HACKERS IN THE DIGITAL WORLD

Hacking usually calls for unauthorized access to the network or computer; often done by 'hackers.' However, the shooter can be who he is. They can be someone like you or me. They can work alone or be employed by an organization that has the motive to disrupt something or cause chaos - unnecessarily. Usually, they are looking at changing security systems to achieve their purpose, which is different from the purpose of the program itself.

There are also many organizations that hire hackers as part of their staff. These spies use their skills to detect faults, vulnerable areas, and weak spots in the organization's security system. This is to identify and correct weaknesses and to prevent dangerous hackers from breaking into the security system.

Types of Hackers

Types of Hackers

White, black, and grey refers to the relationship between the hacker and the systems they attack.

 

'Black Hat’

The term “black hat” came from Western films, where the bad guys wore black hats and the good guys wore white hats.

The black-hat importer is someone who tries to gain unauthorized access to the system or network to exploit them for malicious reasons. The black hat does not have the authority or authority to compromise its goals. They try to do damage by compromising security programs, changing the functions of websites and networks, or shutting down systems. They often do it to steal or gain access to passwords, financial information, and other personal information.

 

'White Hat'

On the other hand, hackers in white hats are considered good guys, working with organizations to strengthen system security. The white hat has permission to engage the target and limit it according to the rules of engagement.

White hack hackers are often called moral hackers. This person specializes in tools of illegal behaviour, methods, and methods to protect the organization's information systems.

 

Unlike hack hackers, ethical hackers use security networks and are looking for intruders where they are legally allowed to do so. White hackers often point out all the drawbacks they have of the company's security system so that it can be repaired before the perpetrators are victimized.

Other Fortune 50 companies such as Facebook, Microsoft, and Google also use hackers.

 

'Grey Hat'

Grey hats use networks and computer systems like the way black hats are, but they do so without violent intent, exposing all victims and weaknesses to law enforcement agencies or intelligence agencies.

Usually, grey-hat hackers get into the net and break into computer systems to notify the host or owner that their system / network contains one or more threats that must be corrected immediately. Grey hats can also rob the victim, offering to repair the billing feature.

So, which type of hacker are you?
