HACKERS

How many of us even know what hackers mean, what they do, and why they are called hackers.
there are basically three types of hackers.
they are
1- White hat hackers
2- Grey hat hackers
3- Black hat hackers
.

WHITE HAT HACKERS
These are ethical hackers who use their programming skills for good, ethical, and legal purposes. White-hat hackers may perform network penetration tests in an attempt to compromise networks and systems by using their knowledge of computer security systems to discover network vulnerabilities. Security vulnerabilities are reported to developers for them to fix before the vulnerabilities can be threatened. Some organizations award prizes or bounties to white hat hackers when they inform them of a vulnerability.

GREY HAT HACKERS

These are individuals who commit crimes and do arguably unethical things, but not for personal gain or to cause damage. An example would be someone who compromises a network without permission and then discloses the vulnerability publicly. A grey hat hacker may disclose a vulnerability to the affected organization after having compromised their network. This allows the organization to fix the problem.

BLACK HAT HACKERS

These are unethical criminals who violate computer and network security for personal gain, or for malicious reasons such as attacking networks. Black-hat hackers exploit vulnerabilities to compromise computer and network systems.

There are also some set of people classified as AMATEURS

Amateurs – These people are sometimes called Script Kiddies. They are usually attackers with little or no skill, often using existing tools or instructions found on the Internet to launch attacks. Some of them are just curious, while others are trying to demonstrate their skills and cause harm. They may be using basic tools, but the results can still be devastating.
