One of the most feasible and important applications of hacking can be to control terrorism. Terrorism is one of the most concerned problem in INDIA. Every year, many people lost lives due to terrorist activities. Hacking can play a major role in reducing the number of such activities and identifying the location and catching the terrorists as most of the terrorist activities requires the use of computer, mobiles etc. for communication and instructions which can be hacked.

The best thing for companies to prevent hacking attacks is to think like unethical hackers. They should find loopholes and software that can be used for hacking and should remove them.

Education should be provided to children from childhood about cyber crime and cyber ethics.

Both children and adults should be educated with latest technology, threats and ways to tackle them.

Companies should notify their employees about th latest threats, softwares and laws related to cyber crime.

Hacker and cracker are completely different terms. Both hacker and cracker are computer programmers with knowledge of many programming languages and computer systems. Hackers use their knowledge for ethical purposes. They built internet, made World Wide Web. They made the unix operating system what it is today. On the other hand, crackers use their knowledge for unethical purposes such as breaking into other computer systems without permission and stealing data or other useful information.

But the term hacker is used worldwide in place of cracker. So we will use unethical hacker or hacking to in place of cracker or cracking.

This article gives an insight into the world of unethical hacking and cyber crime. It first differentiates hackers from crackers. Hackers are talented programmers who discover security holes in a system and reasons of such holes. Hackers don't intentionally damage data. Crackers are those persons who break into other computers without the owner's permission with malicious intent. But most of the people around the globe use the term 'HACKER' in place of 'CRACKER'. Unethical hackers do this mostly because they are passionate about breaking into a system. Hacking and cyber crime are somewhat related to each other. Most of the cyber crimes are done with the help of hacking only. Cyber crime can be divided into different categories according to type of offence. To stop these criminal activities, education should be provided, not only to children but also to adults. Involvement of law is also very important to control such activities. It has been observed that some companies don't report cyber crimes because of the fear of bad reputation, which encourage the unethical hackers.

According to Wikipedia, Ethical hacking and ethical hacker are terms used to describe hacking performed by a company or individual to help identify potential threats on a computer or network. An ethical hacker attempts to bypass system security and search for any weak points that could be exploited by malicious hackers. This information is then used by the organization to improve the system security, in an effort to minimize or eliminate any potential attacks.

We often hear cases of hacking where people hack into the networks of the organisations but ethical hacking can help prevent this from happening.Generally we refer to the term "hacker" as a derisive term however it is quite wrong.In fact they can be viewed as people who have expertise in computer based subjects.Last but not least, ethical hacking can also be used to maintain national security.

This article mainly talks about the different methods in ethical hacking.These are the black box,white box and the grey box methods.The grey box method is a hybrid of the black and white box methods.Also the black box method involves various stages namely enumeration,privilege escalation etc.The white box method is a more deterministic form of ethical hacking which can reduce the amount of investment considerably.There must be a proper coordination between policy makers and hackers.The hackers would also need help from the technical support management team which can serve as the "watchdog".They also need apt help from the human resource resource and legal departments.Finally,an ethical hacker hacker is an educator who seeks to enlighten not only the customer, but also the security industry as a whole.
