ABSTRACT
Hacking has become a widespread problem with the onset of the digital age and the nearly universal access to the internet and other digital media. It is important for individuals, corporations, and the government to protect themselves from being vulnerable to such attacks. The purpose of this paper is to provide detailed information regarding the practices of hacking and ethical hacking, as well as to discuss the ethical nature of teaching computer students how to hack in an attempt to strengthen their skills in the field of information systems security.
