- 5. Who are 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.
- 6. Why do hackershack ? Just for fun. Show off. Hack other systems secretly. Notify many people their thought. Steal important information. Destroy enemy’s computer network during the war.
- 7. Ethical Hackers butnot Criminal Hackers o Completely trustworthy. o Strong programming and computer networking skills. o Learn about the system and trying to find its weaknesses. o Techniques of Criminal hackers- Detection-Prevention.
- 8. Types of Hackers oBlack Hat Hacker o White Hat Hacker o Grey Hat Hacker
- 9. Black-Hat Hacker • Ablack hat hackers or crackers are individuals with extra ordinary 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.

- 12. What should doafter hacked? Shutdown or turn off the system Restore the system with the backup or reinstall all programs Connect the system to the network It can be good to call the police
- 13. Hacking Process • FootPrinting :Gathering information. • Scanning : Analyzing networks and systems. • Gaining Access :Entering a system. • Maintaining Access :Keeping control for a long time.
- 14. Foot Printing • Whois lookup :Retrieves domain ownership and registration details. • NS lookup :Finds the name servers (DNS) for a domain. • IP lookup :Checks IP address details like location and ISP.
- 15. Scanning • Port Scanning:Identifying open ports in a network. • Network Scanning :Finding active devices and their details in a network. • Finger Printing : Identifying and gathering details about a system or device. • Fire Walking :Gathering information about networks and servers behind a firewall.
- 16. Gaining Access • PasswordAttacks :Techniques to steal or crack passwords. • Social Engineering :Deceiving people to obtain sensitive information. • Viruses :Malicious programs that harm systems.
- 17. Maintaining Access • OSBack Doors :Hidden paths that allow unauthorized access. • Trojans : Malicious software disguised as legitimate programs. • Clears Tracks : Erasing evidence of hacking activities.
- 18. Why do youneed Ethical hacking Protection from possible External Attacks
- 19. Required Skills ofan 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.
- 20. Required Skills ofan Ethical Hacker…. • Routers : knowledge of routers, routing protocols, and access control lists • Mainframes : knowledge of mainframes • Network Protocols : TCP/IP; how they function and can be manipulated. • Project Management : leading, planning, organizing, and controlling a penetration testing team.
- 21. What do hackersdo 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
- 22. What do hackersdo after hacking? • Install scanner program m scan, s scan, n map • Install exploit program • Install denial of service program • Use all of installed programs silently
- 23. Advantages • To catcha 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.
- 24. Disadvantages • All dependsupon the trustworthiness of the ethical hacker. • Hiring professionals is expensive.
- 25. Future Enhancements • Asit 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.
