"BASICS OF ETHICAL HACKING: SERIES # 1"

Hi friends,From today I am starting series of basics of Ethical hacking.EveryOne must learn some knowledge Of hacking to protect themselves from being hacked by hackers.But I will explain only theory part that what is hacking and what are types of hacking so that atleast people will get aware of types of Hacking.If I am wrong explaining them Feel free to correct me friends."An ethical hacker is a computer and network expert,who attacks a security system on behalf of its owners,seeking vulnerabilities that a malicious hacker could exploit.The work is ethical because it is performed to increase the safety of the computer systems,but only at the request of the company that owns the system and specifically to prevent others from attacking it."
I have learned basics of ethical hacking from the book "The Unrevealed Secrets Of Hacking and Cracking" written by one of the great Indian ethical hacker expert named as Prateek Shukla and Navneet Mehra.They both have explained ethical hacking in a very simple manner.So I am taking reference from that Book.
