Welcome to our new topic and it is about Black Hat Hacker.
From the previous article I posted here, it is about the white hat hacker who
are called as the good guys on which they hack to identify security weaknesses
and they expose the security flaws in such a way as to alert the owner that
there is a breach so they can fix it before a black hat hacker can take
advantage of it. So from this, black hat hackers are considered as the bad
guys. Based on the Security News:
What’s a Blackhat Hacker?, this group of hackers are also known as
crackers or dark-side hackers. Crackers break things and they are
computer security hackers that break into computers and networks or also create
computer viruses. But why do they do this? What do you think are the reasons why
the hackers on this group use learning for evil? Let’s try to go for some
further research.

Some of the black hat hackers are teenagers and the way how
they used their skills are still in the process of lack of intelligence. They
create malicious malwares that attack other system and steal some information
through web. With the use of internet and technology they can even access and
manipulate information in each company’s databases. There are also some black
hat who are wannabes and from this they can get training about their skills on
some underground hacker forums so we can see, we really cannot control those
skills hackers on their learning ways of becoming a black hat hacker because
they can find other organization and meet people who are also interested on
this so while the training continues, many becomes more knowledgeable to become
notorious black hat hacker. There is an article by Anthony M. Freed which is Black Hat Wannabes Get
Training on Underground Hacker Forums. Here other hacking tools and how
they can be used are shared to those members who want to become black hat
hackers. It’s like turning your skills into a full-time criminal operation just
as what Mr. Freed said on his article, “Underground
forums are providing education on how to become a better, and more malicious,
attacker. Researchers combed one of the largest known hacker forums plus a few
smaller ones and discovered that nearly one-third of all the discussion threads
were dedicated to hacker training, relaying tips and tricks of the trade for
those seeking to sharpen their skills and build some street cred.”


I believed on what Partha Dasgupta wrote on his
article Bad
Hacker, Good Hacker, “The attacks on
the Internet are made possible by an ancient design error. The Internet was not
designed to be a large public network. It was designed to be a closed network
used by trustworthy people inside the US military and universities. Today the
vulnerabilities are causing heartburn for all those who depend on the network.
The hackers are running amok, and the fear of legal action is not enough of a
deterrence (the challenge is to cause harm and not get caught). The solution?
Who knows?” From his statement I can say that, with this kind of black hat
hackers running on cyber world, we cannot really find what can be the solution because
we don’t even know to whom we are going to believe and put more trust about
security and privacy but for only reasons why this people form is also because
of what the society has. It’s not the society that dictates but the scenarios
on which came to their minds and set to live on their own rules.
