and legally exploiting vulnerabilities

• Unlike malicious hacking, ethical
hacking is conducted with permission

current system.

White-hat hackers may also work in teams called "


sneakers and/or hacker clubs"

Hackers.

These are good hackers who try to secure our data,


websites. With the rise of cyberattacks,
organizations and governments have come to
understand that they need ethical hackers.

Phishing, and SQL injection attacks.

They are certified hackers who learn hacking from


courses.
Black Hat

Hacking
Process
1) Reconnaissance
Reconnaissance is the phase where the attacker gathers information
about a target using active or passive means. The tools that are widely
used in this process are NMAP, Hping, Maltego, and Google Dorks.

2) Scanning
It is a phase where hackers dive deeper into the system to look for
valuable data and services in a specific IP address range.

3) Gaining Access
Gaining Access also called "hacking into system".
It is the process exploiting the loopholes and vulnerabilities in order
to breaking system.
4) Maintaining Access
Once the attacker gains access into target system , he can
choose to use both the system and the resources as a
launched pad to scan and exploit other systems.

5) Covering Access
Covering Access is the final stage of hacking process its
goal is to erase evidences and digital signs which can be used
for tracking the attackers.
Why do Hacker Hack

financial establishments.
• Prevents website defacements.
• An evolving technique.
Disadvantage
• Massive security breach.
• Unauthorized system access on private
information.
• Privacy violation.
• Hampering system operation.
• Denial of service attacks.
• Malicious attack on the system.
Conclusion

• In the preceding sections we saw the methodology of hacking, why should


we aware of hacking and some tools which a hacker may use.
• Now we can see what can we do against hacking or to protect ourselves
from hacking.
• The first thing we should do is to keep ourselves updated about those
software's we and using for official and reliable sources.
