What is a hacker?

A hacker is someone who likes to tinker with electronics or computer systems.
Hackers like to explore and learn how Computer systems work, finding ways
To make them do what they do better, or do things they weren’t intended to do.
There are two types of hackers: 

White Hat These are considered the good guys. White hat hackers don’t use their skills for illegal purposes. They usually become Computer Security experts and help protect people from the Black Hats.

Black HatThese are considered the bad guys. Black hat hackers usually use their skills maliciously for personal gain. They are the people that hack banks, steal credit cards, and deface websites.
These two terms came from the old western movies where the good guys wore white hats and the bad guys wore black hats. Now if you’re thinking, “Oh boy! Being a black hat sounds awesome!”,


Then I have a question for you. Does it sound cool to live in a cell the size of your bathroom and be someone’s butt buddy for many years? That’s what I thought.
