What is cyber security?
Cyber Security, is where you should safeguard computers, electronic systems, networks, servers, mobile devices, and data from malicious attacks from hackers.
What is Hacking?
Hacking is a practice where hackers bypass all the verification to achieve their needs. For example, there is an e-commerce website called www.xyzStore.com and hacker is able to delete things from person B’s shopping cart. Now deleting products from another person’s cart is an unintended behaviour by the application. This procedure is known as hacking.
It is a really basic example of a hacking, in real-world, there are much more dangerous and destructive hacks.
Types of Hackers
White Hat Hackers
More commonly known as Ethical Hackers. What you all should try, They are the security researchers with the good intention of making cyberspace a better place for everyone. They are authorized by the organizations to hack into their systems and perform penetration testing so that they can find vulnerabilities and loopholes and secure them. These are the good guys.
Black Hat Hackers
These are the bad guys who are always on the opposite side of Whitehat Hackers. They find loopholes in the computer systems and penetrate them without the permission of the individual/organization to whom the computer system belongs. They majorly hack for getting money by compromising technology as well as humans. These are the dangerous guys who can destruct the websites and get personal information like passwords, credit card details, etc.
Gray Hat Hackers
As the name suggests, they are not on side of good guys or the bad guys, they fall somewhere in between. These hackers hack into the computer network without permission however unlike Black Hat Hackers they do not use the information for their own benefits, rather they defame the website after hacking for fun, or they provide the gained information to someone else.
Also, there are many types like Blue Hat Hackers, Green Hat Hackers, Red hat hackers, etc…
