    Helpful Books for Every Ethical Hacker

    There are two types of hackers in the world. Hacking by the virtue of the word is the method of intruding into a system to manipulate or extract information from a personal, corporate or a government body. Such hackers are called Black Hat hackers.

    Ethical hacking includes the same methods of intrusion but not for manipulation or extraction of information, but only for the collective purpose of finding the vulnerabilities that are hidden in a system. Such hackers that contribute to the society are called White Hat hackers. They are employed by many corporations and government agencies to find loopholes and correct them in order to protect information.

    If you are a programmer and want to learn ethical hacking, there are certain guidelines and rules you have to follow. Luckily many books were written by popular ethical hackers that shed light on this field.
