ETHICAL HACKING

The paper presents a Fingerprint-Based Attendance Management System for university environments, addressing the challenges of impersonation, ghost worker syndrome, and student attendance management. The system enrolls and authenticates users by capturing their fingerprints and extracting distinctive minutiae points for identification. The data is stored in a database, and the system then verifies identity before marking attendance. Implemented with Microsoft’s C# and SQL Server 2005, the system has a 97.4% accuracy level, providing a secure and reliable solution to prevent impersonation.This research paper explores ethical hacking and penetration testing within the context of today’s cybersecurity landscape. In the current world where cyber attack has become serious issue. Ethical hacking, which can be studied prior and then applied on real world applications and software so that the data cannot be exploited and misuse. By conducting survey and doing research we have found many new tools and technique that are used in ethical hacking
