The explosive growth of the Internet has brought many good things: electronic economic commerce, easy access to vast stores of reference material, collaborative computing, e-mail, and new avenues for advertising and information distribution, to name a few. As with most technological advances, there is also a dark side: criminal hackers. Governments, companies, and private citizens around the world are anxious to be a part of this revolution, but they are afraid that some hacker will break into their Web server and replace their logo with pornography, read their e-mail , steal their credit card number from an on-line shooping site, or implant software that will secretly trasmit their organization's secrets to the open Internet. With these concerns and others, the ethical hacker can help.
The term "hacker" has a dual useage in the computer industry today. Originally, the term was defined as:
HACKER noun. 1. A person who enjoys learning the details of computer system and how to strech their capabilities-as opposed to most user of computers, who prefer to learn only the minimum amount necessary. 2. One who programs enthusiastically or who enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about programming.
This complimentary description was often extended to the verb form "hacking," which was used to describe the rapid crafting of a new program or the making of changes to existing, usually complicated software.
Occasianally the less talented, or less careful, intruders would accidentally bring down a system or damage its files, and the system administrators would have to restart it or make repairs. Other times, when these intruders were againg denied access once theis activities were discovered, they would reach with purpose fully destructive actions. When the number of these desctructive computer intrusions became noticeable, due to the visibility of the system or the extent of the damage inflicted, it became "news" and the news media picked up on the story: Instead of using the more accurate term of "computer criminal," the media began using the term "hacker" to describe individuals who break into computers for fun, revenge, or profit. Since calling someone a "hacker" was originally meant as a compliment, computer security professionals prefer to use the term "cracker" or "intruder" for those hackers who turn to the dark side of hacking. There are two types of hacker "ethical hacker" and "criminal hacker".
What is Ethical Hacking
With the growth of the Internet, computer security has become a major concern for businesses and geverments. They want to be able to take advantage of the Internet for electronic commerce, advertising, information distribution and access, and other pursuits, but they are worried about the possibility of being "hacked." At the same time, the potential customers of these services are worried about maintaining control of personal information that varies from credit card numbers to social security numbers and home addresses.
In their search for a wat to approach the problem, organization came to realize that one of the best ways to evaluate the intruder threat to their interest would be to have independent computer security professionals attempt to break into their computer systems. This scheme is similar to having independent auditors come into an organization to verify its bookkeeping records. In the case of computer security, these "tiger teams" or "ethical hackers" would employ the same tools and techniques as the intruders, but they would neither damage the target systems not steal information. Instead, they would evaluate the target systems security and report hack to the owners with the vulnerabilities they found and instructions for how to remedy them.
