Hey guys in this we will discuss about what is HACKING and what is ETHICAL HACKING
HACKING:-
If I say in a simple line "Hacking is an activity to enter in someones machine without their permission", it can be legal or illegal.
Let's Read Some Other Definition from Wikipedia
A computer hacker is any skilled computer expert that uses their technical knowledge to overcome a problem. While "hacker" can refer to any skilled computer programmer, the term has become associated in popular culture with a "security hacker", someone who, with their technical knowledge, uses bugs or exploits to break into computer systems.

ETHICAL HACKING or WHITE HAT HACKING:-
As I said before if I say in a simple and single line may be "Hacking is an activity to enter in someones machine without their permission", for good purpose i.e. in a LEGAL WAY.
Let's Read Some Other Definition from Wikipedia
The term "white hat" in Internet slang refers to an ethical computer hacker, or a computer security expert, who specializes in penetration testing and in other testing methodologies that ensures the security of an organization's information systems. Ethical hacking is a term meant to imply a broader category than just penetration testing. Contrasted with black hat, a malicious hacker, the name comes from Western films, where heroic and antagonistic cowboys might traditionally wear a white and a black hat respectively.
White-hat hackers may also work in teams called "sneakers", red teams, or tiger teams. (Source:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_hat_(computer_security) )
