Ethical Hacking is considered to be the bright side of Hacking because it is used for the purpose of making Security better. But even if Ethical Hacking is legal, it is not completely safe for an Ethical Hacker, and hence, Anonymity is like a shield. In this video, I will tell you why Anonymity is important for an Ethical Hacker and how one can increase their Anonymity.
Why should I be anonymous while ethically hacking?
This is a common question I have been asked when I tell someone about being anonymous for Ethical Hacking. The answer to this is, “Because you are not alone”.Let me explain this in brief. If you are an Ethical Hacker, then the organization has given you permission and due to this, you might think that you are not in trouble. But keep in mind that while you are trying to find a vulnerability, there might be some other hacker in the network. And to protect yourself from that hacker, you need to be Anonymous.
You never know who else is in the same network that you are in. And if a Black hat hacker finds that there is someone else in the network, then he might try to hack your system. This is why Anonymity is important even for Ethical Hackers.
Now, that you know why Anonymity is necessary, let’s see how you can be anonymous.
How you be Anonymous?
In the below way, you can be anonymous with
