1. History of Hacking

2. Types of Hackers

Hacking!

Hacking emerged in the 1960s, initially as playful exploration of early computer systems, but later evolved into a means of accessing unauthorized information.

White Hat Hackers

White hat hackers are ethical experts who use their skills to identify vulnerabilities in systems, helping organizations strengthen their security.

Grey Hat Hackers

Grey hat hackers operate in a morally ambiguous space, often breaching systems without explicit permission, but with no malicious intent.

Black Hat Hackers

Black hat hackers are malicious actors who exploit vulnerabilities for personal gain, often involving theft, espionage, or disruption of services.

Types of Hackers

Ethical Hacking vs Unethical Hacking

Ethical Hacking

Ethical hacking, conducted with consent, aims to bolster security.

Unethical Hacking

Unethical hacking breaches systems without authorization, often for personal gain or malintent.

Hacking and Cybersecurity

White hat hackers work to fortify defenses, grey hats serve as a gray area of exploration, and black hats pose threats. Together, they form a dynamic that fuels the evolution of cybersecurity.
