2. What is Hacking?
• act of finding the possible entry points that
exist in a computer system or a computer
network and finally entering into them.
• usually done to gain unauthorized access to
a computer system or a computer network,
either to harm the systems or to steal
sensitive information available on the
computer.

3. • A computer expert who does the act of
hacking is called a “Hacker".
• Hackers are those who seek knowledge,
to understand how systems operate, how
they are designed, and then attempt to
play with these systems.

4. Ethical Hacking
• Hacking is usually legal as long as it is
being done to find weaknesses and help
identify potential threats in a computer or
network system for testing purpose. This
sort of hacking is what we call Ethical
Hacking.

5. • An ethical hacker attempts to bypass
system security and search for any
weak points that could be exploited by
malicious hackers.

6. Ethical Hacker Commandments:
• Work Ethically
• Respect Privacy
• Avoid Crashes of your Systems

7. Ethical Hacking - Process

8. Reconnaissance
• Reconnaissance is a set of
processes and techniques
used to covertly discover
and collect information
about a target system.
• refers to preparatory phase
where an attacker learns
about all of the possible
attack vectors that can be
used in their plan.

9. Scanning and Enumeration
• Scanning is the process
where the attacker begins
to actively probe a target
machine or network for
vulnerabilities that can be
exploited.
• Enumeration is the ability
of the hacker to convince
some servers to give them
information that is vital to
them to make an attack.

10. Gaining Access
• In this process, the
vulnerability is located
and you attempt to exploit
it in order to enter
into the system.
• This is the actual hacking
phase in which the
hacker gains access to
the system.

11. Maintaining Access
• After gaining access,
the hacker installs some
backdoors in order to
enter into the system
when he needs access
in this owned system in
future.

12. Clearing Tracks
• “Everybody knows a
good hacker but
nobody knows a great
hacker.”
• This process is
actually an unethical
activity. It has to do
with the deletion of
logs of all the activities
that take place during
the hacking process.

13. Reporting
• Reporting is the last step
of finishing the ethical
hacking process. Here the
Ethical Hacker compiles a
report with his findings
and the job that was done
such as the tools used,
the success rate,
vulnerabilities found, and
the exploit processes .

14. Ethical Hacking Tools
• Nmap (Network Mapper)
• Metasploit
• Burp Suite
• Angry IP Scanner
• Cain and Abel

15. Advantages:
• Helps in closing the open holes in the
system network
• Provides security to banking and financial
establishments
• Prevents website defacements

16. Disadvantages:
• All depends upon the trustworthiness of
the ethical hacker.
• Hiring professionals is expensive.
