Hacking is a word by which we think something bad is happening. Is it true? Yes, it is true but not completely true because all hackers are not same. Some hackers are good hackers and some are bad. There are different types of hackers. First ones are white hat hackers. They are generally known as good hackers. The second ones are black hat hackers. They are generally known as bad hackers. Lastly, there are those hackers who lie between white and black hat hackers, they are known as grey hat hackers. Let’s discuss them. Black hat hackers are those hackers who will do damage to others for their own benefits. For example, hacking of servers, hack and leaking the other’s data, blackmailing, etc. Black hat hackers get into the system without any permission to do some damage for their own benefits. Now, talking about the white hat hackers, white hat hackers are those hackers who will take permission to check whether the system is strong or powerful enough to secure itself from other hackers and they also check the system is crackable or not. White hat hackers are also known as ethical hackers because they take permission to check and secure the system.

 Big company’s like Apple, Google, Facebook pay 1000s of dollar as a reward if anyone highlighting the problem in the system and they will say to the company that there is the problem in code or there is a loophole, then the company give reward for this and they can also give job as a white-hat hacker for the security of the system. Now talking about grey hat hackers, they don’t have the wrong intention of damaging the system or for making money, but they don’t take permission and they will hack the system just for fun with their own skills. They don’t have the wrong intention and they also don’t take permission. So, they are neither called black hat hackers nor called white hat hackers. They are known as grey hat hackers. Ethical hacking is a very good field for future, even from previous years, there is a large scope in this. If you belong to this field, you will be an ethical hacker, you have to do some courses and if your skills are good, then you can go for the job in a good company and also make money by doing ethical hacking. Ethical hacking is properly a legal process because you take permission before hacking it and black or grey hat hackers are properly illegal. So, this is all about hacking.
