hacker ethics

Hacker ethics refer to a set of principles guiding how individuals who work with computers and networks behave. It emphasizes the responsible use of technical skills, including respecting privacy, avoiding harm, and sharing knowledge freely to improve systems and society. Ethical hackers, or "white hat" hackers, work to identify vulnerabilities to make systems more secure, rather than exploiting them maliciously. These principles promote honesty, integrity, and a commitment to using technology in ways that benefit users and the broader community, fostering trust and constructive innovation in the digital world.
