Introduction to Hacking

Hacking is the art of using technology to gain unauthorized access to systems, networks, or data. While
hacking is often associated with malicious activities, there are also ethical forms of hacking that are used
to improve cybersecurity and protect against threats.

In this introductory section, we will explore the fundamentals of hacking, including the different types of
hacking, the importance of ethical hacking, and the key techniques and tools used by hackers. By
understanding the principles of hacking, we can better defend against cyber attacks and ensure the
security of our digital systems.

As we progress through the deck, we will cover topics such as the various forms of hacking, the role of
ethical hackers, common hacking methodologies, and the essential cybersecurity concepts that every
individual and organization should be aware of. By the end of this presentation, you will have a solid
understanding of the world of hacking and how to navigate it safely and responsibly.

Hacking involves using computer systems and networks in innovative and often unauthorized ways. This
can range from ethical security research to malicious attacks. Regardless of the intent, hacking requires a
deep understanding of technology, problem-solving skills, and a curious mindset.
