Hacking is typically viewed as ethical when there is no malicious intent and the hacker has the proper permissions. This is typically associated with white hat and sometimes grey hat hackers. Unethical hacking is usually associated with black and sometimes grey hat hackers.
Ethical vs. unethical hacking
All three types of hackers play a role in cybersecurity today. Black and sometimes grey hat hackers are what those in the field of cybersecurity strive to protect people from. They aim to identify and protect against these attacks before they are able to cause harm. On the other hand, white and sometimes grey hat hackers are able to identify the vulnerabilities in a system before someone with malicious intentions has an opportunity to exploit them.
Hacking and cybersecurity
White hat hackers are people who only hack into things they have permission for. They are usually what we know as penetration testers, and can help companies discover vulnerabilities in their systems.
