Hello everybody and welcome to this introductory video.

2

Today I will be talking ethical hacking

3

and I will also introduce you to the course itself.

4

So first off, you might have noticed

5

that the term "Ethical Hacking" is composed of two words:

6

You have "Ethical" and you have "Hacking".

7

Now hacking

8

The definition of hacking is quite broad.

9

I mean, it encompasses a very wide range of activities.

10

However, if you actually go to any of the online dictionaries, pretty much

11

and if you type in the term "Hacking"

12

generally it will say that it has something to do with computers.

13

I cannot say that that is not true

14

however, that is a small portion of the definition.

15

Rather instead, the act of hacking is actually having any system

16

and I mean any system.

17

Not just a computer system

18

Not just a digital system

19

In fact, the system doesn't even need to contain any electrical parts.

20

So literally any system having it do something that you intended it to do

21

as opposed to what it was designed to do.

22

Now here's one short example

23

that has been cited over and over again --

24

You have a lock basically

25

You have a door lock in your house

26

Everybody has one

27

l sincerely hope that you have one

28

and the purpose of that lock is used to prevent intruders.

29

So anybody that does not have a key cannot enter.

30

But people enter without a key anyway

31

because they pick the lock and then they enter

32

and that itself could be considered an act of hacking.

33

Also an act of burglary, but that's another subject.

34

Anyway, the ethical side of it

35

would be when you have these large automobile industries

36

Manufacturers

37

Then they hire people

38

They hire these burglars to come and test their locks.

39

So basically, they pay them very good sums of money

40

to go to their factories and try to unlock their cars.

41

This doesn't need to apply only to locks for cars.

42

It can also apply to your door locks.

43

Manufacturers have pretty much all sorts of locks.

44

They hire people to actually try and pick lock them

45

and then if they succeed doing it, they pay them a very good sum of money.

46

I do believe that prices for one car manufacturer

47

went up to one million euros if you managed to break their locks

48

But what I am trying to say here is that the ethical side of it

49

would be when you have a permission to do it.

50

When it's within the constraints of the law

51

and the act of hacking itself can be within the constraints of the law

52

But doesn't necessarily need to be.

53

Anyway, we will not be focusing on those types of locks today or during this course.

54

During this course, I will teach you how to penetrate networks

55

How to exploit systems

56

How to break into computers

57

How to compromise routers, etc. You will

be able, after you finish this course you

58

After you finish this course

59

After you've absorbed all the information in it

60

You will gain the ability to do some serious damage.

61

Now because of that, I wish to give you a disclaimer here --

62

So first off, I do not encourage any sort of illegal activity.

63

Furthermore, I strongly advise against it and I am against it.

64

So you do not have any legit need to do anything that is against the law

65

with the knowledge that you are going to get during this course

66

because you are going to get some pretty good

67

and you can abuse it very easily.

68

It's not that difficult to abuse it.

69

The opportunities are everywhere

70

They're endless because people tend to use insecure systems

71

or they use secure systems

72

but they don't know how to operate or configure them

73

and then in turn, those security systems

become insecure.

74

But what I'm trying to tell you is there really is no need.

75

I mean, if you want to do it for the money or something like that

76

you can make same amount, if not more, in a perfectly legitimate way.

77

People will pay you to actually test their networks

78

and to see if you can find any vulnerabilities in them

79

and then report them.

80

Perhaps even fix them.

81

However if you do decide to do something against the law

82

in any country, I am not responsible for it.

83

First off, that is what I want to say --

84

I do not claim responsibility for it

85

as I have already stated that I am doing this purely for educational purposes

86

and I do not advocate the use of this material for any sort of illegal purposes.

87

Now I hope you understand why I had to make this disclaimer

88

and this is not

89

what I said, these are not just empty words

90

I really do stand by it, and that is my philosophy as well.

91

In any case, during this course

92

I will show you numerous examples

93

methods

94

You will need some prerequisites

95

over which I will go in the next tutorial

96

but you in for a ride, so sit down

97

be patient

98

That is a very important thing in this line of work.

99

Patience, because everybody out there

100

I mean, if you are looking at this tutorial now

101

if you type in the term "Ethical Hacking"

102

I'm guessing at some point in your lives, like myself

103

you have seen a movie that involves

some sort of hacking with computers

104

and you see this terminal and you just see them typing in something there

105

and it just basically works!

106

It works within five minutes or something like that.

107

Let me tell you something --

108

that has nothing to do with the real world

or very little do with the real world.

109

In the real world, people spend countless

sleepless nights

110

trying to do something.

111

Trying to obtain access

112

Trying to bypass a password protected file or something of a kind in a server.

113

Trying to escalate privileges.

114

Trying to inject in, a SQL injection of something of a kind

115

and they not only spend countless nights doing it

116

but they also spend a long time planning, preparing

117

and getting a general idea of what they can do

118

how they can execute an attack, etc.

119

These are not things that you will be able to do within five minutes

120

after you sit and open up your desktop computer. Whatever.

121

You will need time

122

You will need patience

123

but above all, you will need to be curious.

124

Curiosity is one of the first steps here

125

and obviously, since you actually chosen to listen to this tutorial.

126

To go through it.

127

You do possess it already.

128

You just need to build on it a little bit more

129

and you'll be where you want to be.

130

In any case, I hope to see you in the next tutorial and I bid you farewell.
