PENTEST MAGAZINE (free article)

This BLOG is dedicated to HACKI9.org


In the free article which tells us about the parts to be taken care of by a ethical hacker and a BLACK HAT says the tools available to a ethical hacker and the level of coverage are greater for a BLACK HAT than a ETHICAL HACKER aka SECURITY PERSON.

WHAT IS SAID:

As a ethical Hacker A person has access to the LAN due to which HACKER's skills allow gain into network.

But they miss that

> Every gateway , network, firewall and network access has its own tester which has been tested.
>One point that they miss out is that Once loop holes are found they are passed on to lower levels but are the updates transferred in a secure manner

>One big advantage a hacker has is a DEADLINE and the pressure of a DEADLINE , with so any anti- virus in production apart from being against the hackers , we need to better ourself from our competitors , Causing stress to our admins.

>To allow the Security buddy more focus on their part , They don't need to hide their Identity , Whereas A Hacker needs to take care of that as well. Definitely FIREWALL testing would be awesome to prevent malware to leak into our systems else 'concealed box' programs as have been mentioned leak into nodes.

Other than the above the article is sited for beginners to understand

All this indirectly point that the very skilled hacker HAS TO DO PLENTY OF EFFORT BEFORE GETTING INTO YOUR COMPUTER.
