Hacker & Ethical Hacker

Those with a basic idea of software security
are familiar with the term hacker. Others,
however, need a clear definition of the term. A
hacker is a tech-savvy professional who tries to
gain unauthorized access to mobile and web
applications with malicious intent. Hacker and
ethical hacker are similar professionals with
opposite intentions. An ethical hacker applies
his skills to stop hackers from ruining software
applications and accessing the confidential data
they manipulate.
