White hat / black hat /grey hat ...Are you one of them?

You know who a hacker is..alright...but do you know all types of hackers??

Black hat - A villain or the bad guy. A hacker who performs hacking for his selfish needs. Now that could range from logging into your computer and stealing off your personal and important information ... So watch out for such hackers!

White hat - A hero or a good guy. A hacker who performs hacking to find the loopholes and fix it. Who has no selfish motives.

Grey hat - Now this is someone..who is not interested in being branded a black hat or a white hat...Someone who cannot be identified within the borders of black or white. Someone who could be a black hat at times and a white hat at other times...

Now if you are a hacker..which one will you belong to?
