Hackers
what are hackers ??? what do they do ??? do they something illegal ??
when some one mentions the word "hacker" the first thought that comes to our mind is a strange guy (usually British) sitting in front of a computer and writing strange unknown commands on a black screen (terminal, try to keep up with the adjectives). they are usually scared of and considered as thieves in the society. they are usually known to break computer based security systems. we seem them opening doors and locks that they are not authenticated to open, leaking question papers of exams (that's the only time you like them). spying over your facebook chats (OMG ! ).
ok, so we get a gist ! these are the guys who are good in computers !!! they know stuff we don't, and they are to proud of them (yes we are !!) . but are all hackers bad ??? aren't there some hackers who work for the government and try too deal with the bad hackers ?? like police deals with burglars ???
hmm, to answer these questions lets start by studying different type of hackers which are,
Black Hat Hackers : these are the one who usually do all the wrong stuff !! they try to break the systems, with certain motives in mind !!! these are the one perform hacks because of malicious motivations. They can steal your data (or money) online. They also have an habit of either cracking your system to enter inside or breaking it (denial of service) level !!! being(or going to be ) and computer science engineer these are the one you should be scared of !!! they are like the real thieve of the world.
White Hat Hacker : these are the ones, who help network administrators secure their network ! they have good intentions. they harm the system to check its vulnerabilities and flaws. then they they report back to the creator of the system. the are network security specialist who are equally blessed as the black hat but with the right motivation. they are like the police of the modern society.
Grey Hat Hacker : you don't know them do you?? you are one of them !! do you download movies from the internet using torrent services ? do you download and crack and use windows in your laptop ? do you download it from various song sharing sites ??? if you do all the above, yes my friend you are a gray hat hacker !! congratulations !! gray hat hackers are basically 'hobby hackers' who crack the system just for fun !! they mean no harm, but use some tricks and tips to work things in a fashion known as 'jugad' !!! they would for experimenting even sometimes even deface some websites or break some servers!! but wont go to an extend that breaks the system badly !!
so, hackers are of all types each having their pros and cons !!! you may encounter one or many in your life !!! but knowing their intentions will help you decide which category to keep them and whether to work against the or not !!! rest a merry christmas to you all !!!
