2. Introduction
Ethical hacking is a legal way of
finding vulnerabilities in
computer systems.This
presentation will provide a
comprehensive guide for
beginners to understand the
basics of ethical hacking and its
importance in today's digital
world.

Ethical hacking involves
identifying and exploiting
vulnerabilities in computer
systems with the owner's
permission.It's used to help
organizations improve their
security and prevent cyber
attacks.An ethical hacker
must have technical skills,
creativity, and critical
thinking abilities.

4. TYPES OF HACKI
NG
There are three types of hacking:
white hat,black hat,and grey
hat.White hat hackers are
ethical hackers who work to
improve security and prevent
cyber attacks.Black hat hackers
are criminals who use hacking
for malicious purposes.Grey hat
hackers are a mix of both.

5. COMMON HACKING
TECHNIQUES
Common hacking techniques include
phishing, social engineering, brute-
force attacks,and SQL injection.
Phishing is when a hacker sends a
fake email or message to trick
someone into giving them sensitive
information. Social engineering is
when a hacker manipulates someone
into giving them access.Brute-force
attacks involve guessing passwords.
SQL injection is when a hacker injects
malicious code into a website's
database.

6. Tools for Ethical Hacking
There are many tools available for
ethical hacking,such as Nmap,
Metasploit,and Wireshark.Nmap is
used for network mapping and port
scanning.Metasploit is used for
exploiting vulnerabilities.Wireshark
is used for network analysis and
packet sniffing.These tools are
essential for ethical hackers to test
and improve security.
