Cybersecurity Assignment 2

Ethical hacking is a proactive cybersecurity approach that involves authorized attempts to breach systems to identify vulnerabilities. It encompasses core concepts like penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, and social engineering, and employs methodologies such as reconnaissance and exploitation. The practice is essential for improving system resilience, though it faces legal and ethical challenges, and is evolving with developments like AI-assisted tools.
