Abstract Ethical hacking, or white-hat hacking, has become a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity, offering proactive measures to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in systems, networks, and applications. This comprehensive review explores the advancements in ethical hacking techniques and tools, emphasizing their critical role in bolstering cybersecurity defences. Key phases of ethical hacking include network reconnaissance, vulnerability assessment, exploitation, social engineering, web application testing, and wireless security testing. Each phase employs specialized techniques to uncover weaknesses, such as port scanning, penetration testing, and phishing simulations, which help organizations understand their security posture. It discusses the techniques used in each phase of ethical hacking and provides an overview of the tools employed by ethical hackers to assess and enhance the security posture of organizations. By leveraging these techniques and tools, ethical hackers play a crucial role in proactively identifying and addressing security weaknesses, thereby mitigating the risk of cyber threats and enhancing overall cybersecurity resilience.
Keywords Ethical hacking, web application testing, wireless security testing, cybersecurity resilience.
