Types Of Hackers...?

So Dear Readers now you have the idea of what is Hacking and Ethical Hacking from my previous posts . Well This blog will totally educate you and I am sure you will learn a lot from us.
So now how many types of hackers are out there ...?

Black Hat Hackers : Are also known as Crackers. They break into systems by finding loop holes i.e weak points in the system and steals the data , or inject malicious content which harms the system. Black hat hacker violates the laws of security. Black hat hackers got more attention due to media etc so nowadays people think that hacking is bad it causes harm , I will say it is but Ethical Hacking is somehow different from hacking and my readers must be clear by now and know the difference between two. Black hat hackers mostly end up to prison. So avoid Black hat hacking. Learn how to secure yourself but never try to harm others :-)

White Hat Hackers :  So who are they ? Basically a White hat hacker is a computer geek , computer specialist , has full command of the ins and outs of a computer system and has a deep knowledge of the architecture of the systems . White hat hacker breaks into systems by finding weak holes called vulnerabilities . There are many types of vulnerabilities which will be discussed after this post :-) . White hat hackers use their expert level skills to benefit people , society and save them from bad guys (Black Hats). White hat hackers finds the vulnerabilities (weak points) in the system before the black hat exploits them and report the vulnerabilities to the company , organization network security in charge or whatever concern authorities and tell them to secure their systems from being hacked. White hat hackers are also sometimes rewarded for this act through some bounty (money) , HOF (Hall of fame placed on the website), swags , gifts and many more. Last but not the least White hat hackers have skills equal to black hat hackers but they use it for good purpose and so they end up with good results , get good jobs as security has a scope in every field nowadays.

Grey Hat Hackers : They are also hackers and aware of all the techniques , have skills but they are at the middle means a Gray hat hacker can be a white hat or a black hat ..Confused ?? let me clear it this way Grey hat hacker is also called cracker but with no malicious intent to the system as black hat does but he tries to find the weak holes in systems and tries to secure the systems but due to publicizing the vulnerability he may lose the credit as a black hat can simply exploit that system which is now vulnerable to the public as the vulnerability is exposed .

Script Kiddie : Sounds like a kid .Actually he behaves like one means that a script kiddie is unaware of the architecture of the system but he uses some tools made by other hackers to exploit the vulnerability and to take over the system but he does not understand what is happening at the back end of the system . He does not know the ins and outs of network protocols , systems etc .

Spy Hacker : This guys can work individually or in a team .  Spy hacker steals sensitive( Contacts , records etc ) information of one company , firm and can sell it to other company , firm  for the sake of money.

Cyber Terrorist : Actually these guys are terrorists. They want to destroy all systems , can damage many internet users systems by sending worms , making Trojan attacks , Denial of service attacks and many more will be discussed in other posts .
