Physical Penetration testing is the new branch of cybersecurity where the physical security is measured, and its existing strength in an organization, firm, or lab is measured. Weaknesses are uncovered before cybercriminals do these exploitations.
Before getting into the very in-depth of every concept, it is recommended to clear the concepts and terminologies related to cybersecurity and cybercrime. Each of the terms has individual meaning and is used in different scenarios in this security field.
Twenty-five years ago, cybersecurity was not a conventional word in the vocabulary of IT. But it is now. In this chapter, you will get to know about the history of cybersecurity and how it came into existence.

"Darknet" or "Dark Net" is a lamination of a specific type of network which can only be retrieved by particular software, techniques, authorization, or configurations. It is often accessed using non-standard protocols and ports.
A botnet is a short form of 'robot network'. The term 'bot' is used when we have to define some automated tasks performed without user intervention. But as this term is used concerning hacking to describe a new breed of malicious threats, we will learn about it with every detail.
Rootkits are a collection of tools or sets of applications that allow the administrator-level access to a computer or a network. These rootkits are fed into the host computer by a cracker (malicious hacker) either by exploiting a known vulnerability of the system or cracking the password.
A computer virus is a program or a piece of code that is specifically designed to spread from computer systems to another computer and interfere with computer operation without the victim's knowledge.
System hacking is defined as the compromise of computer systems and software to access the target computer and steal or misuse their sensitive information. Here the malicious hacker exploits the weaknesses in a computer system or network to gain unauthorized access to its data or take illegal advantage.
