The Complete Ethical Hacking Bootcamp: Beginner To Advanced - Hacking Terminology

This video tutorial introduces basic networking and hacking terms essential for understanding ethical hacking. It covers footprinting, scanning, enumeration, system hacking, malware, social engineering, denial of service, SQL injection, Wi-Fi hacking, mobile hacking, and cryptography. Each topic is explained theoretically, with practical applications to be covered in future lectures. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts for ethical hacking and cybersecurity.

What is the primary goal of footprinting in ethical hacking?

• To attack a network directly

• To encrypt sensitive data

• To gather as much information as possible about a target

• To install malware on a target system

Which tool is commonly used for scanning networks to discover open ports and services?

• Nmap

• Shodan

• Wireshark

• Harvester

What is a backdoor in the context of system hacking?

• A program that provides unauthorized access to a system

• A tool for scanning networks

• A type of malware that deletes files

• A method to encrypt data

Which of the following is NOT a type of malware?

• Virus

• Firewall

• Trojan

• Worm

What is the main purpose of sniffing in network security?

• To encrypt data

• To capture and analyze network packets

• To scan for open ports

• To install backdoors

Social engineering primarily targets which aspect of security?

• Hardware components

• Human psychology

• Software vulnerabilities

• Network infrastructure

What is the main objective of a denial of service attack?

• To gain unauthorized access to a system

• To encrypt sensitive data

• To steal user credentials

• To crash a website or service by overwhelming it with traffic

SQL injection exploits vulnerabilities in what type of input?

• Operating system commands

• Encrypted data

• User input fields

• Network packets

Which method is more efficient for cracking Wi-Fi passwords, CPU or GPU?

• Neither, both are equally efficient

• GPU

• It depends on the Wi-Fi protocol

• CPU

What is the primary function of cryptography in cybersecurity?

• To scan networks for vulnerabilities

• To encrypt and protect information

• To install malware on systems

• To perform denial of service attacks
