Types of Hacker?

Hacking can be categorized into three main types:

1. White Hat Hacking: Also known as ethical hacking, white hat hacking involves authorized individuals or security professionals who use their skills to identify vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks, or software. They work with the permission of the system owner to help improve security and protect against malicious attacks.

2. Black Hat Hacking: Black hat hackers are individuals who engage in unauthorized activities with malicious intent. They exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks, or software for personal gain, such as stealing sensitive information, causing damage, or disrupting services. Black hat hacking is illegal and unethical.

3. Grey Hat Hacking: Grey hat hackers fall somewhere in between white hat and black hat hackers. They may exploit vulnerabilities without authorization but without malicious intent. Grey hat hackers often notify system owners of the vulnerabilities they discover, sometimes demanding a fee or recognition in return.
