INTRODUCTION:
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 legally breaking into computers and devices
to test an organization's defenses.
ETHICAL HACKING:
• Independent computer security Professionals breaking into
the computer systems.
• Neither damage the target systems nor steal information.
• Evaluate target systems security and report back to owners
about the vulnerabilities found.
HACKERS:
• A person who enjoys learning details of a programming
language or system
• A person who enjoys actually doing the
programming rather than just theorizing about it
• A person capable of appreciating someone else's
hacking
• A person who picks up programming quickly
• A person who is an expert at a particular programming
language or system
TYPES OF HACKERS:
• Black Hat Hacker
• White Hat Hacker
• Grey Hat Hacker
BLACK-HAT HACKER:
• A black hat hackers or crackers are individuals with
extraordinary computing skills, resorting to malicious or
destructive activities.
• That is black hat hackers use their knowledge and skill
for their own personal gains probably by hurting others.
WHITE-HAT HACKER:
• White hat hackers are those individuals professing
hacker skills and using them for defensive purposes.
• This means that the white hat hackers use their
knowledge and skill for the good of others and for the
common good.
GREY-HAT HACKERS:
• These are individuals who work both offensively and
defensively at various times.
• We cannot predict their behavior.
• Sometimes they use their skills for the common good
while in some other times he uses them for their personal
gains.
HACKING PROCESS:
• Foot Printing
• Scanning
• Gaining Access
• Maintaining Access
FOOT PRINTING:
• Who is lookup
• NS lookup
• IP lookup
SCANNING:
• Port Scanning
• Network Scanning
• Finger Printing
• Fire Walking
GAINING ACCESS:
• Password Attacks
• Social Engineering
• Viruses
MAINTAINING ACCESS:
• Os Back Doors
• Trojans
• Clears Tracks
WHY DO WE NEED ETHICAL
HACKING
Protection from possible External Attacks
Social
Engineering
Automated
Organizational Attacks
Attacks
Restricted
Data
Accidental Breaches in
Security
Denial of
Viruses, Trojan Horses, Service (DoS)
and Worms
REQUIRED SKILLS OF AN
ETHICAL HACKER:
• Microsoft: skills in operation, configuration and
management.
• Linux: knowledge of Linux/Unix; security setting,
configuration, and services.
• Firewalls: configurations, and operation of intrusion
detection systems.
REQUIRED SKILLS OF AN
ETHICAL HACKER:
• Routers: knowledge of routers, routing protocols, and access
control lists
• Mainframes
• Network Protocols: TCP/IP; how they function and can be
manipulated.
• Project Management: leading, planning, organizing, and
controlling a penetration testing team.
WHAT DO HACKERS DO AFTER
HACKING:
• Patch Security hole
The other hackers can’t intrude
• Clear logs and hide themselves
• Install rootkit ( backdoor )
The hacker who hacked the system can use the
system later
It contains trojan virus, and so on
• Install irc related program
identd, irc, bitchx, eggdrop, bnc
WHAT DO HACKERS DO
AFTER HACKING:
• Install scanner program
mscan, sscan, nmap
• Install exploit program
• Install denial of service program
• Use all of installed programs silently
ADVANTAGES:
• “To catch a thief you have to think like a thief”
• Helps in closing the open holes in the system network
• Provides security to banking and financial establishments
• Prevents website defacements
• An evolving technique
FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS:
• As it an evolving branch the scope of enhancement in
technology is immense.
• No ethical hacker can ensure the system security by using
the same technique repeatedly.
• More enhanced software’s should be used for optimum
protection.
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.
• Educate the employees and the users against black hat hacking.
THANK
YOU
