Ethical Hacking Issues
In Ethical Hacking & Pentesting, a security tester basically acts like a hacker. They use tools and techniques that a hacker would most likely use to test a target network’s security. The difference being they are hired by the company to test security and when done reveal to the leadership team how they got in and what they can do to plug the holes. The biggest issue I see in using these techniques is ethics and law. Some security testing techniques covered in this book are actually illegal to do in some areas. So, it is important that users check their Local, State and Federal laws before using the information in this book.
Also, you may have some users that try to use Kali Linux or other Ethical Hacking tools on a network that they do not have permission to do so. Or they will try to use a technique they learned, but may have not mastered on a production network. All of these are potential legal and ethical issues. Never run security tools against systems...
