What is Hacking
• Hacking refers to exploiting system vulnerabilities and compromising
security controls to gain unauthorized access to the system.
Eg:- Stealing, disclosure of Sensitive information
Why Hack Happens?
• ATTACKS = MOTIVE (GOAL) + METHOD + VULNERABILITY
• MOTIVE: - Information theft, manipulating data, Financial loss,
Revenge, Ransom, Damaging Reputation.
Ethical Hacking
• Ethical Hacking involves the use of hacking tools, tricks, and
techniques to identify vulnerability so as to ensure system security.
• Ethical Hackers performs security assessment of their organization
with the permission of concerned authorities
In simple - Ethical hacking involves an authorized attempt to gain
unauthorized access to a computer system, application, or data.
Carrying out an ethical hack involves duplicating strategies and
actions of malicious attackers. ... Also known as “white hats,” ethical
hackers are security experts that perform these assessments

Type of Hackers
Black hat
Black hats are hackers who use their knowledge and skills to
discover and exploit security vulnerabilities for financial
gain or malicious reasons. Their activities can cause major
damage to their targets and their systems. Black hats are
usually involved with criminal activities such as stealing
personal and financial information or shutting down
websites and networks.

, White hat
White hats are ethical hackers who use their knowledge and
skills to improve security of a system by discovering
vulnerabilities before black hats do. They pretty much use
the same methods and tools black hats do, but unlike black
hats, white hats have a permission of the system owner to use
those methods.
Grey hat
Grey hats are hackers who are not as bad as black hats, but
also not as ethical as white hats. They might help black hats
in their endeavors, but they also might help in discovering
vulnerabilities or checking the limitations of a system.
Suicide hackers
Suicide hackers are ready and willing to perform an attack
for a “cause”, even if they get caught and prosecuted.
Script kiddies
Script kiddies are hackers who are new to hacking and don’t
have much knowledge or skills to perform hacks. Instead,
they use tools and scripts developed by more experienced
hackers.
