With the increasingly use of computer and explosive growth of the Internet has brought many good things: electronic commerce, on-line banking, e-mail, video conferencing etc. The improvement of systems security to prevent criminal hacker has become an important concern to society. There are many ways to protect those information systems; it seems that the Ethical Hacking is a better way. Therefore, whether to teach or not teach the "Ethical Hacking" as a course in Tertiary education has become an interesting argument.
With the present poor security on the Internet, Ethical Hacking may be the most effective way to fill security holes and prevent intrusions.
Therefore, it is inappropriate to teach Ethical Hacking as a course in Tertiary education.
