Welcome to the second tutorial for the Ethical Hacking Course, In my previous tutorial I posted about "Introduction To Hacking" there we discussed what is hacking.? and about hackers and crackers so continuing my Ethical Hacking Course here we are going to discuss about types of hackers,their mind sets and the community.
In every community and fields there are different-different types of people like the good ones who believe in helping and protecting, and the bad ones who love troubling other by their activities and their work which put them into the trouble sometimes, and the neutral ones who are bit of both good and bad. Same-thing goes with the hackers they can also be categorized in several types.
How Many Types Of Hackers Are There?
According to me and most of the other hackers there are three main types of hackers, but the community is growing so is the category. We will start from the three major type first then talk about the new groups taking place in hacking community
1) White Hat Or Ethical Hackers.
These are legal or good hackers who works for a company's cyber security. they work on a deal with a company to test the security level of systems present in the company and to make the systems secured and safe from evil hackers.
2) Black Hat Hackers Or Crackers
Cyber thieves/criminals responsible for stealing document, passwords, defacing websites, making viruses and doing all those illegal work which is done online. You can easily find them in jail.
3) Grey Hat Hackers
Hackers who work for the cyber security companies but don't mind violating laws for some extra cash, they generally don't commit any big crime but always ready to do some small ones, Grey hats are also the most most active among the other.
Other Types Of Hackers
-Script Kiddies: Someone how don't want to learn things just use the easy way out, Script Kiddies are the same they just don't want to learn how the hacks are functioned and what does the tools do. Kiddies just copy others code use tools made by others and pretends to be a professional hacker.
-Hacktivist: Probably the robin hood in the community, Hacktivist mainly does hacking on the Social-Political issues, They are the controversy king.
-Green Hats: The beginners the one who loves to learn everything, they are the one who want be become a professional hacker and far better than script kiddies because they don't complain when the tutorial works properly insted they try to find where it got wrong.
All the above types of hackers use the same process called hacking just their motives are different you decide what you wanna be , continue reading my ethical hacking course for more on learning hacking. For any questions and query please comment
