Q&A

Q. What is the difference between white hat hackers and other hackers?

Hacking, which essentially means to discover the vulnerabilities while staying within the legal boundary, is a totally different thing to that of an act of gaining unauthorized access illegally to cause damage. A white hacker finds vulnerabilities regarding security with good intentions and proposes solutions for them. So the term is used to describe these sorts of ethical hackers.

Q. What is the most important thing for white hat hackers?

This may sound cliché, but having ethics and morals, and following the law are the most essential for hackers. No matter how good someone's skills are, they are meaningless if the person is not ethical. Although skills can be improved by putting the time into learning, ethics are difficult to restore once breached. Make sure that you thoroughly understand this and be particularly careful.

Q. What kind of job opportunities are there as hackers?

Hackers fundamentally have an incredibly deep understanding of computers so, they can pursue various careers in IT. Hackers can become security developers who develop security products or pursue careers in mock hacking and security consulting. In finance, there would be things like banks, cards, stocks, and insurance. These days, nearly all important information is stored in cyberspace, such as PCs and smartphones, so we must have the technologies for analyzing and tracing that.

Q. Finally, what would you say to people who take this class?

There is no such thing as perfect security. Since humans are imperfect, the things humans make are bound to have flaws. Developing a system without a single vulnerability is, realistically speaking, impossible. Still, there's no reason for you to worry too much. Even if there is no perfect security, the best possible security does exist. Aside from companies and institutes, individuals also need to make a habit of ensuring security. There is nothing more important than protecting your valuable information.
