Grey Hat Hackers

Grey Hat Hackers operate in a morally ambiguous space. They may exploit security flaws without permission but often do so to raise awareness or offer assistance in fixing issues.

Black Hat Hackers

Black Hat Hackers engage in illegal activities, seeking personal gain through malicious actions. They exploit vulnerabilities to steal data, disrupt services, or compromise systems for financial profit.
