In the first week of Ethical Hacking course, we briefly discussed the basics of what hacking is and the cyber laws regarding to hacking. We learned the certificates that are needed in order to be a qualified and ethical hacker. Here is a basic introduction to what we learned on the first meet :
- Ethical hackers
- Employed by companies to perform penetration tests
- Penetration test
- Legal attempt to break into a company’s network to find its weakest link
- Tester only reports findings
- Security test
- More than an attempt to break in; also includes analyzing company’s securitypolicy and procedures
- Tester offers solutions to secure or protect the network
The Instructor Sir Kalpin told his about his career and how his job requires the skills of an Ethical Hacker. He seemed very intellectual and observant regarding to the class that he is teaching. I am looking forward to continue to learn more about ethical hacking in this course.
