What Kind Of Hacker Are You?

Hackers Introduction
Now a days a lot of people want to be hackers. It is a
good
thing to have some extra stuffs in our knowledge bank.
So
lets start with the basics of hacking, by understanding
the
different types of hackers. There are mainly 3 types of
hackers:
Black Hat Hackers
This category of hackers is also known as "crackers".
Hackers in this category are always tempted to gain
privileges of someone(s) system without the
authorization
or permission. Usually these peoples works individually
for
their own gains/fun. But as a team they can be deadly
and
their impact can cause trouble to a greater extent. Their
activity mainly includes DDOS attacks to websites, Site
Defacing, Identity Theft, Vandalism etc. You will be
lectured
in detail about these terms in the following tutorials.
White Hat Hackers
In contradiction to Black hat hackers, White hat hackers
are life-saving angels to many. They are also designated
as "Ethical Hackers". In fact, Ethical Hacking is a career
in
today's word for many. To be an approved WHH, you
need
to be certified. But who cares about a certification, when
we know what we are talking about and when we have a
good and helping mind. To be more specific about their
do's, they perform security tests on different systems
with the authority's authorization which would be
definitely
illegal when the hands of a BHH gets involved. When
compared to BHH, WHH are small in count, but they are
still powerful.
Grey Hat Hackers
As you can probably imagine, these are those categories
of
hackers who hacks for both good and bad. They usually
do
Black hatting for their malicious intentions and do White
hatting with good intentions. In short, they help and
harm.
The majority ofthe people fall in this category. So they
are
typical hackers and still a potential threat!
Which One Should I Become?
If you are asking me, it will be a definite WHH. But you
don't
have to listen to me. What I want to tell you is, it will be
always better to know what you are getting into. Hackers
are sometimes getting caught, and when they are caught,
they will be charges and sometimes may sent to jail for
some short period of time if you are not a certified WHH.
If
you are asking me, I suggest you to keep learning until
you
gain some good knowledge in the matter and know how
to
remove all the traces of your hack.here can be different
potential traces (like logs of the system you have hacked
your information's that got captured by the hacked
system
etc) that can lead an expert to pin point the hand cuffs
to
your hands. The different methods to remove the traces
of
the hacks will be lectured in the following tutorials I plan
to post.
Other types of Hackers
"Dude just wait a sec! I thought you were saying there
are
only 3 types of hackers in the world!"
Well and of-course, there are only 3 types of hackers.
But
there are some different subcategories for these types.
Just like some Ranks by which we can categorize.
Elite Hacker - A grade rank meant to describe the the
most
skilled/ reputed hackers. They knew/ discover the
hacking
methods that are still unknown and that are not been
fixed.
Script Kiddie - A lower rank than the above one that
designates someone that uses tools made by others to
do
some stuff and they don't even know a shit about the
real
hacking.[/size][/u][/b]
Neophyte - A much lower rank that describes a person
that
is a newbie to this matter and is having a little a
knowledge
about this matter.
Hacktivist - As the name rhymes to "Terrorist", they are
the
people who hacks to inject some religious, political
anarchy.
Green Hat Hackers- As the name indicates, they love
green. They hack only for money. They will not think
about
the cause. They just want the money from their slaves.
