TYPES OF HACKERS

                                MAINLY HACKERS ARE OF THREE TYPES
>>> WHITE HAT.
>>> BLACK HAT.
>>> GREY HAT.

WHITE HAT :White Hats are the good guys, the ethical hackers who use their hacking skills for
defensive purposes. White-hat hackers are usually security professionals with knowledge of hacking and the hacker tool set and who use this knowledge to locate weaknesses and implement.
countermeasures.

BLACK HAT : Black hats are the bad guys: the malicious hackers or
crackers who use their skills for illegal or malicious purposes. They break into or otherwise violate the system integrity of remote machines, with malicious intent. Having gained unauthorized access, black-hat hackers
destroy vital data, deny legitimate users service, and basically cause problems for their targets.
Black-hat hackers and crackers can easily be differentiated from white-hat hackers because their
actions are malicious

GREY HAT :Grey hats are hackers who may work offensively or defensively, depending on the situation.
This is the dividing line between hacker and cracker. Both are powerful forces on the Internet,
and both will remain permanently. And some individuals qualify for both categories. The
existence of such individuals further clouds the division between these two groups of people...
