The document provides an overview of hacking, defining it as the exploitation of computer system weaknesses. It classifies hackers into categories based on their intent—ethical (white hat), non-malicious (grey hat), and malicious (black hat)—and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of hacking, including security testing and the potential for unauthorized access.

Often referred to as “ethical hackers”, white-hat hackers make the choice the use their knowledge and
abilities for good, instead of evil.
In some cases, white-hat hackers are paid employees or contractors that are hired to work for companies
as security experts. This type of white-hat hackers is usually referred to as a penetration tester, whose
job it is to find vulnerabilities in the computer infrastructure by hacking into it.
Typically, white-hat hackers use the exact same hacking techniques that a black-hat hacker would;
however, the main difference between the two is that white-hats hack into computer systems with
explicit permission from the system’s owner, making the process legal.
Essentially, white-hat hackers test security systems that are already in place to see where they can be
improved.

16. Life threats for Black Hat Hackers
• There’s no way around it: black hat hackers are criminals, and with damages mounting and
these crimes gaining increased attention, it won’t be long before cyber criminals are fully
lumped in with your run-of-the-mill criminals ranging from pickpockets and burglars to white
collar fraudsters in the eyes of the public.
• Breaking the law, after all, is breaking the law, no matter how comfortable and convenient the
internet has made some of those illegal activities.But just because someone once dabbled (or
more than dabbled) in black hat hacking doesn’t mean he or she has to be considered a criminal
for life.
• People with hacking skills – even those with black hat hacking pasts, like infamous Anonymous
hacker Hector Monsegur – are being fervently sought by businesses and organizations who
want to put those skills to use in securing their own networks and systems.
• Hackers using their powers for good to try and break into target systems in order to better
secure those systems are considered white hat hackers or ethical hackers, and with an ethical
hacker

17. Conclusion
You need to stay as a White Hat Hacker which means you need to work within given
boundaries. Never intrude or attack any computer or network without a required
permission from the authorities.
As a final note, it is highly recommended that you refrain from engaging yourself in
black hat hacking which may spoil your entire career.
