Can Hacking be Ethical?

Yes! That is why I start writing this blog.

The next question you would probably ask is "How can hacking be considered as ethical?". The idea of hacking in general mind is an act of unauthorized access to computer resource. How can unauthorized access be considered as ethical?

Yes, it can! Unauthorized access can still be ethical and moral if the objective is to help not to destroy. After gaining unauthorized access you can abuse the information or privilege you have, or on the other hand you can help improve the security of the system.

Large corporates have begun to realize the need to evaluate their system for vulnerabilities and correct security holes. They need some one who can think like a cracker and simulate their act to hack into their system without doing anything harmful.
