Ethical Hacking



Hacking is the act of finding the possible entry points that exist in a computer system or a computer network and finally entering into them. Hacking is usually done to gain unauthorized access to a computer system or a computer network, either to harm the systems or to steal sensitive information available on the computer.
Hacking is usually legal as long as it is being done to find weaknesses in a computer or network system for the testing purpose. This sort of hacking is what we call Ethical Hacking.
A computer expert who does the act of hacking is called a "Hacker". Hackers are those who seek knowledge, to understand how systems operate, how they are designed, and then attempt to play with these systems.

Types of Hacking

  • Website Hacking − Hacking a website means taking unauthorized control of a web server and its associated software such as databases and other interfaces.
  • Network Hacking − Hacking a network means gathering information about a network by using tools like Telnet, NS-Lookup, Ping, Tracert, Netstat, etc. with the intent to harm the network system and hamper its operation
  • Email Hacking − It includes getting unauthorized access to an Email account and using it without taking the consent of its owner.
  • Ethical Hacking − Ethical hacking involves finding weaknesses in a computer or network system for testing purpose and finally getting them fixed.
  • Password Hacking − This is the process of recovering secret passwords from data that has been stored in or transmitted by a computer system.
  • Computer Hacking − This is the process of stealing computer ID and password by applying hacking methods and getting unauthorized access to a computer system.

Advantages of Hacking
To recover lost information, especially in case you lost your password.To perform penetration testing to strengthen computer and network   security.To put adequate preventative measures in place to prevent security breaches.To have a computer system that prevents malicious hackers from gaining access.

Disadvantages of Hacking
  • Massive security breach. 
  • Unauthorized system access on private information. 
  • Privacy violation. 
  • Hampering system operation. 
  • Denial of service attacks. 
  • Malicious attack on the system. 
  • Purpose of Hacking 
  • Just for fun 
  • Show-off 
  • Steal important information 
  • Damaging the system 
  • Hampering privacy 
  • Money extortion 
  • System security testing

Types of hackers
none Hat Hackers
none Hat hackers are also known as Ethical Hackers. They never intent to harm a system, rather they try to find out weaknesses in a computer or a network system as a part of penetration testing and vulnerability assessments.
Ethical hacking is not illegal and it is one of the demanding jobs available in the IT industry. There are numerous companies that hire ethical hackers for penetration testing and vulnerability assessments.

Black Hat Hackers
Black Hat hackers, also known as crackers, are those who hack in order to gain unauthorized access to a system and harm its operations or steal sensitive information.
Black Hat hacking is always illegal because of its bad intent which includes stealing corporate data, violating privacy, damaging the system, blocking network communication, etc.

Drone

UAV Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)  or unmanned aircraft systems (UASes)  is an another name of Drone .A drone is a flying robot  Which may be remotely controlled or can fly autonomously through software-controlled flight plans in their  embedded systems working in conjunction with onboard sensors and GPS   . UAVs were most often associated with the military, where they were used initially for anti-aircraft target practice, intelligence gathering and then, more controversially, as weapons platforms. Drones are now also used in a wide range of civilian roles ranging from search and rescue, surveillance, traffic monitoring, weather monitoring and firefighting to  personal drones   and business   drone-based photography , as well as videography, agriculture and even delivery services. HISTORY The first generally used drone was a full-size retooling of the de Havilland DH82B "Queen Bee" biplane, which was fitted out with ...

World Largest Telescope -Fast

Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) HISTORY On 26 December 2008, a foundation laying ceremony was held on the construction site. Construction started in March 2011,and the last panel was installed on the morning of 3 July 2016.The telescope was first proposed in 1994. The project was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) in July 2007.A 65-person village was relocated from the valley to make room for the telescope and an additional 9,110 people living within a 5 km radius of the telescope were relocated to create a radio-quiet area.About 500 families tried to sue the local government. Villagers accused the government of forced demolitions, unlawful detentions and not giving compensation.The Chinese government spent around $269 million in poverty relief funds and bank loans for the relocation of the local residents, while the construction of the telescope itself cost $180 million. Originally budgeted for CN¥700 millio...
