1. Ethical Hacking
An ethical hacker (also known as a white hat hacker) is the ultimate security professional. Ethical hackers know how to find and exploit vulnerabilities and weaknesses in various systems—just like a malicious hacker (or a black hat hacker). In fact, they both use the same skills; however, an ethical hacker uses
those skills in a legitimate, lawful manner to try to
find vulnerabilities and fix them before the bad guys
can get there and try to break in.
