    White Hat
    Ethical hackers who help organizations find & fix security vulnerabilities. They work with permission to improve cybersecurity.

    Black Hat

    Grey Hat
    Operate in the middle ground - may find vulnerabilities without permission but report them to be fixed rather than exploit them.
