Discuss the differences between black hatters and white hatters.

What will be an ideal response?


Hackers/crackers who use their skills to illegally make money are called black hatters; those who use them for good-for example, for identifying security risks in computer systems and networks and then notify corporations of their vulnerability-are called white hatters. Other computer hackers or computer security experts who may violate the law or at least violate ethical business standards, but who do not have the malicious or criminal intent of a black hatter, are often called gray hatters. These individuals often have exceptional skills and when they find vulnerability in a system, rather than exploit it directly for their own financial gain or sell it to others for financial gain, they may attempt to fix it for a fee.
