ABSTRACT:
The explosive growth of the Internet has
brought many good things: electronic commerce, easy access to vast stores of
reference material, collaborative computing, e-mail, and new avenues for
advertising and information distribution. As with most technological advances,
there is also a dark side- criminal hacker. Governments, companies, and private
citizens around the world are anxious to be a part of this revolution, but they
are afraid that some hacker will break into their Web server and replace their
logo with pornography, read their
E-mail, steal their credit card number from an on-line
shopping site, or implant software that will secretly transmit their organization's
secrets to the open internet. With these concerns and others, the ethical hacker can help. This paper describes ethical hackers: their skills, their attitudes, and how
they go about helping their customers find and plug up security holes.
