==Black-Hat==

This is the type of cracker most people think of when "hacking" is mentioned.  A black-hat hacker is a term for someone who compromises the security of a computer system without authorized permission, usually intending the system harm.  Hackers can use their knowledge of exploits and [[software]] vulnerabilities for their personal gain and disregard for the law. Hackers may use their skills in computer crimes to break copy prevention devices in software or cause other malicious damage such as breaking into secure systems via DOS attacks or releasing Internet [[worm]]s.
