Ethical Hacking

Ethical Hacking
Ethical hacking is the computer and networking expert who is able to penetrate the computer system or network. There are two types of ethical hacker:

1.White Hat
These are the hackers who works on behalf of the computer system or network owners for the purpose of finding security vulnerabilities that a malicious hacker could potentially exploit.
2.Black Hat
These are the malicious hackers who hack the computer system or network for their own purpose.These are the illegal hackers.


These white hats and black hats are derived from the old western movies where the "good guy" always wear the white hat where as the "bad guy" always wear the black hat.

Why Ethical Hackers are needed (White Hat) ?
Ethical hackers are needed because they test the system and prevent the system owners fro getting hacked.For eg : Pro Hackerz were used to test the local advert system which made the server almost unhackable.


Nowadays every computer system or network are using ethical hackers to hack their own system and give them the chance to improve their mistakes.
