Special Journey to an Ethical hacking
Hello friend, I am an ethical hacker. I am going to teach you how to defend yourself from cybersecurity attack. Let’s begin to our journey,
Who is a Certified Ethical Hacker?
A Certified Ethical Hacker is a specialist typically working in a red team environment, focused on attacking computer systems and gaining access to networks, applications, databases, and other critical data on secured systems. A CE H understands attack strategies, the use of creative attack vectors, and mimics the skills and creativity of malicious hackers. Unlike malicious hackers and actors, Certified Ethical Hackers operate with permission from the system owners and take all precautions to ensure the outcomes remain confidential. Bug bounty researchers are expert ethical hackers who use their attack skills to uncover vulnerabilities in the systems.
Course Description
The Certified Ethical Hacker (CE H) credential is the most trusted ethical hacking certification and accomplishment recommended by employers globally. It is the most desired information security certification and represents one of the fastest-growing cyber credentials required by critical infrastructure and essential service providers. Since the introduction of CE H in 2003, it is recognized as a standard within the information security community. CE H v11 continues to introduce the latest hacking techniques and the most advanced hacking tools and exploits used by hackers and information security professionals today. The Five Phases of Ethical Hacking and the original core mission of CE H remain valid and relevant today: “To beat a hacker, you need to think like a hacker.”

Ethical Hacking:
Is Ethical hacker are for crack passwords or to steal data? No, it's much more than that. Ethical hacking is to scan vulnerabilities and to find potential threats on a computer or networks. An ethical hacker finds loopholes or weak points in a computer, network or web applications and reports them to the organization. So, let’s explore more about Ethical Hacking step-by-step.
These are various types of hackers:
(1) white Hat Hackers (Cyber-Security Hacker)
(2) Black Hat Hackers (Cracker)
(3) Gray Hat Hackers (Both)
(4) Script Kiddie (The beginner hacker)
Let’s summarize them one-by-one.
White Hat Hackers:
White Hat Hackers look for bugs and ethically report it to the organization. We are authorized as a user to test for bugs in a website or network and report it to them. White hat hackers generally get all the needed information about the application or network to test for, from the organization itself. They use their skills to test it before the website goes live or attacked by malicious hackers.
Black Hat Hackers:
The organization doesn’t allow the user to test it. Black Hat Hackers unethically enter inside the website and steal data from the admin panel or manipulate the data. They only focus on themselves and the advantages they will get from the personal data for personal financial gain. They can cause major damage to the company by altering the functions which lead to the loss of the company at a much higher extent. This can even lead you to extreme consequences.
Grey Hat Hackers:
They sometimes access to the data and violates the law. But never have the same intention as Black hat hackers, they often operate for the common good. The main difference is that they exploit the vulnerability publicly, whereas white hat hackers do it privately for the company.
Script Kiddie :
In simple word, Script Kiddie are those who used to refer less experience malicious hackers who use existing software to launch hacking attacks. While security professionals make their own tools, script kiddies pick up other tools to exploits, scripts, to attack a target. They are considered as less skilled than professional penetration testers, or white hat hackers, script kiddies usually don’t understand the inner workings of software and computer networking.
Script kiddies work on software or scripts written by others and doesn't know the knowledge or know-how to modify or produce their own software. Script kiddies find the most easy routes to hacking a system and do not invest much idea or energy into performing an attack. Script kiddies may utilize hacking projects composed by different programmers since they frequently come up short on the aptitudes to compose their own. Often times you can find a script kiddie in the gaming community using common tools such as “low-orbit ion cannon” to DDoS a game server or wreak havoc on an IRC channel.
