What is Ethical Hacking? (guide for beginners)

WHAT IS HACKING?

In basic terms, hacking is the process of gaining unauthorised access to data that’s held on a computer, system or network. 

Hackers, or those who practice hacking, will access systems in a way that the creator or holder did not intend. Although the typical intension of hacking and hackers is a negative one, it can actually be a beneficial process.

WHAT IS ETHICAL HACKING?

Ethical hacking is the process where a professional hacker legally and deliberately tries to break into the computers and devices of an organisation. In doing so, ethical hackers can test the organisation’s defences, highlighting any vulnerabilities in their systems and networks. 

it’s a sometimes complex and detailed process, with many different elements to consider. An ethical hacker, sometimes known as a white-hat hacker, will look for weaknesses in a variety of different ways. They will also perform a variety of other tasks linked to general cyber security. This can include: 

Assessing vulnerabilities
Penetration testing 
Gathering intelligence about entry points
Scanning infrastructures to spot weaknesses
 Accessing systems/networks and exploiting vulnerabilities 
Hiding their access and evading detection Compiling reports and analysis for the attempts.
