A hacker is any highly skilled computer expert capable of breaking
into computer systems and networks using bugs and exploits. Depending on the
field of computing it has slightly different meanings, and in some contexts has
controversial moral and ethical connotations. The term refers to a person in
any one of the communities and hacker subcultures.
In other terms…. A Hacker culture, an idea derived from a community
of enthusiast computer programmers and systems designers, in the 1960s around
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT's), Tech Model Railroad Club
(TMRC) and MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
The hobbyist home computing community, focusing on hardware in the
late 1970s and on software (video games, software cracking) in the 1980s/1990s.
Later, this would go on to encompass many new definitions such as art, and Life
hacking.
In computer security, a Hacker is: People involved with
circumvention of computer security. This primarily concerns unauthorized remote
computer break-ins via communication networks such as the Internet (Black
hats), but also includes those who debug or fix security problems (White hats),
and the morally ambiguous Grey hats.
Grey hats: Are hackers who are neither good nor bad, and often include people who hack 'for fun' or to 'troll'. They may both fix and exploit, though grey hats are usually associated with black hat hackers.
Black hats: Are hackers with malicious intentions, and steal, exploit, and sell data. They are usually motivated by personal gain.
White hats: Are hackers employed with the efforts of keeping data safe from other hackers by looking for loopholes and hackable areas. This type of hacker typically gets paid quite well, and receives no jail time due to the consent of the company that hired them.
