“…Hacking is a criminal activity associated with hackers, highlighting the ethical basis of teaching students to hack. Earlier researchers described hackers as technologically savvy individuals with remarkable skills related to the operation of computer systems (Sinha and Arora, 2020, p. 4). The definition would later change as the negative effects of hacking became widespread in modern society.…”

“…A growing number of organizations are resorting to digital solutions to safeguard their systems and avoid the costly effects of hacking. Nevertheless, the regularity and complexity of cyberattacks have significantly advanced as corporations pursue fresh Web-based systems, while hackers outwit cybersecurity departments (Sinha and Arora, 2020). As such, ethical hacking has received special attention in the recent past as a promising deterrent strategy.…”

Purpose Malicious hackers are increasingly evolving with technology by developing advanced tools to infiltrate. They are looking at micro laundering via sites like PayPal or using job advertising sites, to avoid exposure. Micro laundering makes it possible to launder a large amount of money in small amounts through thousands of electronic transactions. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to examine whether the ethical hacking pedagogy is both a feasible and effective approach to prepare information security professionals of the future to combat black hat hacking and other forms of unethical conduct in the cyberspace. Design/methodology/approach The paper will specifically explore the ethics and implications of teaching students how to hack. It examines the strengths and limitations of the ethical hacking pedagogy. The discussion will then form the basis for exploring whether ethical hacking pedagogy is logical and justifiable. Findings The research has examined whether the ethical hacking pedagogy is an initiative-taking and effective approach to preparing information security professionals. Teaching students to hack is the only feasible approach to preparing future cybersecurity professionals because such training will allow them to master technical skills necessary for penetration testing. Originality/value A dominant theme that emerged from the research is the inability to evaluate students’ intention and provide oversight after their graduation. Thus, professional networks and peer groups will play an instrumental role in sustaining students in an environment that fosters ethical conduct.

“…However, not everyone referred to as a hacker is a criminal. Those hackers who do not commit crimes are referred to as ethical hackers (Sinha & Arora, 2020). Penetration testers are white hat, ethical hackers, and they are hired by organizations to identify vulnerabilities in computer systems (Hatfield, 2019;Sinha & Arora, 2020).…”

Penetration testers are white hat, ethical hackers, and they are hired by organizations to identify vulnerabilities in computer systems (Hatfield, 2019;Sinha & Arora, 2020). Black hat hackers are the criminal hackers, and gray hat hackers fall in-between (Hatfield, 2019).…”

“…Crosston (2017) argues that cyber disobedience should be separated from other cyber crime. The goal of hackers is to obtain access to computer systems without being detected by the organization's defenses (Sinha & Arora, 2020). Hackers can use technical methods or using psychological techniques to obtain information from human victims (Sinha & Arora, 2020.…”
