- It's a term used for a computer hacker or a computer security system.
Questions:
- What do they do?
- Is there other types of hat hackers and what do they have in common or different form white hackers?
- Whats the definition of white hat hackers?
Good links I used:
- http://www.secpoint.com/What-is-a-White-Hat.html
Things I learned:
- White hat hackers definition: A hacker which try security systems to see if there any vulnerability of the system and will tell the page or place this is used (vendor).
- Theres not only white hat hackers but theres also black hat hackers and grey hat hackers. The black hat hackers are hackers which hack intending a crime. The grey hat hackers are much alike as the white hat hackers but they don't only tell the vendor they also tell crackers.
- The white hat hackers are said to be ethical hackers which only hack to see if the security system is good enough so that other hackers which are trying to do bad won't be able to hack it.
- These people are employed by the organizations to be the network security professionals. Most come from the CNS 4011 which are teams of hackers there red which act in aggression and the blue team which act in a defensive mode.
- White hat hacking started as a "security evaluating" by the U.S Air Force, they found out it had some vulnerability's. They also found out that the U.S had being doing this.
- The tactic of ethical hacking was made by Dan Farmer and Wietse Venema.
Summary: So what I learned was that there hackers that are used for good. This connects to my life because theres many people which maybe want to make other miserable by hacking there private things and the white hackers would already tell the security system of the vendors; like if I have my bank account and the hack the system to see whats wrong and need to be strengthened.
Questions I still have: How do you ask a white hat hacker to help you see if you security system is good?
