Who are Ethical Hacker…?
An ethical hacker is a computer and network expert who attacks a security system on behalf of its owners, seeking vulnerabilities that a malicious hacker could exploit.
To test a security system, ethical hackers use the same methods as their less principled counterparts, but report problems instead of taking advantage of them.

What can an intruder see on the target systems?
What can an intruder do with that information?
