Ethical Hacking: Post-Exploitation

Hacking is an intellectual and physical task that involves penetrating a system or network. Generally speaking, hacking is accessing a computer system or network. Black hat hackers commonly do the practice of hacking, but white hat hackers also engage in the task. Hacking can be done to facilitate criminal acts such as theft, destruction, and extortion. For example, a hacker may access a system without malicious intent and then inform the owner of the incident, who may be able to fix the problem. But it can also be used for securing a company’s assets.
