6. White hat hackers
Additionally called ethical hackers, try to work within
the public's best interest, instead of to make turmoil.
Many white hat hackers work doing penetration
testing, hired to try to interrupt into the company's
networks to search out and report on security
vulnerabilities. The protection companies then help
their customers mitigate security problems before
criminal hackers will exploit them.

systems with malicious intent, whether or not to steal

8. Gary hat hackers
Fall somewhere between white hat hackers and black hat
hackers. Whereas their motives is also almost like those of
white hat hackers, grey hats are a lot of possible than white
hat hackers to access systems while not authorization; at
identical time, they're a lot of possible than black hat
hackers to avoid doing unneeded injury to the systems they
hack. Though they are not generally -- or solely -- actuated
by cash, Grey hat hackers could provide to fix vulnerabilities
they need discovered through their own, unauthorized,
activities instead of exploitation their information to use
vulnerabilities for illegal profit.
