Book excerpt: Hacking is a term most of us shudder away from; we assume that it is only for those who have lots of programming skills and loose morals and that it is too hard for us to learn how to use it. But what if you could work with hacking like a good thing, as a way to protect your own personal information and even the information of many customers for a large business? This guidebook is going to spend some time taking a look at the world of hacking and some of the great techniques that come with this type of process as well. Whether you are an unethical or ethical hacker, you will use a lot of the same techniques, and this guidebook is going to explore them in more detail along the way, turning you from a novice to a professional in no time. Some of the different topics we will look at concerning hacking in this guidebook includes: The basics of hacking and some of the benefits of learning how to use this programming technique. The different types of hackers, why each one is important, and how they are different from one another. How to work with your own penetration test.

Some of the steps that you can take in order to ensure that your network will stay safe and secure, despite all of the threats out there. Hacking is a term that most of us do not know that much about.

But learning a bit of hacking can actually be the best way to keep your own network safe.
