EthicalHacking is the art and science of determining vulnerabilities withinthe existing network architecture. The idea of Ethical hacking is toput yourself in the shoes of the hacker and access and monitor theflaws in your own network. It is used to determine the security flawsin the network before the hacker does by using similar tools andtechniques as the hacker. If we go by what history has to tell us,Hackers have always been many steps ahead of network securityprofessionals therefore it definitely makes a lot of sense to beprepared.
