Ethical hacking includes authorized attempts to gain unauthorized access to computer systems, applications, or data. Ethical hacking requires replicating the strategies and behaviors of malicious attackers. This practice helps identify security vulnerabilities, So they can be fixed before malicious attackers can exploit them.

System Hacking:

System hacking is defined as a compromise between a computer system and software to gain access to a target computer and steal or misuse their sensitive information.

Types of system attacks:

Social Engineering:

Social engineering refers to pressuring people in a targeted organization to disclose sensitive or confidential information.

Steps of Social Engineering:

Web Hacking:

Web hacking generally refers to exploiting applications over the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). This can be done by manipulating the application through a web graphical interface, by manipulating the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), or by abusing HTTP elements.

Web Server Hacking :
