1. Ethical hacking involves legally accessing a computer system or network to test security by finding vulnerabilities. It is done with permission and as part of an overall security program.
2. The process of ethical hacking involves preparation, footprinting, identification of vulnerabilities through techniques like port scanning, and then reporting findings to the organization without causing damage.
