Black Hat Hackers !!!
Writing about hacking on the educational site EduportalBd.com can be said to be unfair. However, I wrote because after reading Our Activities of EduportalBD.com, I understood that they do not believe in the traditional education system. Welcome to such an initiative of EduportalBD.com.
Anyway, let’s get back to the basics. In the title, I used the term ‘Black Hat Hackers’.
Who is a hacker?
The general statement is that those who hack are hackers. So what is hacking? Hacking is a process where someone enters a computer or computer network without any valid permission. Those who do it are hackers.
Types of hackers:
Hackers are identified with hats. Hackers are divided into 3 groups.
- White Hat Hacker
- Black Hat hacker
- Gray Hat Hacker
White Hat Hacker:
Everyone thinks that hacking is a very bad thing. But White Hat hacker is not bad. A White Hat hacker finds out the flaws of a security system and quickly informs the owner of that security system. Now the security system can be a computer, a web site of a computer network, a software, etc.
Gray Hat Hacker:
These are two-faced snakes. When they find out the flaws of a security system, it will act like its mind. He will do whatever his mind wants at that time. If he wants to, he can report the error to the owner of the security system or he can destroy the information. Again, he can use it for his own benefit.
Black Hat Hacker:
The most feared hacker is the Black hat hacker. Black hat hacker quickly exploits the flaws of a security system to its advantage. ষ্ট Destroys the system. Spreads various viruses. He keeps the way so that he can enter again in the future. After all, they try to get into all the subsystems that are under that system. By hackers, basically everyone means them.
There are also a few more types of hackers, such as: Ethical hacker, Script Kiddie, Elite Hacker, etc.
