Detailed explanation-1: -White hat hackers probe cybersecurity weaknesses to help organizations develop stronger security; black hat hackers are motivated by malicious intent; and Gray hat hackers operate in the nebulous area in between-they’re not malicious, but they’re not always ethical either.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are three well-known types of hackers in the world of information security: black hats, white hats and grey hats. These colored hat descriptions were born as hackers tried to differentiate themselves and separate the good hackers from the bad.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both types of hackers want to defend network systems, but only one uses aggressive actions. Whereas a white hat hacker doesn’t create damage, red hats not only defend network systems but actively hunt attackers. They then use their skills to launch full-scale attacks against them to destroy their systems.

Detailed explanation-4: -Red Hat Hackers versus Grey Hat Hackers Grey hats typically charge users to fix bugs, strengthen their security defenses, and provide vulnerability patches. In a sense, that’s their primary difference from red hats, who don’t usually get paid for what they do. Both may be after fame, though.
