What is Hacking? What are these Types

 What is Hacking:

Who is an Hacker:

The basic definition of a hacker is someone who uses a computer system to gain unauthorized access to another system for data or who makes another system unavailable. These hackers will use their skills for a specific goal, such as stealing money, gaining fame by bringing down a computer system, or making a network unavailable -- even sometimes destroying them. However, there are three different types of hackers, each with a particular goal, and not all are the bad guys.

There are Three Major Types of Hacker:

1. White-Hat Hackers
2. Gray-Hat Hackers
3. Black-Hat Hackers
