Ethical hacking, or white hat hacking, involves utilizing hacking methods to evaluate and enhance the security of computer systems, networks, and software applications. Ethical hackers are authorized professionals who perform hacking tasks as part of their roles.
The process simulates the tactics of malicious hackers (black hats) to discover security flaws and vulnerabilities. After identifying these weaknesses, ethical hackers collaborate with system owners to address and strengthen the system's defenses.
This specialized domain demands comprehensive expertise in computer systems, networking, and security protocols. Ethical hackers usually possess strong backgrounds in computer science and cybersecurity and may hold certifications like Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) or Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP).
