Sample text
If you’re an independent consultant or have a business with a team of ethical hackers, consider getting professional liability insurance (also known as errors and omissions insurance) from an insurance agent who specializes in business insurance coverage. This kind of insurance can be expensive, but will be well worth the expense if something goes awry and you need protection. Many customers even require the insurance before they’ll hire you to do the work. 36 Part I: Building the Foundation for Ethical Hacking Establishing Your Goals Your ethical hacking plan needs goals.
Many tools focus on specific tests, and no tool can test for everything. For the same reason you wouldn’t drive a nail with a screwdriver, don’t use a word processor to scan your network for open ports. This is why you need a set of specific tools for the task. The more (and better) tools you have, the easier your ethical hacking efforts are. Make sure you’re using the right tool for the task: ✓ To crack passwords, you need cracking tools, such as ophcrack and Proactive Password Auditor. A general port scanner, such as SuperScan or Nmap, won’t work for cracking passwords and rooting out detailed vulnerabilities.
I cover the pros, cons, do’s, and don’ts associated with hiring an ethical hacker in Chapter 18. Formulating your plan Getting approval for ethical hacking is essential. Make sure that what you’re doing is known and visible — at least to the decision makers. Obtaining sponsorship of the project is the first step. Sponsorship could come from your manager, an executive, your client, or even yourself if you’re the boss. You need someone to back you up and sign off on your plan. Otherwise, your testing might be called off unexpectedly if someone claims you were never authorized to perform the tests.
