Ethical hacking is when computer experts use their skills for good. They look for weak spots in computers, networks, and websites – kind of like a safety check – before bad hackers can take advantage of them.
How it works:
- Ethical hackers pretend to be cybercriminals so they can discover security problems.
- They write down everything they find and tell the company, school or organisation so the problems can be fixed quickly.
- They follow strict rules and always have permission, so they never do anything illegal.
- By using their knowledge and being responsible, ethical hackers help protect people’s data, keep computer systems safe and stop real cybercriminals.
Ethical hacking is really important because it helps everyone stay one step ahead of real hackers and makes the internet a safer place for all of us!
