What is Gray Hat Hacking?

Gray Hat Hacking is when someone hacks into computer systems without permission, but not necessarily with bad intentions.

Here’s a simple breakdown:

  1. What it does: Gray hat hackers look for security flaws in systems, often without approval from the owner.
  2. How it works: They may report the issue to the owner or sometimes request payment to fix it, but their actions still break the rules.
  3. Why it’s important: While their goal might be to help improve security, hacking without permission is still illegal or unethical.

Think of gray hat hacking like someone sneaking into your house to show you a broken lock—they’re not there to steal, but they didn’t ask permission either.
