		<description><![CDATA[After finding potential security holes, test whether they are vulnerabilities. Before you test, perform some manual searching. You can research hacker message boards, Web sites, and vulnerability databases, such as these:    Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (cve.mitre.org/cve)  CERT/CC Vulnerability Notes Database (www.kb.cert.org/vuls)  NIST ICAT Metabase (icat.nist.gov/icat.cfm)   These sites list practically every [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The required security-assessment tools (hacking tools) depend on the tests you’re running. You can perform some ethical hacking tests with a pair of sneakers, a telephone, and a basic workstation on the network. However, comprehensive testing is easier with hacking tools. Not only do you need an arsenal of tools, but you should also use [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hacking styles vary widely:  Some hackers prepare far in advance of a large attack. They gather small bits of information and methodically carry out their hacks. These hackers are more difficult to track.    Other hackers — usually, the inexperienced script kiddies — act before they think things through. For example, such hackers [...]]]></description>

Hacking is a casual hobby for some hackers — they just hack to see what they can and can’t break into, usually testing only their own systems.   Many hackers get a kick out of outsmarting corporate and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As with any project, if you don’t have the right tools for ethical hacking, accomplishing the task effectively is difficult. Having said that, just because you use the right tools doesn’t mean that you will discover all vulnerabilities. Know the personal and technical limitations. Many security-assessment tools generate false positives and negatives (incorrectly identifying vulnerabilities). [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like practically any IT or security project, ethical hacking needs to be planned in advance. Strategic and tactical issues in the ethical hacking process should be determined and agreed upon. Planning is important for any amount of testing — from a simple password-cracking test to an all-out penetration test on a Web application.   Formulating [...]]]></description>

Hackers enjoy exploring and learning how computer systems operate.
