Hacking refers to gaining unauthorized access to systems or networks, often involving technical skills and tools to exploit vulnerabilities. White hat hacking is ethical hacking performed with permission to improve security, while black hat hacking is malicious and illegal, aimed at causing harm or stealing data. Ethical hackers help organizations strengthen defenses, while malicious hackers engage in activities like data breaches or financial theft. Tools like penetration testing are used in both ethical and malicious contexts. Understanding cybersecurity, vulnerabilities, and encryption are key to hacking practices, whether for defense or attack purposes.
