Before going to start Ethical Hacking lets know
what does Hacking actually mean?
Most of us has an bad views on hackers that they
steal bank accounts,hack website,hack email-password etc.... But in real
hackers are the computer and internet geek ,they know the basics for
hardware,software,coding programs of how they works internally and externally.
Hackers are of three types:-
1)Whitehat (EthicalHackers):-These hackers are
considered as the good guys they use their skills to discover vulnerabilities,
to protect any organization or any companies on their written permission just
like police security personnel does.
2)Blackhat:-These hackers are considered as bad
guys they do just the opposite what the whitehat hackers do,they compromise
sensitive information, they try to steal bank account, hack an unauthorised
website they act like an thief .
3)Greyhat:-These hackers are somewhere
intermediary between whitehat and blackhat hackers.They will neither illegally
exploit it, nor tell others how to do so.They have skill like whitehat but
break into the system without permission.
