Abstract

Hacking is a typical method for breaching personal and confidential information. As a result, hacking is also known as infiltration. Intrusions, on the other hand, were not always recognized as theft and were employed for productive purposes. A person or corporation that does ethical hacking and receives incentives from a network or system owner for testing can enter an apparatus (system or network) to locate, repair, and expose network flaws. Most ethical hackers, also known as black hat hackers, test systems using different approaches, methodologies, and tools. Because today's life is lived in a digital world, we need to protect our privacy from cyber-attacks. The proposed paper discussed ethical hacking and its ramifications, in which black hackers "hack" networks. The proposed research emphasizes ethical hacking tactics. This research also examines the impact of ethical hacking on business, education, health, society, the workplace, technology, sensitive information, and human life. Finally, a brief survey based on certain questions is better to grasp the public's understanding of ethical hacking. In summary, this research offers the user fascinating and helpful information when working on ethical hacking.
