Ethical Hacking Defend your systems from malicious attacks. But how? One way is to know your enemy. And a way to do this is to learn the skills, tactics, tools and motivations of the hacker. Another way is to learn your vulnerabilities before the bad guys. And to do this, use your newly acquired hacking skills to attack your own systems. This project is an introduction to ethical hacking. Topics covered should include the ethics of ethical hacking, cyberlaw, disclosure of vulnerabilities the way ethical hacking fits into the overall topic of vulnerability analysis. Then a process for ethical hacking should be described, followed by a more detailed look into each step of the process. Investigate and then demonstrate and/or report on one of the following: The unique issues involved in the application of cryptographic techniques in a special telecommunications environment, such as video, speech, mobile communications, or teleconferencing. OR The relative advantages and disadvantages of implementing cryptographic protocols at the application layer (layer 7), network layer (layer 3) and transport layer (layer 4) of the OSI basic reference model. Perform as a group project, culminating in a panel-style presentation, with each member arguing for a different layer.
