Ethical Hacking Discription and Hackers type

Ethical Hacker

                                       An ethical hacker is a computer and networking expert who systematically attempts to penetration testing a computer system or network on behalf of its owners for the purpose of finding security vulnerabilities that a malicious hacker could potentially exploit.

4 Types of hacker motivations

1. White Hat Hacker

                                     A Black Hat Hacker is computer guy who performs Unethical Hacking. These are the Criminal Hackers or Crackers

who use their skills and knowledge for illegal or malicious purposes. They break into or otherwise violate the
system integrity of remote machines, with malicious intent.


 These are also known as an Unethical Hacker or a Security Cracker. They focus on Security Cracking and Data
stealing.

3. Grey Hat Hacker
                                  A Grey Hat Hacker is a Computer guy who sometimes acts legally, sometimes in good will, and sometimes not.

They usually do not hack for personal gain or have malicious intentions, but may or may not occasionally commit
crimes during the course of their technological exploits.


They are hybrid between White Hat and Black Hat Hackers.


4. Script Kiddies
                            Next and the most dangerous class of Hackers is Script kiddies, They are the new generation of users of computer
who take advantage of the Hacker tools and documentation available for free on the Internet but don’t have any
knowledge of what’s going on behind the scenes. 
They know just enough to cause you headaches but typically are
very sloppy in their actions, leaving all sorts of digital fingerprints behind.
Even though these guys are the teenage
Hackers that you hear about in the news media, they need minimum skills to carry out their attacks.

Script Kiddies are the bunnies who use script and programs developed by others to attack computer systems and
Networks.
 They get the least respect but are most annoying and dangerous and can cause big problems without
actually knowing what they are doing.
