In the world of computer security, hackers are divided into different categories based on their intentions. The most common of these are black hat hackers and white hat hackers.
When we talk about black hat hackers, we often think of the criminal image shown in movies. These people are actually the masterminds of the cyber crime world. Their main purpose is to enter any computer system or network unauthorizedly, that is, to intrude without anyone's permission.
This is one of the most common objectives. Black hat hackers steal personal information (such as bank account information, credit card numbers, Aadhaar card details), confidential trade secrets of companies or government data. This data is used for financial fraud, identity theft or to sell it to competitors.
They steal money directly from people's bank accounts, manipulate online transactions or extort money through ransomware. They can crash the system, erase data or insert malicious software (such as viruses, malware) that renders the system completely useless. Their aim is often to cause financial damage to a company or disrupt their services.
Obtaining people's login information through fake emails or websites. Using malicious software such as viruses, Trojan horses, ransomware, etc. Obtaining confidential information from people by deceiving them
The work of black hat hackers is illegal and can lead to heavy penalties, including prison and heavy fines.
In contrast, white hat hackers are the heroes who help keep the digital world safe. They are also called ethical hackers. Their work is completely different from black hat hackers, as they work with permission and with good intentions.
White hat hackers find security vulnerabilities in an organization's systems, networks, and applications. These vulnerabilities are often flaws that black hat hackers can exploit.
It is a controlled hacking process where white hat hackers simulate a real cyber attack to learn how a malicious hacker can infiltrate the system. This helps the organization improve its security.
When a cyber attack occurs, white hat hackers help minimize the damage, find the source of the attack, and prevent future attacks.
They take written permission from the organization before any testing or hacking. They give a detailed report of all the vulnerabilities found so that they can be fixed. Their job is to improve the system, not harm it.
