Ethical Hacking- Hot topic on network security
« on: April 23, 2015, 01:24:56 PM »
We all think that hacking is always done by bad people. But we all know, every action has an opposite reaction :). Similarly, hacking can be used to secure one's system on the perspective of hackers. We can use penetration testing, hack a system to find the vulnerability of the system which can be used by the really bad people. Before them, we just find it and patched the system to fix this. This process is called Ethical hacking. And formally defined as Penetration testing.

A debian linux distribution called "Kali Linux" is an excellent platform for this purpose.
