    This document discusses ethical hacking. It defines ethical hacking as proactively increasing security by identifying vulnerabilities. An ethical hacker follows the same methodology as black hat hackers, including reconnaissance, scanning/enumeration, system hacking, maintaining access, and clearing tracks. The document outlines some specific tools used at each stage, such as Google, Nmap, password crackers, and key loggers. It argues that both users and developers should understand hacking methods in order to strengthen security and close vulnerabilities that could be exploited.

    ABSTRACT

    Today more and more softwares are developing and people are getting more
    and more options in their present softwares. But many are not aware that they are
    being hacked without their knowledge. One reaction to this state of affairs is a
    behavior termed “Ethical Hacking" which attempts to proactively increase security
    protection by identifying and patching known security vulnerabilities on systems
    owned by other parties.

    A good ethical hacker should know the methodology chosen by the hacker
    like reconnaissance, host or target scanning, gaining access, maintaining access
    and clearing tracks. For ethical hacking we should know about the various tools
    and methods that can be used by a black hat hacker apart from the methodology
    used by him.

    From the point of view of the user one should know atleast some of these
    because some hackers make use of those who are not aware of the various hacking
    methods to hack into a system. Also when thinking from the point of view of the
    developer, he also should be aware of these since he should be able to close holes
    in his software even with the usage of the various tools. With the advent of new
    tools the hackers may make new tactics. But atleast the software will be resistant to
    some of the tools.
