Ethical Hacking
Ethical Hacking is the procedure of finding security vulnerabilities and exploiting vulnerabilities in system, network, application or computer resources that malicious attacker could potentially exploit. This procedure takes place on behalf of its owner. A person who performs this procedure called Ethical Hacker (also known as White Hat Hacker). Ethical Hacking is part of Cyber Security and contains many techniques like Network Scanning, Traffic Analysing, Traffic Sniffing, Bypassing Access Controls, Bypassing Firewalls, etc. Ethical Hacker reports all vulnerabilities, weakness, and mitigation if possible to Management or Developers for the patch before any attackers could exploit.
