This project focuses on ethical hacking practices, also known as penetration testing or white-hat hacking. Ethical hacking involves the authorized assessment of computer systems, networks, or applications to identify and address security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by malicious actors.

1. Authorization: All testing is conducted with explicit permission from the system owner to distinguish ethical hacking from malicious activities.

2. Scope: The scope of the engagement is clearly defined, outlining the systems, networks, or applications authorized for testing to prevent unintended disruptions.

3. Methodology: Ethical hackers use various tools and techniques, including vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and social engineering, to simulate real-world cyberattacks.

4. Reporting: Upon completion, detailed reports are provided to the organization, outlining discovered vulnerabilities, potential impacts, and recommendations for remediation.

5. Continuous Improvement: Ethical hacking is part of an ongoing cybersecurity strategy, including monitoring, regular security assessments, and updates to ensure resilience against emerging threats.

• Identifying vulnerabilities: Discovering weaknesses in the security infrastructure to prevent exploitation by malicious actors.

• Assessing risk: Understanding potential risks associated with systems and prioritizing mitigation efforts.

• Strengthening security: Recommendations contribute to improving the overall security posture of a system or network.

Many ethical hackers obtain certifications such as Certified Ethical Hackers (CEH) to demonstrate expertise in ethical hacking practices.

Please take a look at the project documentation for instructions on conducting ethical hacking assessments.
