Many think that ethical hacking is only responsible for penetration testing of systems and applications but it is not true, and an ethical hacker is responsible for much more.
- Scanning open and closed ports using Reconnaissance tools like Nessus and NMAP
- Engaging in social engineering methodologies
- Examining patch releases by doing the vulnerability analysis
- An ethical hacker will see if he/she can evade IDS (Intrusion Detection systems), IPS (Intrusion Prevention systems), honeypots and firewalls
- They are responsible to use strategies like sniffing networks, bypassing the wireless encryption, and hacking web servers, and web applications.
