Today my topic to share with all of you guys is about types and tools so step by step I would like to go into depth of this topic!

If I talk about hackers then these are some of the individuals that utilise their computers skills for gaining any malicious or an authorised approach to their computer systems,networks and their confidential information.Due to different reasons they can be motivated like some of the reasons are financial gain curiosity or need for causing harm.

---

if I talk about types of hackers then these are stable in which Black hat white hat and grey hat hackers are most common. If I talk about Black hackers then these are some of the malicious personalities that use their hacking skills for getting financial returns and for the purpose of harming someone.

---

If I talk about White hat hackers then they are allowed to hack information ethically as it is indicated by their name and that's why they are helpful for organisations who want to meet different improvements in their safety system.

---

If I talk about grey hat hackers then these hackers are intermediate hackers you can say because they fall in category of both somehow because they use their skills of hacking for personal gains but their intentions can be true or can be wrong so it's not guaranteed that they have intentions of hacking in a malicious way.

---

If I talk about script is then this is also sort of hacker but at low level because these are individuals that use hacking tools and strategies which are existing already for launching attacks without having complete understanding of the technology they are using for their hacking.

---

If I talk about hacktivist then these are also types of hackers that we use their abilities and skills for promotion of any political or social agenda so their attacks can be lounged towards government or organisation for drawing attention of their cause.

If I talk about some tools for techniques of hacking that are used by hackers then in them phishing technique is most common through which hacker can easily get access to confidential data.This can be done by sending phishing mails or messages that seems to be received from any legitimate source by using a trick of trapping recipient.

---

If I talk about malware then this is also one of the most important tool utilised by hackers through which they can get access to computer systems and if I give an example of it then you see different viruses, worm and Trojan horses in your computers and all these are malware attacks.

---

If I talk about another one of most important technique than this is SQL injection which are used by hackers for getting access to databases and in this process code is entered in database query for attempting of extraction and modifying of sensitive information.

---

If I talk about cross side scripting then this is a strategy of getting malicious success to web applications by using same procedure which I have explained above in which malicious code is injected in web page so that confidential information of users maybe stealed.

---

If I talk about Nmap then this is one of the most famous stool through which hackers can scan networks of computer and they can also look out for significant vulnerability if these are present so it can be utilised for identification of open ports, operating systems and for detection of firewall rules.

---

if I talk about metasploid then this is also one of the most common tool utilised by hackers for launching attacks against computer systems.Similarly, last but not least there is burp suite which is a tool used for hacking for analysing and exploiting web applications. It's a way of providing tools for scan and to exploit web apps.

If I conclude all my discussion then I have talked about various types of hackers and tools that are utilised by these hackers so now you can understand that it's not important that hacker is always a negative person because hackers are also legal or ethical. I invite everyone to much share your feedback at my post!
