What is hacking?

Hacking being able to gain access to a system that you are not supposed to have access ,For example logging into a facebook account that you are not supposed to have access to is considered hacking that account or gaining access to a remote computer that you are not supposed to have access to is called hacking. That computer also reading information that you are not supposed to read again is considered hacking so as you know that there are multiple ways to hack into a system and the word hacking can refer to the number of things but the concept is the same gaining access or being able to do things that you are not supposed to be able to do is considered hacking.

There are three main types of hackers:we have black hat hackers these are the bad people who hack systems illegally in order to steal money or to achieve their own illegal goals.The second part of the hackers are: 

The white hat hackers: These people use the same techniques used by the black hat hackers and they also hack into the systems but they only hack into the systems that they have permission to hack in order to test the security of the system.

 Grey hat hackers: These people are the mixer of both black hat and the white hat hackers so they will hack any systems even they don't have permission to test the security of the system but they will never steal money or damage that system and in most of the cases they will go ahead and tell the administrator of that system but what they do is still illegal because they test security of the system that they do not own or they do not have permission to test now the big question that people always ask is why hacking.

Why should we learn hacking?

Well,hacking is an existing industry and there are a lot of job opportunities for ethical hackers who would go ahead and test the security of the systems to make sure that the systems are secure and not vulnerable to black hat hackers there is actually huge demand for ethical hackers these days because of the increased amount of hacking attacks we hear that big systems and the big companies are getting hacked not so long uber got hacked and the information of more than 56 million users were exposed so companies like uber facebook twitter google and so on they hire hackers in order to try and hack into their system and tell them where the weaknesses are so they can fix it companies also have bug bounty programs where they literally ask all the hackers around the world to go and try to hack into their websites and if they succeed they will pay them a bounty for the bugs.
