Types of Computer Hackers
A computer hacker is not the one wh spends all day in a dark room looking at code on a monitor.
A good hacker has to be a good programmer. there are manny different kinds of hackers, some are there to harm and some are there to help.
1) White Hat
White Hat hackers are individuals who hack into computer systems solely to see how the computer’s security systems work.
2) Black Hat
Black Hat hackers are the complete opposite of “White Hats.” Black Hats break into security systems in order to steal credit card numbers, vandalize websites or otherwise do harm.
3) Grey Hats
Grey Hat hackers are morally ambiguous. They act in their own self-interests and do not think about the legal reprocussions of their actions. They do not actively seek to break the law, but are not concerned if such is the outcome.
4) Hacktivist
5) Script Kiddie
Script Kiddies are faux-hackers. They use pre-packaged, pre-written software to slip past Internet security protocols and are generally looked down upon in the various hacking communities.
6) Cyberterrorists
As the name implies, cyberterrorists use computers to engage in acts of terrorism, often times using DoS (Denial of Service) attacks to crash government websites.
