Ethics of Hacking
by Michelle Sellers
This paper will explore the ethics of hacking. There are two main types of hacking, ethical hacking and unethical hacking. For the purposes of this paper I will attempt to explain the differences between the two and argue my viewpoints on the topic. I will support my arguments with valuable resources, and explain how the typical ethical theories pertain to this topic. I will follow with ways to prevent being a victim of the crime of hacking.
Where self-assessments and internal audits provide general security rules for your organization, ethical hacking provides a specific, accurate, and actionable analysis of your organization’s security health.
