Hacking History

Hacking began as a creative and innovative practice in the 1960s, evolving from a way to solve problems using technology to include illegal cyber activities.

White Hat Hackers

White hat hackers use their skills for ethical purposes, helping organizations identify and fix vulnerabilities to improve their cybersecurity defenses and protect data.

Ethical vs. Unethical Hacking

Ethical hacking is authorized, focusing on strengthening security, while unethical hacking involves exploiting weaknesses for malicious purposes or unauthorized personal gain.

Black Hat Hackers

Black hat hackers exploit vulnerabilities for personal gain, engaging in illegal activities such as data theft, malware distribution, and causing network disruptions

How All Three Forms of Hacking Relate to Cyber Security

White, grey, and black hat hacking all influence cybersecurity. White hats improve security by fixing flaws, grey hats reveal vulnerabilities that need attention, and black hats pose threats that drive advancements in defense mechanisms. Together, these activities shape the ongoing battle between securing and exploiting systems.

Grey Hat Hackers

Grey hat hackers operate in the ethical gray area, finding security flaws without malicious intent but may access systems without permission before disclosing issues.
