About this ebook
Hacking
The Ultimate Beginners to Experts Guide to Computer Hacking, Penetration Testing and Basic Security Coding
In this book, entitled “Hacking” we discuss how hacking affects us. Hacking is mostly know for its disadvantages but it does have advantages too.
Hacker and malicious activity has in the past few years been on the rise and this is specifically in the last one year. The attacks and threats have been on the rise and the impact to the online world is far-reaching. Attacks have been a source of concern to ordinary internet users and a problem too to corporate entities. Some of the threats will take the form of the conventional software like the viruses and malware among scripts which are aimed at exploiting flaws and achieving various malicious ends.
This book describes the various forms of hacking that are quite common with the current technology. These forms may be implemented in house by people who understand the current system or by outsiders who may just want to explore the vulnerabilities in the system, or have some malicious intension.
This book also describes the different types of hackers, and why some hackers play an important role to ensure whatever we do is safe. Hacking has directly impacted on the cost of doing business. Many businesses are spending way higher amounts of money on online security.
In the light of the latter, hacking has its advantages to the world of technology and is thus becoming a popular career choice. Sadly, the image of a hacker is greatly exaggerated and many look to it as a glamorous career choice that gives them power over the world: the reality is far from it.
Take time and read this book to learn more about hacking.

Reviews for Hacking
5 ratings1 review
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Lackluster. There was little purpose in reading this for me. It's great as an introduction to hacking terminology, but hardly more than a quick overview. Scanned through it in less than 5 minutes...it's only 33 pages.

Hacking - Jeremy Li
Introduction
Hackers are those individuals who use their knowledge of computers to infiltrate and compromise the security of other computer networks. They often target home and office computers that are connected to the Internet. The Internet is a gateway to a computer to connect to the world, which also makes it vulnerable to attacks from hackers across the globe. Hackers can work alone or in groups, and in a lot of cases are self-taught.
Positive Side of Hacking
Supporters argue that despite the inconvenience, hackers can cause benefit to the systems of business, they also provide high security to big companies; it helps to make the Internet safer. Businesses nowadays tend to employ ethical hackers
whose agenda is to test online security based systems and keep away potential threats.
Ethical hackers test the networks for vulnerabilities. Their aim is to check if these networks are secure enough to get past their security defenses. They ensure their companies are not susceptible in any way to attacks from the black and Grey hat hackers who are the bad hackers.
Thank you for choosing to read this book. I believe it will answer your questions and help you understand hacking more.
