Difference between ethical hacking and security testing?
According to the EC-Council's Certified Ethical Hacker course documentation the two can be defined as follows; Penetration Testing:A goal-oriented project of which the goal is the trophy and includes gaining privileged access by pre-conditional means.Ethical Hacking:A penetration test of which the goal is to discover trophies throughout the network within the predetermined project time limit. For me reading that I would say difference is; a pen-test has a single goal (trophy) and strict procedures that have to be followed to get that trophy, and an ethical hack is a much larger beast that involves many goals or trophies, could last so long it needs to be time restricted, and in general has less limits. So a pen-test is "one goal, one process" and ethical hacking is "hack everything that can be hacked... ...ethically"
