Abstract

Hacking is the act of breaking down into someone else PC for the cause of stealing data. Presently, hacking is majorly utilized in pessimistic practice. Through the proper utilization of ethics of hacking, we can apply it for superior motives, i.e., for the welfare of the society, it can be turned into ethical hacking. Before starting hacking, one should have proper knowledge about it—the attacks, its methods, its past experience, and then only a person can be a good ethical hacker. To be more precisely said, ethical hacking is the creativity in which we can enhance and help organizations to be secure and give a pathway for their growth.
