Question

Write a short note on White, Black, and Grey Hat Hackers.

Short Note

Solution

White hat hackers use their expertise to aid in the prevention of attacks. White hat hackers look at vulnerability flaws ahead of time so they can be fixed before they are abused by attackers. Malicious hackers, also known as "black hats," are those who want to bring down networks, steal data, or exploit programs. A grey hat hacker is a computer hacker or security specialist who can break the law or ethical rules on occasion but may not have the sinister intent of a black hat hacker. The words "white hat" and "black hat" hackers were coined in the late 1990s to describe two types of hackers.
