In the computer security context, a hacker is someone who seeks and exploits weaknesses in a computer system or computer network. Hackers may be motivated by a multitude of reasons, such as profit, protest, challenge, enjoyment,[1] or to evaluate those weaknesses to assist in removing them. The subculture that has evolved around hackers is often referred to as the computer underground and is now a known community. While other uses of the word hacker exist that are related to computer security, such as referring to someone with an advanced understanding of computers and computer networks, they are rarely used in mainstream context. They are subject to the longstanding hacker definition controversy about the term's true meaning. In this controversy, the term hacker is reclaimed by computer programmers who argue that someone who breaks into computers, whether computer criminal (black hats) or computer security expert (white hats), is more appropriately called a cracker instead. Some white hat hackers, who claim that they also deserve the title hacker, and that only black hats should be called "crackers"
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.
Hi, friends today Iam presented my ppt on ethical hacking and network security. This will gives you some basic tips and ideas about hacking and how to make our network secure.

Ethical hacking refers to the act of locating weaknesses and vulnerabilities of computer and information systems by duplicating the intent and actions of malicious hackers. Ethical hacking is also known as penetration testing, intrusion testing, or red teaming.
Hacking has been around for more than a century. In the 1870s, several teenagers were flung off the country's brand new phone system by enraged authorities. Here's a peek at how busy hackers have been in the past 35 years.

FIGURE 1-18 Cyberwar and Cyberterror (Study Figure)
Nightmare Threats
Potential for far greater attacks than those caused by criminal attackers
Cyberwar
Computer-based attacks by national governments
Espionage
Cyber-only attacks to damage financial and communication infrastructure
To augment conventional physical attacks
Attack IT infrastructure along with physical attacks (or in place of physical attacks)
Paralyze enemy command and control
Engage in propaganda attacks
Cyberterror
Attacks by terrorists or terrorist groups
May attack IT resources directly
Use the Internet for recruitment and coordination
Use the Internet to augment physical attacks
Disrupt communication among first responders
Use cyberattacks to increase terror in physical attacks
Turn to computer crime to fund their attacks
espionage.87 Cyber espionage from China has been a serious problem since 1999.88
The Chinese government has been involved in, or sponsored, attacks aimed at the State
Department, Commerce Department, Senators, Congressmen, and US military labs.89
Cyberwar attacks can be launched without engaging in physical hostilities and still do
tremendous damage. Countries can use cyberwar attacks to do massive damage to one
another’s financial infrastructures, to disrupt one another’s communication infrastructures,
and to damage the country’s IT infrastructure all as precursors to actual physical hostilities.
Cyberterror
Another nightmare scenario is cyberterror, in which the attacker is a terrorist or group of
terrorists.90 Of course, cyberterrorists can attack information technology resources directly.
They can damage a country’s financial, communication, and utilities infrastructure.91

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

10. Hackers are here. Where are
you?
The explosive growth of the Internet has
brought many good things…As with most
technological advances, there is also a dark
side: criminal hackers.
The term “hacker” has a dual usage in the
computer industry today. Originally, the term
was defined as:
HACKER noun. 1. A person who enjoys
learning the details of computer systems and
how to stretch their capabilities…. 2. One who
programs enthusiastically or who enjoys
programming rather than just theorizing about
programming.
11. What is a Hacker?
Old School Hackers: 1960s style Stanford or MIT
hackers. Do not have malicious intent, but do have
lack of concern for privacy and proprietary
information. They believe the Internet was
designed to be an open system.
Script Kiddies or Cyber-Punks: Between 12-30;
predominantly white and male; bored in school; get
caught due to bragging online; intent is to
vandalize or disrupt systems.
Professional Criminals or Crackers: Make a
living by breaking into systems and selling the
information.
Coders and Virus Writers: See themselves as an
elite; programming background and write code but
won’t use it themselves; have their own networks
called “zoos”; leave it to others to release their
code into “The Wild” or Internet. (www.tlc.discovery.com)
12. What is Ethical Hacking?
Ethical hacking – defined “methodology
adopted by ethical hackers to discover the
vulnerabilities existing in information
systems’ operating environments.”
With the growth of the Internet, computer
security has become a major concern for
businesses and governments.
In their search for a way to approach the
problem, organizations came to realize
that one of the best ways to evaluate the
intruder threat to their interests would be
to have independent computer security
professionals attempt to break into their
computer systems.
13. Who are Ethical Hackers?
“One of the best ways to evaluate the intruder
threat is to have an independent computer
security professionals attempt to break their
computer systems”
Successful ethical hackers possess a variety of
skills. First and foremost, they must be completely
trustworthy.
Ethical hackers typically have very strong
programming and computer networking skills.
They are also adept at installing and maintaining
systems that use the more popular operating
systems (e.g., Linux or Windows 2000) used on
target systems.
These base skills are augmented with detailed
knowledge of the hardware and software provided
by the more popular computer and networking
hardware vendors.
14. What do Ethical Hackers do?
An ethical hacker’s evaluation of a system’s
security seeks answers to these basic questions:
• What can an intruder see on the target
systems?
• What can an intruder do with that information?
• Does anyone at the target notice the intruder’s
at tempts or successes?
• What are you trying to protect?
• What are you trying to protect against?
• How much time, effort, and money are you
willing to expend to obtain adequate
protection?
15. How much do Ethical Hackers
get Paid?
Globally, the hiring of ethical hackers is on
the rise with most of them working with
top consulting firms.
In the United States, an ethical hacker can
make upwards of $120,000 per annum.
Freelance ethical hackers can expect to
make $10,000 per assignment.
Some ranges from $15,000 to
$45,000 for a standalone ethical
hack.

20. Anatomy of an attack:
• Reconnaissance – attacker gathers
information; can include social
engineering.
• Scanning – searches for open ports (port
scan) probes target for vulnerabilities.
• Gaining access – attacker exploits
vulnerabilities to get inside system; used
for spoofing IP.
• Maintaining access – creates backdoor
through use of Trojans; once attacker
gains access makes sure he/she can get
back in.
• Covering tracks – deletes files, hides
files, and erases log files. So that attacker
cannot be detected or penalized.
(Source: www.eccouncil.org)
21. Hacker classes
• Black hats – highly skilled,
malicious, destructive “crackers”
• White hats – skills used for
defensive security analysts
• Gray hats – offensively and
defensively; will hack for different
reasons, depends on situation.
Hactivism – hacking for social and
political cause.
Ethical hackers – determine what
attackers can gain access to, what they
will do with the information, and can they
be detected.
