 Required Skills of an Ethical Hacker
 What do hackers do after Hacking?
 Advantages
 Disadvantages
 Future Enhancements
 Conclusion and Personal suggestion
 Demonstration RAT
Ethical hacking also known as penetration testing or
white-hat hacking, involves the same tools, tricks, and
techniques that hackers use,but with one major difference that
Ethical hacking is legal.
 Independent computer security Professionals breaking into the
computer systems.
 Neither damage the target systems nor steal information.
 Evaluate target systems security and report back to owners
about the vulnerabilities found.
 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
 Black Hat Hacker
 White Hat Hacker
 Grey Hat Hacker
 A black hat hackers or crackers are individuals with
extraordinary 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.
 White hat hackers are those
individuals professing hacker
skills and using them for
defensive purposes.
 This means that the white hat
hackers use their knowledge
and skill for the good of others
and for the common good.
 These are individuals who work both offensively and
defensively at various times.

 We cannot predict their behavior.

 Sometimes they use their skills for the common good while in
some other times he uses them for their personal gains.
 General step of hacking

 Foot Printing
 Scanning
 Gaining Access
 Maintaining Access
 Whois lookup
 NS lookup
 IP lookup
 Port Scanning
 Network Scanning
 Finger Printing
 Fire Walking
 Password Attacks

 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.
 Routers: knowledge of routers, routing protocols, and access
control lists

 Mainframes

 Network Protocols: TCP/IP; how they function and can be


manipulated.

 Project Management: leading, planning, organizing, and


controlling a penetration testing team.
 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 scanner program
 mscan, sscan, nmap
 Install exploit program
 Install denial of service program
 Use all of installed programs silently
 ‘’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
 All depends upon the trustworthiness of the ethical hacker

 Hiring professionals is expensive.


 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.
 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
ourselves from hacking.
 The first thing we should do is to keep ourselves updated
about those software’s we and using for official and reliable
sources.
 Educate the employees and the users against black hat
hacking.
