Nmap From an Ethical Hacker's Point of View

Posted by kdawson on from the think-like-the-bad-guys-do dept.

ddonzal notes a new tutorial that introduces Nmap from the viewpoint of an ethical hacker. (Part 1 of 2 parts is up now.) The author is Kirby Tucker, who writes: "After completing this 2 Part Series and having practiced the techniques described, one should not only be able to sit at a 'roundtable' with advanced security professionals and 'hold their own' in a discussion concerning Nmap, but also utilize this great tool in protecting their own network."

    Unethical hacker is really redundant, don't you think? All burglars are unethical, right? All rapists are unethical, right? Is there such a thing as a non-unethical hacker? That is like a non-unethical rapist, or an "ethical rapist", right?

    If there is such a thing as an "ethical hacker" tell me how somebody can hack into a system and yet remain ethical? Do they wipe their proverbial feet before entering via some exploit in your PHP stack? Do they `nice` all their rootkits to run at a low priority? Do they gzip all their warez before XDCC'ing them to their buddies?

    So, I dare ask you, how *can* you be an ethical hacker?
