Ethical Hacking: A new perspective
What is Hacking?
Username: system Password: manager Welcome to ABL Computer Research Lab. You have five new messages. $ That is how easy it was to hack into a computer network. The most prominent definition of hacking is the act of gaining access without legal authorization to a computer or computer network. A hacker first attacks an easy target, and then uses it to hide his or her traces for launching attacks at more secure sites. The goal of an attack is to gain complete control of the system (so you can edit, delete, install, or execute any file in any user’s directory), often by gaining access to a "super-user" account. This will allow both maximum access and the ability to hide your presence.
Hackers are here. Where are you?
The explosive growth of the Internet has brought many good things…As with most technological advances, there is also a dark side: criminal hackers.
The term “hacker” has a dual usage in the computer industry today. Originally, the term was defined as:
HACKER noun. 1. A person who enjoys learning the details of computer systems and how to stretch their capabilities…. 2. One who programs enthusiastically or who enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about programming.
