This paper analyzes a variety of Challenging Roles of Ethical Hacking employed in Cyber Security. The requirement for more viable requesting data security rehearses is progressively evident with every security encroaches revealed in the media. Ethical hacking set forward a target investigation of an association's data security bearing for associations of numerous phase of security capability. Programmers must output for shortcomings, test section focuses, needs targets, and build up a procedure that best use their assets. The reason for this sort of security appraisal directly affects the estimation of the entire assessment. More finished it is recognized that electronic devices are fundamental to forestall digital culprits hacking into online systems to contain their administrations and access secret information for uncalled for purposes. Ethical Hacking is capably required where approved programmers endeavor to penetrate a business' frameworks/arranges for the benefit of the proprietors with the goal of discovering security shortcomings. It give bits of knowledge into how Ethical Hacking, as Penetration Testing utilizing free open source devices, can be utilized by associations to secure their system's administrations/activities. Utilizing Nmap, Google Hacking, Nessus, Brutus and Acunetix .Thus measures were placed in to determine these vulnerabilities and dodge the delicate information from potential digital threats.

Penetration testing is an effort to attack a system using similar techniques and tools adopted by real hackers. The ultimate goal of penetration testing is to call to light as many existing vulnerabilities as possible, then come up with practical solutions to remediate the problems; thus, enhance the system security as a whole. The paper introduces concepts and definitions related to penetration testing, together with different models and methodologies to conduct a penetration test. A wide range of penetration testing state-of-the-art, as well as related tools (both commercial and free open source available on the market) are also presented in relatively rich details.

ObjectiveAn intranet portal that combines cost-free, open-source software technology with easy set-up features can be beneficial for daily hospital processes. We describe the short-term adoption rates of a costless content management system (CMS) in the intranet of a tertiary Greek hospital.DesignDashboard statistics of our CMS platform were the implementation assessment of our system.ResultsIn a period of 10 months of running the software, the results indicate the employees overcame ‘Resistance to Change’ status. The average growth rate of end users who exploit the portal services is calculated as 2.73 every 3.3 months.ConclusionWe found our intranet web-based portal to be acceptable and helpful so far. Exploitation of an open-source CMS within the hospital intranet can influence healthcare management and the employees’ way of working as well.

The thermography as a methodology to quantitative data acquisition is not usually addressed in the degrees of university programs. The present manuscript proposes a novel approach for the acquisition of advanced competences in engineering courses associated with the use of thermographic images via free/open-source software solutions. This strategy is established from a research based on the statistical and three-dimensional visualization techniques over thermographic imagery to improve the interpretation and comprehension of the different sources of error affecting the measurements and, thereby, the conclusions and analysis arising from them. The novelty is focused on the detection of non-normalities in thermographic images, which is illustrates in the experimental section. Additionally, the specific workflow for the generation of learning material related with this aim is raised for asynchronous and e-learning programs. These virtual materials can be easily deployed in an institutional learning management system, allowing the students to work with the models by means of free/open-source solutions easily. Subsequently, the present approach will give new tools to improve the application of professional techniques, will improve the students’ critical sense to know how to interpret the uncertainties in thermography using a single thermographic image, therefore they will be better prepared to face future challenges with more critical thinking.
