CONTENT • INTRODUCTION • METHODOLOGY • REPORTING • HISTORY • CONCLUSION • TYPES OF HACKERS • ETHICAL HACKING • ADVANTAGES AND • DISADVANTAGES • HACKING • CONCLUSION • ETHICAL HACKING • COMMANDMENTS • REFERENCE

INTRODUCTION • Ethical hacking also known as penetration testing • or White-hat hacking, involves the same tools, • tricks and techniques that hackers use, but with • one major difference that ethical hacking is legal. • Ethical hacking can also ensure that vendors • claims about the security of their products • legitimate.

SECURITY • Security is the condition of being protect against • danger or loss. In the general sense, security is a • concept similar to safety. • Information security means protecting information • and information systems from unauthorized access, • use, disclosure, disruption, modification or destruc- • tion. Need for security There may be several forms of damages which are obviously interrelated which are produced by the intruders.

HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS • In one early ethical hack, the United States Air Force • conducted a “security evaluation” of the Multiuse • operating systems for “potential use as a two-level • (secret/top secret) systems.” • Most notable of these was the work by Farmer and • Venom, which was originally posted to Usenet in • December of 1993.

HACKING • Eric Raymond, compiler of “The New Hacker’s Dictionary”, • defines a hacker as a clever programmer. • A “Good hack” is a clever solution to a programming • problem and “hacking” is the act of doing it.

TYPE OF HACKERS • Black-Hat Hackers- • -----Ethical Hacker • White-Hat Hackers • -----Cracker • Grey-Hat Hackers • ----- Skilled Hacker

ETHICAL HACKING • A methodology adopted by ethical hackers to discover • the vulnerabilities existing in information systems • operating environments. • With the growth of the internet, computer security has • become a Major concern for businesses and govern- • ments. • Evaluate the intruder threat to their interests would be • to have independent computer security professionals • attempt to break into their computer systems.

Required Skills of an Ethical Hacker : • Microsoft : • Linux : • Firewalls : • Routers : • Network Protocols : • Project Management :

Reconnaissance: This literal meaning of the Word reconnaissance means a preliminary survey to gain the information . This is also known as foot-printing. As given in the analogy, this is the stage in which the hacker collects information about the company which the personal is going to hack. This is one of the pre-attacking phases. • Scanning: The hacker tries to make a blue print of the target network. The blue print includes the IP addresses of the target network which are live, the services which are running on those systems and so on Modern port scanning uses TCP protocol to do scanning and they could even detect the operating systems running on the particular hosts.

Password Cracking: There are many methods for cracking the password and then get in to the system. The simplest method is to guess the password. But this is a tedious work. But in order to make this work easier there are many automated tools for password guessing like legion. • Privilege escalation Privilege escalation is the process of raising the privileges once the hacker gets in to the system The privilege escalation process usually uses the vulnerabilities present in the host operating system or the software. There are many tools like hk.exe, metasploit etc. One such community of hackers is the metasploit

Ethical hacking tools: Ethical hackers utilize and have developed variety of tools intrude into different kinds of systems and to evaluate the security levels. The nature of these tools differs widely.

Certifications 1)CISE(Cetified into security expert) 2) AFCEH(AnkitFadia Certified Ethical Hacker)

Advantagesanddisadvantages: Ethical hacking nowadays is a backbone of network security .Each day its relevance is increasing ,the major pros & cons of ethical hacking • Advantages • “To catch a thief you have to think like a thief” • Help in closing the open holes in the network • Provides security to banking and financial • establishments • Prevents website defacements • An evolving technique

Future enhancements: • As it an evolving branch the scope of enhancement in technology is immense. No ethical hacker can ensure the system security by using the same technique repeatedly. He would He would have to improve , develop and explore new avenues repeatedly. • More enhanced software’s should be used for optimum protection . Tools used , need to be updated regularly and more efficient ones need to be developed

Conclusion • One of the main aim of the seminar is to make others understand that there are so many tools through which a hacker can get into a system. Its various perspectives. • Student • A student should understand that no software is made with zero Vulnerability. So while they are studying they should study the various possibilities and should study how to prevent that because they are the professionals of tomorrow

Ethical hacking in practice Ethical hacking in practice involves the systematic process of identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks, or applications with the permission of the system owner or administrator. The primary goal is to assess the security posture of the target system and recommend measures to mitigate potential risks. Authorization and Consent Ethical hackers, also known as penetration testers or white-hat hackers, must obtain explicit authorization from the organization or individual responsible for the target system before conducting any security assessments. This authorization ensures that the hacking activities are conducted within legal and ethical boundaries. Methodologies Ethical hacking follows established methodologies to systematically evaluate the security of a target system. Common methodologies include reconnaissance, scanning, enumeration, exploitation, and post-exploitation. These steps involve gathering information about the target, identifying potential entry points, exploiting vulnerabilities, and maintaining access to assess the impact. Tools and Techniques Ethical hackers leverage a variety of tools and techniques to perform their assessments. These may include network scanners, vulnerability scanners, password cracking utilities, packet sniffers, and exploit frameworks. Additionally, they may employ social engineering tactics to manipulate users into divulging sensitive information or compromising security controls. Reconnaissance The first phase of ethical hacking involves gathering information about the target system, including its architecture, network topology, software versions, and potential entry points. This information is collected through passive reconnaissance techniques, such as public information gathering and network scanning. Vulnerability Assessment Ethical hackers use automated scanning tools and manual techniques to identify vulnerabilities in the target system. This includes software vulnerabilities, misconfiguration, weak passwords, and insecure network protocols. Vulnerability assessment helps prioritize security risks and potential attack vectors. Exploitation Once vulnerabilities are identified, ethical hackers attempt to exploit them to gain unauthorized access to the target system. This may involve using exploit code, social engineering tactics, or other techniques to bypass security controls and escalate privileges. The goal is to demonstrate the impact of the vulnerabilities and simulate real-world attack scenarios. Post-Exploitation After gaining access to the target system, ethical hackers conduct further analysis to determine the extent of the compromise and identify sensitive data or critical assets that may be at risk. This phase involves maintaining access, gathering additional information, and documenting the steps taken during the assessment. Reporting Ethical hackers document their findings and recommendations in a detailed report, which is provided to the organization or individual who authorized the assessment. This report typically includes an executive summary, technical details of vulnerabilities, risk assessment, and prioritized recommendations for remediation. The goal is to assist the organization in improving its security posture and mitigating potential risks effectively. Continuous Improvement Ethical hacking is an ongoing process that demands continuous learning and adaptation to keep pace with evolving threats and technologies. Ethical hackers stay informed about the latest security trends, tools, and techniques through training, certifications, and participation in the cybersecurity community. By continuously refining their skills, ethical hackers can effectively identify and address emerging vulnerabilities, contributing to the overall resilience of cybersecurity defenses. Real-World Case Studies we will analyze some notable ethical hacking case studies of this practice and how it has to securing our digital world. Case Study 1: The Target Breach In 2013, the retail giant Target fell victim to a massive data breach that the personal and financial of millions of . The breach was traced back to a malware that infiltrated the point-of-sale system.Ethical hackers were called in to investigate the incident and identify the security vulnerabilities that led to the breach.The analysis revealed that the gained initial access through a attack on one of the third-party vendors. Once inside the network, they exploited weak security controls and lack of to move laterally and access the payment system. This case study highlights the of security testing and continual to prevent such breaches. Case study 2: Stuxnet And Industrial Control S Stuxnet is arguably one of the most examples of cyber-attacks. in 2010, this sophisticated worm targeted industrial control systems (ICS)with a primary focus on Iran’s nuclear program. Ethical hackers played a crucial role in analyzing Stuxnet to its and mitigate its effects.The analysis of Stuxnet revealed that it unknown in Windows systems and Siemens control systems. It multiple , including exploits, rootkit installation, and worm-like , to target and manipulate specific logic (PLCs)The case study emphasizes the of robust security measures for critical and the need for continuous monitoring and response. Case Study 3: The Ashley Hack In 2015, the infamous Ashley Madison website, which facilitated affairs, a data breach. The breach exposed , including names, email addresses, and details, of millions of users. Ethical hackers were engaged to investigate the incident and assess the security practices of the website.The analysis several flaws, including weak password hashing , access controls, and poor data . , the lack of a robust incident plan and user data stored further the impact of the breach. This case study serves as a that even websites dealing with impact breach and information must prioritize security to protect user privacy. Conclusion Ethical hacking is a crucial practice for assessing and strengthening cybersecurity defenses in today’s digital world. Through explicit authorization, systematic methodologies, and the use of various tools and techniques, ethical hackers identify vulnerabilities and recommend measures to mitigate risks. Real-world case studies, such as the Target breach, Stuxnet attack, and Ashley Madison hack, highlight the importance of proactive security testing, continuous improvement, and robust incident response measures. These case studies underscore the ongoing need for organizations to prioritize security to safeguard against potential breaches and protect sensitive data. By learning from past incidents and embracing a culture of security, businesses can better defend against evolving cyber threats and enhance their overall resilience in the face of adversity.

Over the years, there has been a huge rise in cybercrime attacks due to the general public's lack of knowledge about hacking and internet-related crimes. Unfortunately, this goes for both common people as well as big companies. People generally think that having an antivirus that offers cyber security is enough for them to stay safe on the internet. The same goes for big corporations that do not use high-quality protection for their data. This is where ethical hackers come into play with some really impressive ethical hacking cases where they saved the day.

Ethical Hacking - An Overview

Bypassing or breaking through the security mechanisms of a system to search for vulnerabilities, data breaches, and other possible threats is an example of ethical hacking. It has to be done ethically to comply with the laws and regulations relevant to the area or the company. Because an individual must go through several procedures to get into a system and record it, this form of infiltration is referred to as "penetration testing" in the industry jargon. This is because an individual must record the system after entering it. 

You must be wondering what ethical hackers are? They are people who possess the same knowledge as hackers but use this knowledge to boost internet protection protocols and software. You, too, can learn how to be an ethical hacker using a CEH certification training course. They are the ones who protect us from actual hackers. There are multiple categories of ethical hackers, such as: 

  • Black hat hackers: They use their knowledge for malicious intent, blackmail, etc. 
  • White hat hackers: They possess the same knowledge as the black hat hackers but use their knowledge to help companies increase their defenses against the black hat hackers.

How Do White Hat Hackers Work?

With the growing rise in hackers on the internet, companies have begun using ethical hackers to scope out the flaws and vulnerabilities in their software and protection programs. But, how do these ethical hacking cases work? These people use the same techniques as Black hat hackers to penetrate a company's defenses. By doing so, they can understand the safety flaws. This gives them the inside edge to patch the flaws to ensure that hackers cannot get through the protection.

There have been multiple instances where ethical hackers have been able to spot cracks in a company's security and save them from having huge security leaks due to hackers, which would result in huge losses. The following ethical hacking case study is six instances where ethical hackers were able to save a company from dealing with data leaks and suffering huge financial losses.

Case Studies of Ethical Hacking

1. a crack in wordpress leaked user information.

Back in 2019, a new plugin was released for WordPress called Social Network Tabs. As you know, most people use WordPress to make their websites. This plugin got very popular, but none knew about the vulnerability. It basically helped users share their website content on social media.

Baptiste Robert was a French security researcher who was known online by his user handle, Elliot Alderson. He was the one who found the crack in the plugin, which was given the ID CVE-2018-20555 by MITRE. You can find this case and similar ones in a case study on ethical hacking PDF online.

You must be wondering what exactly did this flaw in the plugin do? The flaw in the plugin compromised the user's Twitter account. Since the plugin is connected to the user's social media account, the vulnerability leaked the user's social media details. Robert was the first to spot this leak and was fast to notify Twitter about it, which helped secure the user's accounts that got affected by it.

2. Oracle's vulnerability in their WebLogic servers

In 2019, Oracle released a security update without any prior notice. This took fans by surprise until they learned why this happened. The security patch was a very critical update that fixed a code vulnerability in the WebLogic Server.

The flaw was brought to light by a security firm known as KnownSec404. The vulnerability was labeled as CVE-2019-2729 which received a level of 9.8/10, which is pretty high. The vulnerability left it open to be attacked by hackers targeting two applications that the server left open to the internet.

3. Visa card vulnerability that allowed for a bypass in payment limits

This was one of the most famous ethical hacking cases brought to light on the internet. It took place on July 29th, 2019. Two security researchers from a company called Positive Technologies spotted a security weakness in Visa contactless cards that allowed hackers to bypass the payment limits. This flaw in their security would cost the company a huge loss. This one case boosted the interest in ethical hacking. As a result, multiple students began taking cyber security course certificates online to learn more.

Tim Yunusov, the Head of Banking security, and Leigh-Anne Galloway, the Cyber Security Resilience Lead, were the ones who discovered this. This was made public after five major UK banks were targeted. The contactless verification had a limit of £30 on Visa cards, but due to this weakness, hackers could bypass this limit.

4. Vulnerabilities allow for ransomware in Canon DSLR

In 2019, the DefCon27 was held, which was attended by Eyal Itkin. He was a vulnerability researcher at Check Point Software Technologies. He revealed that the Canon EOS 80D DSLR had a vulnerability that the PTP, which was the Picture Transfer Protocol, had an issue whereby ransomware could be transferred into the DSLR using the WiFi connection.

He went on to highlight that there were six vulnerabilities in the PTP that made it an easy target for hackers. They could easily get into the DSLR using this crack in the firmware. The objective of the hackers was simple. Infiltrate the DSLR and infect it with ransomware that would render the pictures useless to the user. The user would have to pay a ransom to get the pictures back to the hacker.

The team working with Eyal informed Canon about the security breach vulnerability. A few months later, Canon released a notice saying that the vulnerability was never exploited by hackers, which means that it was never discovered. However, they also announced that users should take safety precautions to keep themselves safe.

5. Zoom on the Mac could be hacked and expose the camera

On July 9th, 2019, Jonathan Leitschuh exposed a very critical vulnerability in Appel's Macs. This flaw in the security framework allowed hackers to take control of the user's front camera. As a result, many websites could force a user into a Zoom call without their knowledge or permission. This was something that invaded privacy, and millions of people who would conduct meetings or even use Zoom, in general, were at risk. This is an important ethical hacking case as it was broken on social media to make people aware. The very same day, Apple sent out a fix that was a simple patch that users could download and install to fix the issue. Zoom, too, didn't waste any time by issuing a quick-fix patch to stop the issue. 

6. A backdoor could allow hackers to execute root commands on servers

DefCon27 was where many ethical hacking cases came to light. Another one was the case of Özkan Mustafa Akkuş, who was a Turkish security researcher. They exposed a vulnerability in Webmin, a web-based system configuration in Unix-like systems.

The vulnerability was labeled CVE-2019-15107; it was a backdoor entry that allowed hackers to execute commands with root privileges. This left users exposed to hackers that could take control of their systems or hold it for ransom.

This is an important ethical hacking case study as Jamie Cameron, who is the author of Webmin, claimed that the backdoor was set by an employee. This was something that wasn't known to the company. They announced a new patch update to the new software version, which would be released to all the users.

A very important case study to know about that was featured in the case study of ethical hacking PDF was that of Zomato in India.

7. What happened to Zomato?

In 2017 a hacker broke into the security of Zomato, one of the biggest online restaurant guides and food ordering apps. The hacker was after five things. 

  • Names 
  • Emails 
  • Numeric user IDs 
  • User names 
  • Passwords 

The amount of data lost was in the millions as 17 million users were targets. The hacker was able to put up this information on the darknet for anyone to buy before starting talks with the company. This was one of the most shocking ethical hacking cases in India. This also led people to question the cyber security of the country.

Once this case was exposed to the public, Zomato issued a few blogs where they spoke about the real person behind this breach. It was said that the work was done by an ethical hacker who wanted to bring the issue of national cyber security to light. It worked as the whole country began talking about cyber security. 

8. The bug bounty program

This was a reward program started to get talented individuals to use their hacking skills to expose the weaknesses in the company's security programs. Today, multiple companies use this program to find the issues in their security. Companies like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook have invested millions in this program to find the flaws in their system and make them stronger against cyber-attacks.

The individual can get cash awards or even recognize if they can point out and fix the issue. This has brought to light multiple numbers of issues as well as many talented, ethical hacker cases that we have ever seen. 

Many people are now interested in taking up ethical hacking as their career. You can get the KnowledgeHut’s CEH certification training to learn more about ethical hacking.

In conclusion, ethical hackers are essential to the cyber security field. They are the ones who can figure out the flaws in any system and the ones who can also provide quick fixes. They are important to know how to keep your data safe in these troubled times. If you wish to know more about ethical hacking, you can get the case study on ethical hacking PDF, which you can find online. These case studies are important as they highlight the weakness in online security firmware. These need to be fixed as they could mean a potential data leak which could result in a huge financial and reputation loss for the companies that suffer it. Employing White Hat hackers is one way of fighting against it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

An example of ethical hacking done by White Hat hackers is simulating an attack on a system to see if there are any flaws in the system. They can also use the information found online about the company to find a way to infiltrate the company's security.

The role of an ethical hacker is simple. They possess the same knowledge as Black Hat hackers. But, the only difference is that they use their knowledge to spot the flaws in security systems so that they can fix them. They just want to make the security impenetrable to any attacks.

The five steps are: 

  • Reconnaissance: This step is about understanding the network and security features. 
  • Scanning: This is where they scan for the flaws in the system to see if there could be any entry.
  • Gain Access: This is where they gain access to the system by any means necessary. 
  • Maintain Access: This is where they keep their presence inside the security software or firmware without alarming anyone or losing access to the system.
  • Cover Tracks: This is where they cover up any tracks they left while getting inside or leaving the system.
