By reading his introduction you will be able to know wide difference about ethical hacking or white hat, black hat and gray hat.

In today generation security increasing day by day people are aware of it. if hacking is used in negatively then it can be more dangerous even than any harmful weapon.

In 1960, First Computer was used in some illegal ways. 1960 Massachusetts Institute got first individual using computer in different way and from that day universe gives it new name to that person as Hacker. After this slowly and gradually increases uses of computer in different manner.

In 1970 another person came in front of everyone, who invented device that hack telephonic system.

He invented device name blue boxtone generator with the help of whch free calls could be done from any place of the world. Phreaking was introduced to the masses when esquire magazine published a story called Secrets of the Little Blue Box. By this manner number of phreakers are increasing in whole world.

After 1980 phreaker started attracting towards the internet. They started to make their own bulletin board on internet. In Bulletin Board is such a website in which any internet user can share their knowledge to join bulletin board website. From that internet users increasing and these type of bulletin board user increasing.new methods and research exchanged worldwide.

1. White Hat Hacker

2. Black Hat Hacker

3. Gray Hat Hacker

A hacker can be a wiz kid who spends too much time with computers and suddenly finds himself submerged in the world of cybersecurity or criminal conspirators. On the other hand, he can be a master criminal who wants to obtain huge amounts of money for him, or even worse, dominate the world. In the movie Matrix, the concept of hackers changed a bit. Although the agents of the Matrix considered them terrorists, the truth is that they were rebels fighting for the liberty of humanity. Things do not need to reach that extreme, though. We are not at war with intelligent machines so that kind of scenario is a bit dramatic.Therefore, a hacker is an individual who is capable of modifying computer hardware, or software. They made their appearance before the advent of computers, when determined individuals were fascinated with the possibility of modifying machines. For example, entering a determine code in a telephone in order to make free international calls. When computers appeared, these people found a new realm where they could exploit their skills. Now they were not limited to the constraints of the physical world, instead, they could travel through the virtual world of computers. Before the internet, they used Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) to communicate and exchange information. However, the real explosion occurred when the Internet appeared.Today, anyone can become a hacker. Within that denomination, there are three types of hackers. The first one is the black hacker, also known as a cracker, someone, who uses his computer knowledge in criminal activities in order to obtain personal benefits. A typical example is a person, who exploits the weaknesses of the systems of a financial institution for making some money. On the other side is the white hat hacker. Although white hat hacking can be considered similar to a black hacker, there is an important difference. A white hacker does it with no criminal intention in mind. Companies around the world, who want to test their systems, contract white hackers. They will test how secure are their systems, and point any faults that they may found. If you want to become a hacker with a white hat, Linux, a PC and an internet connection is all you need.
