Ethical Hacking: Presented By:-Shravan Sanidhya

This document discusses ethical hacking. It begins by defining ethical hacking as the practice of legally testing a system's security vulnerabilities by simulating attacks, in order to improve security. It then covers types of hackers (black hat, white hat, grey hat), the hacking process (footprinting, scanning, gaining access, maintaining access), why ethical hacking is needed, required skills, and what hackers may do after gaining access such as installing backdoors. The document advocates for ethical hacking to protect systems from attacks and close security holes. It notes both advantages like increased security and disadvantages like cost.

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.
Disadvantages
All depends upon the trustworthiness of the ethical hacker

Hiring professionals is expensive.


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
