Before raising your eyebrows and get scared, read the entire post. XD
While I was blog-hopping yesterday morning, I stumbled upon an article on Ethical Hacking. I was thinking at first why promote hacking in cyberspace? It is kinda bad when one thinks of stealing someone's data from an email or a social site. I got curious all of a sudden why people wanted to be hackers of an ethical kind.
I checked on this link out of curiosity and got me hooked for a couple of minutes to see how it works. Right now I'm still reading some of the information on what CEH (Certified Ethical Hacking) does, and how it affects each and everyone of us in a different way.
In an nutshell, computers around the world are systematically being victimized by rampant hacking. This hacking is not only widespread, but is being executed so flawlessly that the attackers compromise a system, steal everything of value and completely erase their tracks within 20 minutes.
The goal of the CEH and penetration testing is to create a certified ethical hacker to help the organization take preemptive measures against malicious attacks by attacking the system himself; all the while staying within legal limits. (Penetration Testing.) This philosophy stems from the proven practice of trying to catch a thief, by thinking like a thief. As Information technology advances and organizations increasingly depend on technology, information assets have evolved into critical components of survival.

Here is a video of an overview on Certified Ethical Hacking by Wayne Burke (I had to check if I got his name correctly). I think I need to save some money for this to add this on my resume pretty soon. XD
Certified Etchical hacking jobs are for testing/penetration of the security effectives of a certain IT/Software infa.
ReplyDeleteI agree. But I don't think there are CEH here in the Philippines (not sure though)
DeleteI think you repeated a paragraph twice... http://prntscr.com/6lxdo
ReplyDeleteThanks, you noticed it. I have removed the redundant paragraph =)
DeleteAww.. I really have this negative idea about hackers, certified or otherwise.. But then, maybe these certified hackers are needed to test some software...
ReplyDeleteThat was my first impression too until I read their post. =)
DeleteI agree with Leah negative din dating sa akin ng hacker
ReplyDeleteCan't blame you naman if that's your impression. It could be with the word "hacker" that connotes negativity into it.
Deleteit was the term "hacking" that really turn off people. but if you know what really about it, its just like a normal course. this great if you want something to investigate. hehe!
ReplyDeleteYep. Sometimes, hacking can be same with testing or investigating given that we have an open mind =)
Deletegood luck with ethical hacking...=)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Though I don't know if this course is offered here.
DeleteRelated to sa latest case study ko on my ISM subject :)
ReplyDeleteUy, pede mo po syang gamitin at pagaralan mabuti. Balitaan mo na lang ako pag naimpress mga prof mo.
DeleteThis is interesting.. :) And it's just wise to have another hacker (an ethical one though) to battle against hackers :)
ReplyDeleteYep. Its high time bloggers should have their own CEH to ensure its safety =)
Deletekatakot pero hmmmm
