“Hacking" used to describe when a clever individual put computer parts (or anything really) together in a novel, unintended way that resulted in something cool or useful. It was used with a positive connotation. For example, Steve Wozniak, one of the original founders of Apple, was an exceptional hacker.
Today, a “hacker” is more frequently used to describe someone who discovers and takes advantage of a weakness in a computer system or network, also known as an exploit or vulnerability.
Hackers then use that exploit to block access to regular users, download information, or to gain access to more computers in the network.
This doesn't mean that hackers are all bad guys. In fact, there is a whole professional practice built around ethical hacking called "penetration testing".
Note: For the remainder of this article, we’ll use the term “hacker” as it is commonly used today: as someone who takes advantage of a weakness in a computer system or network.
HACKERS OF A DIFFERENT CLASS
There are a large number of hacker classifications defining who hackers are and why they are hacking in the first place. Here are some of the more interesting ones. Most hackers fall into one or more of these categories:
WHITE HAT
These guys do everything by the book. They have full, contractual permission to try and compromise a system. There are rules - white hats follow them.
BLACK HAT
These hackers are Bond villains. Black hat hacking is an illegal activity for some form of personal gain.
GREY HAT
Everything in-between. Most commonly, these guys hacked something with good intentions...only they didn't ask nicely first.
WHY?
Every hacker has a motive. Why people hack can vary quite a bit.
QUICK MONEY
Hackers that are chasing credit card information or other financially exploitable data fall under ‘standard hacker.’
