So we will start the course by defining the term ethical hacking.
It is an ongoing cycle of research an attack against a target or a boundary.
It's a set of processes and procedures used by penetration testers in order to circumvent the controls
of the certain information system.
These controls can be categorized into technical administrative and operational at the end of the day.
The owner will be presented by a professional report that chores all of these controls the vulnerabilities.
In addition to an executive summary of the engagement.
So what do an ethical hacker think hacker is a person who can access the system on behalf of its owner.
After getting a written consent it's very important here to obtain the consent.
The objective of ethical hacking or penetration testing is to make the world a safer place.
It's a real world audit in order to revered our security posture.
We have different types of hackers.
We have the white hackers the black hackers and the great hackers.
The white type hackers are actually the penetration testers that we will refer to during our course.
We're the good guys.
A white hacker will have access to the system on behalf of its owner in order to test it and reviewed
the security weaknesses it has.
Meanwhile black hat will access the system without consent from the user without permission from the
user to perform some hidden agenda.
Meanwhile hackers the alliance between the usual access systems without permission.
But they don't have some hidden agenda.
They just use to do this for their own benefit.
The name of the game is to identify vulnerabilities in the system that can be exploited.
It is important to note before going on with this course that the skills that you will learn you should
not leverage them to break into or anything that you don't have permission to.
It is completely illegal to access systems that you don't have explicit or written permission to will
perform everything on our VM virtual machines or you the systems that you actually own.
Again ATP This is very important.
Please do not exercise the kills that you will learn during this course just to attack systems that
you don't want.
