Hacking has been a part of computing for almost five decades and it is a very broad discipline, which covers a wide range of topics. The first known event of hacking had taken place in 1960 at MIT and at the same time, the term "Hacker" was originated.

Hacking is the act of finding the possible entry points that exist in a computer system or a computer network and finally entering into them. Hacking is usually done to gain unauthorized access to a computer system or a computer network, either to harm the systems or to steal sensitive information available on the computer.

Hacking is usually legal as long as it is being done to find weaknesses in a computer or network system for testing purpose. This sort of hacking is what we call Ethical Hacking.

A computer expert who does the act of hacking is called a "Hacker". Hackers are those who seek knowledge, to understand how systems operate, how they are designed, and then attempt to play with these systems

Who is Hacker? 

 If we turn to the formal definition in the Internet Users’ Glossary under RFC 1392, a hacker is “A person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in particular. The term is often misused in a pejorative context, where ‘cracker’ would be the correct term.”

In simpler terms, a hacker is someone who uses his/her skills and knowledge to find vulnerabilities in computer systems and helps improve and patch those vulnerabilities. The knowledge they possess about programming, various computer languages, code and general computer security is advanced and used for morally good purposes. They’re normally security professionals who can be hired by organizations to try and break into their systems, to audit DNS and their networks so they can identify any flaws they may have. They’re often employed as part of the red team and blue team.

When hackers find a vulnerability or a threat, they document the process and notify the organization who hired them, or the software vendor who built the system, so that the vulnerability can be fixed before being exploited by malicious actors.

We often see the term white hat, or ethical hacker, linked to these good guys who use their skills for defense purposes.
