by others (such as black hat hackers.) Methods of telling the owners about it
range from
a simple phone call through sending an e-mail note to a
Webmaster or administrator all
the way to leaving an message that security has been
breached.
2. Black Hat Hackers
The black hat hacker may also make the exploit known to other hackers
and/or the public without notifying the victim. This gives others the
opportunity to exploit the vulnerability before the organization is able to
secure it.
3. Gray Hat Hackers
For example, they
may hack the computer network of a public agency, let us say, DRDO. That is a
federal crime.
If the authorities capture them, they will feel the long arm of justice. However, if they only get inside, and post, let me say, their handle, and get out without causing any kind of damage, then they can be considered grey hackers.

According to their behavior there are lots of categories in that we can divide hackerssome types are here :
Script kiddies –
These are the wannabe hackers. They are looked
down
upon in the hacker community because they are the people
that make
hackers look bad. Script kiddies usually have no hacking
skills
hackers without any knowledge of what’s happening behind
the scenes.
Intermediate hackers -
These people
usually know about computers, networks, and have enough
knowledge To
understand relatively
what a hack might do, but same as script kiddies
they use pre developed well-known
exploits
Elite Hackers –
These are the
skilled hackers. They are the ones that write
the many hacker tools and exploits out there. They can
break into systems
and hide their tracks or make it look like someone else
did it. You should
strive to eventually reach this level.
