Ethical Hackers - technical definition

White Hat hackers who do not destroy property or harm persons with their exploits. Using their computer skills and analytical talents, they break into computers (with authorization) to find vulnerabilities—whether for research, for testing computer security (typically as part of their job), or as a competitive sport with others cut from the same cognitively creative “fabric.”
