[i]Types of hackers[/I]

Script Kiddie:
Script Kiddies, in a word are noobs.They are
the people who use tools, scripts, methods and
programs created by real hackers. They are the
ones who don't know how a system works but
are still able to exploit it with previously
available tools, not by walking in the footsteps
of actual Hackers but simply copying what they
did and using it for malicious purposes. A script
kiddie is that one annoying kid in class, who
pisses off everyone else. Don't be that guy.

White Hat Hacker:
White Hat hackers or Penetration testers are
the good guys who hack for security purposes.
Although what they do is pretty much the
same as bad guys, but a world of difference
arises when it comes to ethics. The main aim of
a Whitehat hacker is to improve the security of
a system by finding security flaws and fixing it
before the bad guys find and exploit it. They
are usually officially employed by
organizations and companies to protect their
virtual assets from coming to harm. The may
work also individually to make the cyber space
more secure, kind of a voluntary worldwide
community service. An example of this is the
team behind the (in)famous Hacking Tool
known as Metasploit who work tirelessly
reporting new seurity flaws and their fixes in
various softwares.
This website only concentrates on white-hat
hacking and helps you to learn how to Hack for
the welfare of everyone.

Black Hat Hacker:
BlackHat hackers are our enemies. They are
the bad guys, cyber criminals who have
malicious intents. These are the hackers who
steal money or valuable data, infect systems
with viruses, trojans and malware etc. These
are the ones who gave the world of Hacking a
bad reputation and it is up to us, the whitehats
to bring them down. They use their hacking
skills for illegal purposes with unethical goalss
and sometimes just to watch the world burn. If
ever you are attracted to the Dark Side of
Hacking, ask yourself this : "Is a night of glory
really worth a lifetime behind bars? ". If a
person can get over half a dozen years
sentence for copying images (fact), sky's the
limit when it comes to convicting cyber
criminals.

GreyHat hackers:
These are the hackers who may work
offensively or defensively, depending on the
situation. They belong to the neutral zone.
Hackers who don't have malicious intentions
but still like to break into third-party system
just for the thrill and fun or maybe just to
announce a newfound vulnerabilty in a wild
and supposedly heroic way. Nobody like a Show
Off and the GreyHats do just that. Breaking
into vital databases, say for example one
containing Credit Card information is just as
illegal as actually stealing them. So, even
fooling around like this can land you in jail.

Hacktivists:
These are the hackers who use their hacking
skills for protesting against injustice and attack
a target system or websites to popularize a
notion or gather attention to a specific case
for rectification. They are vigilantes, The dark
knights of the Hacking universe. This is where
good intentions collide with the law, for
Hacktivists may or may not carry out illegal
activities to get their point across to the
world. They include outlaws who deliver their
own brand of rough justice, they are usually
experts confident in their stealth skills so as
not to get caught.

In the cyber security world, the person who is
able to discover a weakness in the system and
manages to exploit it to accomplish his goal
(Good or Bad) is referred as a Hacker , and the
process is referred to as Hacking.
Nowadays, People think that hacking is only
hijacking Facebook accounts or defacing
websites. Yes, it is also part of hacking field
but it doesn't mean that it is all there is. This
is not even the tip of the iceberg.
So what is exactly hacking and what should
you do to become a hacker?! That is exactly
what this website is for. The only thing you
need to become a hacker is interest and
dedication. You should always be ready to
learn something new and learn to create
something newer.
Hacking is the practice of modifying the
features of a system or finding a loophole, in
order to accomplish a goal outside of the
creator's original purpose.
Due to the mass attention given to the so
called "Blackhats" or "Crackers" from the
media, the reputation of all hackers, even the
good ones is damaged. This is what this
website is for - To turn this image around.
Hacking is always viewed as something illegal
and shrewd. This is almost never the case. A
few bad guys doing a few bad things has put a
bad name for an entire community. This
doesn't have to be so, which is why I've made
this website.
My goal today is to introduce to
people the true philosophy and ethics of the
elusive world of Hacking, hopefully clearing
their name and giving them the social status
they deserve. I will show you everything there
is to show in hacking. Every single hacking
technique that exists, how it works and how to
actually carry them out yourself. You will get
to know how to protect yourself from these
same hacks and eventually I hope to clear the
bad name that has been given to Hackers
around the globe.
Your journey begins - Right here, Right now.
