Hacking is crime or not?
Hacking:
Is an art of gaining unauthorized access into any
system either by hook or by crook.
This is the definition what everyone think.
But according to me:
Hacking means you are in deep into research and to understand that you have gain access to that system or technology in order to get knowledge or to create something new out of that.
It is our state of mind that you use it for legal purpose or illegal purpose.
This is the definition what everyone think.
But according to me:
Hacking means you are in deep into research and to understand that you have gain access to that system or technology in order to get knowledge or to create something new out of that.
It is our state of mind that you use it for legal purpose or illegal purpose.
Hackers:
Are those who perform hacking for
legal purpose (VAPT, Testing, Cyber Crime etc.)
Crackers:
Are those who perform for illegal purpose
(Name, Fame or Money etc.)
There all activities performs are
all for wrong intentions.
Black Hat:
Are those who are having very deep and excellent knowledge for hacking but they
are not doing any illegal purpose.
They have very well knowledge of
cyber laws
Eg. A Chemical Engineer perfectly
knows how to make bomb, he knows perfect proportion of which chemical to mix to
increase bomb intensity but they are not doing for any illegal instead they are
performing for government for legal purpose. Hence, such people are called
“Black Hat” into their field. If they will use their knowledge for illegal
purpose then they are termed as bad guys or “Crackers”.
White Hat:
Are those who people does hacking and ethically reporting back to the company
admin about that vulnerability. This is the most genuine way to represent
yourself and describe your ability/talent.
Grey Hat:
Yes it is the mixture of White and
Black Hat :)
Neophytes or Script Kiddie and Suicidal Hacker
Neophytes are those who are new to
Hacking field and they started performing hacking related activities without
shielding themselves (Without Spoofing Identity) and May became as a suicidal
hacker as they may lead themselves in cyber crime activity and this can lead them to behind bars or into the hands of crackers.
Script Kiddie are those who read
semi tricks of hacking from internet or somewhere or some workshop. Without
having proper knowledge of hacking they may lend themselves into cyber-crime
hence, they became suicidal hacker and identifies themselves in the category of Crackers
Eg. Some guy have breakup.. He will
search on Google “How to hack Facebook account “ . Instead of hacking fb
account of his friend; he will himself hacked to the professional crackers and
these guys are called suicidal hackers and sometimes may lead to some illegal
activity so these suicidal hackers are called Crackers.
Scenario
If Black Hat/White/Grey Hat guy is hacking for
illegal activity then they will also be considered as Suicidal Hacker (Because they
knows all the consequences after they will be caught for performing this
activity) Hence, they are termed as “Crackers”.
Ethical Hacker
Are those Professional who are certified for this type of work. Such professionals are hired by companies, firms etc. in designation of Security. They are certified professional by some standardized bodies. (eg. C|EH, OSCP, CISSP etc)
eg. A Doctor with MBBS degree will be recognized as compared to the doctor without any degree.
eg. Person with BTech. degree will be considered over any other bachelor's degree.
Ethical hacker does not always means that he legal. It only defines the person with certification meets all the norms of cyber industry.
- Legality defines by activity performed not by your certification or any tag.
