What is a logical manner?

Can you take what you learn from network security and use it in a negative manner?

• Answer:

  If this were true the worldssecurity systems would be screwed to hell and back. Computer security is a little different than what a cop does. A cop doesnt become a thief to understand what he does or break into mock homes to "recommend" how to secure an area. A computer security specialist does. You learn all the tools and techniques a hacker would use to look for common and not so common vulnerabilities. You need to know how to break through a wifi network, seek out loopholes, exploit errors in order to see how far the daisy chain goes so you can then go back and plug up all the loopholes you found so when someone DOES eventually try they wont have much success. You dont just learn theory, but actual practice. SO to answer your questio, ahving the tools a hacker would use can they be misused? Well a gun can be sued for hunting but also for murder. You have the tools to secure a building, whether you use them to break into systems and steal info is up to the person.
