Ethical Hacking

I bet that when you hear the word hacking, you immediately think about a bad guy, some nerdy dude in a darkened room hunched in front of his computer, his face bathed in the glow of his monitor, typing away some code that would let him into someone else's network. You are not entirely wrong, there are bad guys like that, that is why there are also those who work hard so that these bad guys are kept at bay. The good guys who work to keep networks safe from hackers are also hackers, but they are different from the common hackers or the black hat hackers that you know. The good guys are Ethical hackers and I think that's a very cool job. Ethical Hacking is commonly done in big networks with many data. The ethical hacker makes some penetration testing and if he finds "holes" in the system or in the network, he'll do something about it. Ethical hackers know how hackers (the bad guys, or the black hat hackers) think and do their thing that is why they know how to foil the attacks of these guys.

Because the computer has become the lifeblood of every society in the world, Ethical Hacking has also become a very important field because IT Security is part and parcel of a computer-driven world. Don't you know that the job of a Certified Ethical Hacker is very in demand today and it is one of the most highly paid jobs?
