The Legality of Ethical Hacking

Pakistan Journal of Engineering and Technology

Hacking is a typical method for breaching personal and confidential information. As a result, hacking is also known as infiltration. Intrusions, on the other hand, were not always recognized as theft and were employed for productive purposes. A person or corporation that does ethical hacking and receives incentives from a network or system owner for testing can enter an apparatus (system or network) to locate, repair, and expose network flaws. Most ethical hackers, also known as black hat hackers, test systems using different approaches, methodologies, and tools. Because today's life is lived in a digital world, we need to protect our privacy from cyber-attacks. The proposed paper discussed ethical hacking and its ramifications, in which black hackers "hack" networks. The proposed research emphasizes ethical hacking tactics. This research also examines the impact of ethical hacking on business, education, health, society, the workplace, technology, sensitive informatio...

The explosive growth of the Internet has brought many good things such as E-commercebanking, E-mail, cloud computing, but there is also a dark side such as Hacking, Backdoors, Trapdoors etc. Hacking is the first big problem faced by Governments, companies, and private citizens around the world. Hacking means reading email’s of someone, stealing passwords, stealing credit card numbers etc. An ethical hacker is one who can help the people who are suffered by this hackings. This paper describes about Ethical hackers, it’s types and phases of hacking

Cybercrime is a computer oriented crime that involves a computer and a network. Cybercrimes include most of the times profit oriented criminal activities. Hacking is the set of instruction using which we can interrupt between the client and server. In Intentional hacking hackers who attacks on the any client servers with the moto to harm the system and communication between the server's Unintentional hackers are those who may sometimes intemperate laws but doesn't have intention to harm or to steal. These type of hackers either work with an organization or under government. In this, we have explained different types of hacker in detail and how the systems are basically hacked by the hackers and how the positive and negative side of the hacking.

The purpose of this study is to address the issues and concerns of network security professionals due to the prominence of information technologies and growing dependence on the Internet. Growing concern stems from the apparent lack of security inherent within information technologies and information systems. Such topics as identity theft and the latest computer virus are addressed in light of inherent dangers and implications from attackers world wide. Particular emphasis is placed upon the need for determining a potential proactive measure to improve network security. Measures consisting of a hacking methodology in network security to combat the exacerbating topics associated with the Internet and computer networks world wide are examined. The study includes a history of hacking, investigation into present day issues and concerns, and topics such as cyber terrorism, identity theft, and economical considerations are focused on. The study concludes by examining ethical hacking as a ...

As nowadays all the information is available online, a large number of users are accessing it, some of them use this information for gaining knowledge and some use it to know how to use this information to destroy or steal the data of websites or databases without the knowledge of the owner. The purpose of this paper is to tell what is hacking, who are hackers, what is ethical hacking, what is the code of conduct of ethical hackers and the need of them. A small introduction of Linux Operating System is given in this paper. All the techniques are performed on the Linux operating system named Kali Linux. After this some basic hacking attacks covered in the paper are MiTM Attack (Man in The Middle Attack), Phishing Attack, DoS Attack (Denial of Services Attack). Further what is Wi-Fi, what are the techniques used in the Wi-Fi protection and the methods used by the hackers to hacks Wi-Fi passwords is covered in the paper.

The Ethics of Cybersecurity, 2020

Technologies are developing faster and their impact is bigger than ever before. Synergies emerge between formerly independent technologies that trigger accelerated and unpredicted effects. Alongside these technological advances new ethical ideas and powerful moral ideologies have appeared which force us to consider the application of these emerging technologies. In attempting to navigate utopian and dystopian visions of the future, it becomes clear that technological progress and its moral quandaries call for new policies and legislative responses. Against this backdrop this new book series from Springer provides a forum for interdisciplinary discussion and normative analysis of emerging technologies that are likely to have a significant impact on the environment, society and/or humanity. These will include, but be no means limited to nanotechnology, neurotechnology, information technology, biotechnology, weapons and security technology, energy technology, and space-based technologies.

The security situation on the web is exceptionally bad. Hacking is an action in which a person is thrilled at the lack of a structure for self-gain. A large amount of applications such as open and private associations or electronic business transfer their basic capabilities, Advertisements and data determine entry to the Internet, at which point the crooks have more freedom and motivation to access tactile data via web applications. In this way, ethical hackers or white hat programmers appeared to lose out on these important issues. Ethical hacking that effectively attempts to optimize the creation of security by building security assurance to identify and fix known security vulnerabilities on structures claimed by other assemblies. Ethical hackers can test beta testing unrestricted programming, stress test distributed programming, and sweep organizations of PCs for vulnerabilities. Hacking is a cycle for circumventing the security tools of a data framework or organization. The basic motivation behind this investigation is to uncover the little idea of ethical hacking and its undertakings with corporate security.

Massive growth of the Internet has brought in many good things such as e-commerce, easy access to extensive sources of learning material, collaborative computing, e-mail, and new avenues for enlightenment and information distribution to name a few. Today, since almost all the work is done over the internet, crucial data is sent over the web and other information is placed over the internet. So ensuring data security over the internet is very important and should be taken care of at utmost priority. As with most technological advances, there is also a dark side attached to it, i.e. hacking. Hacking is an activity in which a person (namely hackers) exploits the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in a system for self profit or gratification. With the growing movement of the world from offline to online culture like shopping, banking, sharing information access to sensitive information through the web applications has increased. Thus the need of protecting the systems from hacking arises to promote the persons who will punch back the illegal attacks on the computer systems and will ensure data security. As every coin has two faces, this coin also has one another face which generally acts as a life saver for the victims of hacking. This lifeguard technique is called ethical hacking. Ethical hacking is a technique which is used to identify the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in the system or computer network in order to strengthen the system further to prevent the data. The main reason behind studying ethical hacking is to evaluate target system security. This paper helps to generate a brief idea of ethical hacking and all aspects.

Hacking has become an extensive trouble with the beginning of the digital age, almost worldwide access to the internet and other digital media. It is significant for individuals, corporations, and the government to guard them from being susceptible to such attacks. The purpose of this paper is to provide information about ethical hacking; their skill to share advanced security knowledge and capabilities with organization and pointing out their vulnerabilities.
