongoing security improvements. Ethical hacking can also ensure that vendors’ claims about the security of their products are legitimate.

Hacking is unauthorized intrusion into a computer or a network. The person engaged in hacking activities is generally referred to as a hacker. This hacker may alter system or security features to accomplish a goal that differs from the original purpose.
Ways to Prevent Computer Hacking
Educational institutions must clearly establish use policies and delineate appropriate and inappropriate actions to all individuals who access information via a computer. The use of filters or firewalls may be considered to reduce access to unauthorized software serial numbers and other hacking-related materials.
This is a presentation I gave to senior high school students. The 1st part is an overview the 2nd part is more detailed on the ways to perform the Ethical Hacking.

Today is the age of computer and internet. More and more people are creating their own websites to market their products and earn more profit from it. Having our own website will definitely help us in getting more customers purchasing our products but at the same time we can also attract hackers to play around with our website. If we have not taken enough care to protect our website from hackers then our business can even come to an end because of these hackers. If we own a website, then we might know the importance of ensuring that our website is safe from viruses and hackers.
After going online most of the website designers think that their work is over. They have delivered what they were paid for and now they will be available for the maintenance of the site only. But sometimes the main problem starts after publishing the website. What if the website they have built suddenly start showing different stuff from what was already present there? What if weird things start appearing on the pages of our website? And most horribly what if the password of our login panel has changed and we are not able to login into our website. This is called hacking, a website hacking. We have to figure out how this happened so we can prevent it from happening again. In this seminar we are going to discuss some of major website hacking techniques and we are also going to discuss how to prevent website from getting vulnerable to different attacks currently use by various hackers.
Overview of hacking techniques used to attack modern web applications focused on application layer. Cross Site Scripting, SQL Injection, Buffer Overflow, Phishing attacks presented.
I published a paper on "Ethical Hacking And Hacking Attacks". The purpose of the paper is to tell that what is hacking, who are hackers, their types and some hacking attacks performed by them. In the paper I also discussed that how these attacks are performed.
An ethical hacker breaks into the security system of a website or computer on the instructions of his employer only to strengthen its security and prevent from hackers

How has the perception of the hacker changed over recent years? What is the profile of a hacker today?
We can look at the time line of the word “Hack”
June 1959 – Peter R. Samson of the Tech Model Railroad Club of MIT Publishes “AN ABRIDGED DICTIONARY of the TMRC LANGUAGE.” It contains the first verifiable modern source of the word hacker.
November 20, 1963 – MIT’s newspaper, The Tech, publishes the first documented use of hacker in journalism.
September 5, 1977 – Time Magazine publishes the first documented use of “hacker” in the mainstream press.
August 1, 1980 – Psychology Today publishes “The Hacker Papers”
May 6, 1981 – Possibly the first surviving, documented USENET post of the word hacker.
July 2, 1981 – The first documented use in a newspaper of the word hacker.
December 4, 1984 – The word hacker is documented to be spoken for the first time on television, by Ted Koppel.
According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of hacker is:
1. One that hacks
2. A person who is inexperienced or unskilled at a particular activity
3. An expert at programming and solving problems with a computer
4. A person who illegally gains access to and sometimes tampers with information in a computer system
So, lets look at Definition # 3 and #4. There are Three Types of Hackers:
1. White Hat Hacker
a. Is an Ethical computer hacker, or a computer security expert, who specializes in penetration testing and in other testing methodologies that ensures the security of an organization’s information systems.
b. Ethical hacking is an increasingly accepted and legitimate profession. Therefore, be careful not to treat an ethical hacker like a former (or current) criminal.
c. While the nature of their duties is historically “bad,” that doesn’t warrant a set of guidelines separate from their coworkers.
d. Doing so makes an already traditionally solitary role even more isolating and could make them feel like they are doing something wrong when they are actually helping your business.
2. Grey Hat Hacker
a. A computer hacker or computer security expert who may sometimes violate laws or typical ethical standards, but does not have the malicious intent typical of a black hat hacker.
b. Gray Hats frequently hack systems without approval or authorization from a principal enterprise, usually to prove they can, but then usually notify the system or network owner or vendor of any discovered weakness.
3. Black Hat Hacker
a. A person who attempts to find computer security vulnerabilities and exploit them for personal financial gain or other malicious reasons.
b. They can inflict major damage on both individual computer users and large organizations by stealing personal financial information, compromising the security of major systems, or shutting down or altering the function of websites and networks.
c. The growth of the black hat community simply as a byproduct of a growing society; as any society grows past a certain limit, a dark side emerges.
d. Black hat ...
