What you will learn

Ethical hacking involves a hacker agreeing with an organization or individual who authorizes the hacker to levy cyber attacks on a system or network.

Whether you want to get your first job in IT security, become a white hat hacker, or prepare to check the security of your own home network.

In addition to proficiency in basic computer skills and use of the command line, ethical hackers must also develop technical skills related to programming.

Ethical hacking is a good career because it is one of the best ways to test a network. An ethical hacker tries to locate vulnerabilities in the network.

Many hackers use the Linux operating system (OS) because Linux is a free and open-source OS that anyone can modify it. It’s easy to access and customize .

Ethical hacking is legal because the hacker has full, expressed permission to test the vulnerabilities of a system. An ethical hacker operates.

The different types of hackers include white hat hackers who are ethical hackers and are authorized to hack systems.

The Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification exam supports and tests the knowledge of auditors, security officers, site administrators

Ethical hackers are generally experts in programming, cybersecurity, security analysis, and networking infrastructure.

Passing the Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) exam indicates that the credentialed individual is an expert in the governance of information security

Penetration testing skills make you a more marketable IT tech. Understanding how to exploit servers, networks, and applications.

Penetration testing, or pen testing, is the process of attacking an enterprise's network to find any vulnerabilities that could be present to be patched.

Think of penetration testing as a way to use hacking skills for good.

By conducting a pen test, you are effectively simulating a cyber attack on your own applications in order to identify weaknesses in firewalls or servers.

Penetration tests have five different stages. The first stage defines the goals and scope of the test and the testing methods that will be used.

There are many types of penetration testing. Internal penetration testing tests an enterprise's internal network. This test can determine.

With Nmap, you will learn to identify the operating system and running service versions of the target system

Linux is available in a range of different distributions that are tailored to the needs and skill of their users.

Both ethical (white hat) hackers and malicious (black hat) hackers often prefer to use the Linux operating system (OS) over Windows OS.

For beginners learning Linux to pursue a career in IT or software administration.

You may only need a basic understanding of how to navigate and execute functions using Linux and how applications built on Linux behave.

Software-focused career paths that frequently use Linux include developer and software engineering roles for Python, Java, and Linux systems.

The name “Linux” can refer to both the kernel itself (the Linux kernel) and an operating system built around that kernel.

The core component of any operating system is called the kernel. Linux’s core is simply referred to as the Linux kernel.

For beginners, a few of the most highly recommended Linux distributions include Elementary OS, Ubuntu Linux, and Ubuntu Budgie.

Other distributions that are considered easy to learn and master are Linux Mint, Zorin OS, Nitrux, Kodachi, Rescatux, and Parrot Security.
