A further difference among these types of hacker lies in their methods of discovering vulnerabilities. The white hat generally breaks into systems and networks at the request of their employer or with explicit permission for the purpose of determining how secure it is against hackers, whereas the black hat will break into any system or network in order to uncover sensitive information and for personal gain. The grey hat generally has the skills and intent of the white hat but will break into any system or network without permission

1. The term "grey hat" or "gray hat" in Internet slang refers to a computer hacker or computer security expert whose ethical standards fall somewhere between purely altruistic and purely malicious. The term began to be used in the late 1990s, derived from the concepts of "white hat" and "black hat" hackers.
