System Hacking

THE FOLLOWING CEH EXAM TOPICS ARE COVERED IN THIS CHAPTER:

  • images Vulnerabilities
  • images Exploit tools
  • images Programming languages
  • images Operating environments
  • images Verification procedures
  • images Technical assessment methods

Penetration testing, or ethical hacking, isn’t just about breaking into systems—looting and pillaging. Keep in mind that the objective is always to help organizations improve their security posture. Exploiting vulnerabilities to gain access to systems is one way of doing that. Breaking into a system demonstrates the existence of the vulnerability, and it also provides potential pathways to other systems.

With the end goal...
