Overview:
For a very long time, the white hat hacker community has been highly fond of this book. This book will show you how to defend yourself against the most typical hacking assaults by understanding how hacking truly operates. After all, you must always be one step ahead of any malicious hacker if you want to keep your system secure. This book includes methods and resources used by both unethical and criminal hackers. Everything you read here will demonstrate how information security can be undermined and how to spot an assault on a system that you are attempting to defend. While doing so, You will also discover how to stop an ongoing attack or reduce any harm to your system. Learning how to hack and counter hack will help you do that.
Hacking:
Hacking is a very dangerous game. The majority of nations have strict security regulations and cybersecurity divisions that collaborate with local law enforcement to apprehend hackers. In addition to possessing strong technological skills, skilled hackers must also understand how to make money without being discovered. Additionally, you need to be very motivated to hack.
Black hackers utilize specialized malware such as spyware and ransomware to lock infected computers, steal data, and encrypt the use of the equipment. Databases of businesses or governmental organizations are occasionally breached by hackers seeking access to data. Then, in exchange for keeping their trade secrets or other sensitive information out of the public eye, they want extortion money.
In order to identify security flaws, offensive testing of computer systems is referred to as ethical hacking. Security vulnerabilities are what we refer to as these flaws. For students from all backgrounds, it has been a fairly popular career choice (non-CS students can also learn it easily and be equally good as CS students, or even better than them).
Since ethical hacking involves breaking into systems, it requires knowledge of how those systems function in practise. You will encounter networks, networking tools, networking protocols, websites, web technologies, content delivery systems, and many other elements of online infrastructures as you hack (ethically). It’s crucial to understand what each of these parts does and how they interact. A basic understanding of the components of a web-based system, the markup language for the web (HTML), a scripting language (JavaScript), a data transfer language (XML or JSON), knowledge of computer networks and the TCP/IP suite, and knowledge of C/C++/Java/Python programming is sufficient to get you started.
