Can you hack?

The short answer is yes, if you had the technical knowledge you could. However, there is a difference between ethical hacking (White Hatting) and unethical hacking (Black Hatting). Ethical hacking sometimes called Penetration Testing (Pen Testing for short) is where you have permission from the owner of the computer, network, or other electronic resource to test their security. There are many firms who deal with this security and it is actually a great paying industry. Black Hatting on the other hand is breaking into systems where you are not welcome, and it is an illegal activity which shall not be discussed on this website.
