Abstract

The use of computer systems and connect them via network and internet, leading to the creation of a real storm of problems in the computer's security. The increasing development of technology and the growing dependence of humans on a computer to do their vital work imply that future security problems may have more serious consequences than events have occurred to date.One of the most effective skills to establish security in cyberspace is hacking skills and break-in. Hack have various kinds that seem some of them are ethical and some are unethical.Some people say that as long as hack has not no serious damage, break-in can lead to development of system’s security. But many people disagree with this idea and believe that break-in is almost always damaging and wrong. Due to the impact of cyber security in everyday life on the one hand and on the other hand the importance of bioethics, in this paper we investigate the ethics of hacking.
