Hacking is the act of gaining unauthorized access to computer systems, networks, or digital devices. While the word often has a negative connotation, hacking is not always illegal. It depends on intent and permission.

There are mainly three types of hackers:

White Hat Hackers: Ethical hackers who help organizations find and fix security vulnerabilities. They work with permission and often hold certifications like CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker).

Black Hat Hackers: Malicious hackers who break into systems to steal data, cause damage, or profit illegally. This kind of hacking is against the law.

Grey Hat Hackers: These individuals operate in between — they may break into systems without permission but not necessarily with harmful intent.

In today’s world, where everything is connected through the internet, hacking has become a major threat. Cybercriminals use techniques like phishing, malware, DDoS attacks, and brute-force password cracking to gain access to personal and financial data.

Ethical hacking plays a key role in cybersecurity. Companies hire ethical hackers to simulate cyberattacks and identify weak points in their systems before real attackers do. This helps prevent data breaches and protects user privacy.

To become an ethical hacker, one must learn computer networking, coding (languages like Python or JavaScript), operating systems (especially Linux), and cybersecurity tools (like Nmap, Wireshark, and Metasploit). Many online courses and certifications are available to start a career in this field.

Note: Learning hacking for ethical and legal purposes only is important. Unauthorized hacking is illegal under the IT Act in India and can result in heavy fines or imprisonment.
