Ethical Hacker

The main difference between one system and the other is the action they take when an attack is detected in its initial phases (network scanning and port scanning).

Precedence shows a strong desire among governments and corporates to limit the legal space for hacktivist operation. Such moves resonate with the fundamental reasons for the existence of hacktivist organizations. However, in the pursuit of the truth and justice, it is critical that hacktivist engagements be informed by some sense of ethical direction. Matters like individual privacy and national security ought to be navigated with utmost care to avoid harm to a person or

Have you ever been a victim of a cyber crime? Something as simple as a weird pop up that won't go away? Or maybe something a little bit more serious like your personal web page gets hi-jacked? All this "malicious" damage that causes you much grief isn't so much the work of a hacker, per se, but more the work of a "cracker" or a "script kiddie". Now you're confused right? Well let's just say everyone who knows how manipulate a computer isn't doing it on bad and evil terms, like writing a virus to deploy on a certain date to permanently delete certain file extensions. But maybe they're the people sitting hours on end to deploy a fix for that certain virus someone else is writing, or safeguarding a local bank's network to make sure that virus

The ethical issues surrounding hacking, stem from several sources mainly dealing with order and control, and information ownership. What is difficult to decipher from all the media hoopla surrounding the terms, "hacker" and "hacking" is both the simultaneous sensationalism and the condemnation of said activities. Of course just recently, even a movie was made and was appropriately called Hackers. The term and all that it implies has truly entered our popular consciousness when Hollywood has made a box office movie on it. As the advancement of computer technologies and systems of information become increasingly more and more complex in today's fast paced modern world and said technologies become an integral

Hackers are given more of a free pass than other “deviant” communities are from society because of the high-level anonymity in the community, their motivations are claimed to be honourable, and the high amount permeability of computer culture into the mainstream normalizes their behaviour.

In the early days of computing, a hacker was primarily referred to as a computer guru, someone who is extremely technical with a high expertise in computer also known as “Expert Programmers”. Nevertheless, as technology is advancing at a face pace, hacking has adopted a completely different definition. The modern definition is someone who access a computer system primarily to steal or destroy information. Hacking has caused major harm in the realm of technology. Over the years, hackers have become much more lethal in their craft. They manage to break into complex information systems from entities such as banks, government agencies, and private businesses. Furthermore, they often manipulate their victims through social engineering in order to obtain financial benefits. Hackers hold different label such as: black hat hacker and white hat hacker in which all have their own motives.

Our society has a negative perception towards the word “hacker” that has just seemed to have stuck in today’s world. Nevertheless, individuals need to separate hackers from criminals. Many individuals believe that hackers are these evil rebels that operate individually in their parent’s basements and are driven by money or a desire to cause excessive evil in society. In reality, hackers are merely smart individuals that work in groups to bring change to social order. Sometimes hackers are misguided and misunderstood, but they often use their skills to expose hidden details of governments and corporations.

It is a computer based term in which data access by the white hat hacker and give the security to its user and help to improve the cyber system with white hat hacker who love to work for their user with some security products and give the surety from some extent, after that gray hat hacker also work for the nation without any personal gaining motive as compare to other its work high ranking system or done by judiciary of every nation. On the other hand black hat hacker (cyber criminals) is a stigma on the society and gives the high risk with different ways. So in my research topic, I’m trying to tell about some cyber problems and how to protect from them. With the help of Qualitative Research and Quantitative Research data from articles, newspaper, and books and I also giving some references from which I use in my research assignment.

Computer hacking generates a lot of controversy these days. Hacking involves the use of computer skills to penetrate a network or a computer mostly to obtain protected and sensitive information. Computer hackers are generally of two types - white hat hackers and black hat hackers. White hat hackers use their computer skills for constructive purposes while black hat hackers use their skills for nefarious activities. To prosecute black hat hackers, different countries have put in place special IT law provisions.

For some individuals, hacking can be a hobby they like to undertake in order to analyze how many computers or the systems they can gain access to. While hacking seems harmless, there are those who do this vice maliciously so that they can get access to customer/ client information, the details of credit cards, their passwords, email addresses and identity fraud (Riem, 2001). Having this unauthorized access to these information warrants an arrest, and should the criminals be found, they are liable for their crimes.

Almost 90 percent of our society now depends on complex computer based system. With the increasingly use of computer and explosive growth of the Internet has brought many good things: electronic commerce, online banking, e-mail, video conferencing etc. The improvement of systems security to prevent criminal hacker has become an important concern to society. There are many ways to protect those information systems; it seems that the Ethical Hacking is a better way. Therefore, whether to teach or not teach the "Ethical Hacking" as a course in Tertiary education has become an interesting argument. In this article will analysis the ethical, legal, and ethical implications of this issue.

As the world becomes more and more reliant on computers the computer hacking industry is greatly rising. With people such as Kevin Mitnick, who is known as a "computer terrorist" (Kjochaiche 1), computerized information isn't safe any more. Kevin is known as "the most high-profiled computer criminal and responsible for more havoc in the computer world today."(1) He considered this a fun and easy task. He got caught and thrown into prison, but once he got out nothing changed. Kevin stated that as long as the technology is there it just calls to people to break into it. Computer hackers usually start off young, thinking that it is nothing but a little harmless fun. But as they get older, they realize it has turned into

Every day in the news we hear or read about another company that has had a breach of security in their network. These breaches lead to large amounts of stolen or compromised information as well as the loss of services within that company. In many of these cases the breach could probably been prevented had the company been able to find the vulnerabilities in the network. This is where ethical hacking comes into the program.

In today’s day and age cybercrime and cybersecurity are serious subjects. Now, back in the day say our parents or grandparents time those weren’t even real topics or non-existent. Cybercrime (hacking) and cybersecurity are still both fairly new and with newness comes problems. Such as, not fully understanding and knowing the ins and outs. Merriam-Webster states that cybercrime is, “crime (as theft, fraud, intellectual property violations, or distribution of child pornography) committed electronically.”1 Merriam-Webster also states that cybersecurity are, “measures taken to protect a computer or computer system (as on the Internet) against
