What is
ethical hacking?

• In the dawn of international conflicts, terrorist
  organizations funding cybercriminals to breach
  security systems, either to compromise national
  security features or to extort huge amounts by
  injecting malware and denying access. Resulting
  in the steady rise of cybercrime. Organizations
  face the challenge of updating hack-preventing
  tactics, installing several technologies to
  protect the system before falling victim to the
  hacker.
• New worms, malware, viruses, and ransomware are
  multiplying every day and is creating a need for
  ethical hacking services to safeguard the
  networks of businesses, government agencies or
  defense.

Types of
Ethical Hacking?
It is no big secret that any system, process,
website, device, etc., can be hacked. In order to
understand how the hack might happen and what the
damage could be, ethical hackers must know how to
think like malicious hackers and know the tools
and techniques they are likely to use.

• Hacking Web Servers
• A web server, which can be referred to as the
  hardware, the computer, or the software, is the
  computer application that helps to deliver
  content that can be accessed through the
  Internet. Most people think a web server is just
  the hardware computer, but a web server is also
  the software computer application that is
  installed in the hardware computer. The primary
  function of a web server is to deliver web pages
  on the request to clients using the Hypertext
  Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

• Hacking Web Applications
• Web applications provide an interface between end
  users and web servers through a set of web pages
  generated at the server end or that contain
  script code to be executed dynamically within the
  client Web browser.

System hacking

• The term system can be anything, either a
  desktop, laptop or tablet, etc. When the term
  "System Hacking" comes into play, it usually
  means the art of hacking a computer using tools
  and techniques. The question - 'how to hack a
  system or computer?' is probably one of the most
  frequently asked questions by most Internet users
  and hacking enthusiasts. So here's a brief idea
  of what and how system hacking takes a
  significant role to doom the target.

• Wireless hacking
• 
  
  
  
  A wireless network is
  a set of two or more devices connected with each
  other via radio waves within a limited space
  range. The devices in a wireless network have the
  freedom to be in motion, but be in connection
  with the network and share data with other
  devices in the network. One of the most crucial
  point that they are so spread is that their
  installation cost is very cheap and fast than the
  wire networks.

• Social engineering hacking
• Social engineering is the art of manipulating
  users of a computing system into revealing
  confidential information that can be used to gain
  unauthorized access to a computer system. The
  term can also include activities such as
  exploiting human kindness, greed, and curiosity
  to gain access to restricted access buildings or
  getting the users to installing backdoor
  software.

• Tips and tricks foe ethical hacking
  
  
  
• GAIN KNOWLEDGE, explore the world of technology
  inside out, from learning to code in different
  programming languages to understanding how
  operating systems and networks work. All and more
  of these soft skills are required and improved as
  an ethical hacker.
• GAIN EXPERIENCE through work. Working for
  numerous years will naturally improve your
  abilities as well as develop your professionalism
  in hacking. Remember, experience require patience
  and effort to reach your end goal.

• MAKE PRACTICAL USE OF YOUR SKILLS. Being
  an ethical hacker does not only require textbook
  knowledge. Hackers must know several methods to
  break down firewalls, encrypt codes. Cyber
  security is a risky field to work in, so you must
  rely on more than knowledge and experience.
  Hackers must think outside the system to break
  in the system. That way improvements and security
  measures will be made to protect networks and
  systems will be more impenetrable.

• ALWAYS ATTEMPT IN CRACKING THE CODE. Every time
  you succeed in a penetration test is a step
  towards improvement in security measures, and a
  step closer to make an impenetrable system. This
  will do you good for the general publics sake.
• GET A CERTIFICATION No one will hire you if they
  dont know your qualifications, even if you have
  proficient skills to hack through a system.
  Obtaining a certification will allow companies to
  notice you, opening up to more professional
  opportunities within the cyber security careers.
  Thats why joining a course like Coder Academys
  new Cyber Security bootcamp course in Australia
  is a fantastic idea! Gain the skills you need to
  be an Ethical Hacker, Penetration Tester or
  entry-level cyber security professional in 7
  months plus an accredited qualification and
  optional 1 month internship.
