Ethical vs. Unethical hacking
Three Forms Relation
Resources:
A Brief History of Hacking : Hacking, originating at MIT in the 1960s, began as innovative tech exploration. Over time, its scope expanded, leading to diverse ethical stances and intents in the digital realm.
White Hat Hackers: White Hat hackers are ethical professionals who identify vulnerabilities in systems to improve security, often working with organizations to fix flaws and strengthen defenses.
Grey Hat Hackers : Grey Hat hackers operate in the ethical gray area, identifying vulnerabilities without explicit permission but often revealing them to the affected parties, sometimes seeking rewards.
Black Hat Hackers : Black Hat hackers exploit vulnerabilities for personal or financial gain, malicious intent, or harm, often leading to data breaches, system disruptions, or cybercrimes.
Ethical vs. Unethical hacking: Ethical hacking aims to improve security, with permission and positive intent. Unethical hacking seeks personal gain, disruption, or harm, often violating laws and ethical standards.
How all three forms of hacking relate to Cyber Security: All hacking forms influence cybersecurity. White Hats enhance defense mechanisms, while Black Hats create threats, requiring stronger security measures. Grey Hats, though ambiguous, highlight vulnerabilities, pushing for improvements. Together, they shape cybersecurity strategies, tools, and policies, driving the need for constant evolution in the face of emerging threats.
