White Hat Hackers –<br />

White hat hackers, also known as ethical hackers, or white knights, are computer security experts, who specialize in<br />

penetration testing, and other testing methodologies, to ensure that a company’s information systems are secure. Such<br />

people are employed by companies where these professionals are sometimes called "sneakers.” Groups of these people<br />

are often called tiger teams or red teams. These security experts may utilize a variety of methods to carry out their tests,<br />

including social engineering tactics, use of hacking tools, and attempts to evade security to gain entry into secured areas.<br />

1) Stephen Wazniak<br />

Stephen Wazniak, one of the founders of Apple Computer and a long-time hacker hero, recalled the days when a young<br />

hacker could twiddle the phone system and make a free phone call to the pope without fear that a goofy prank would<br />

turn into an international incident. Steve Wozniak got the first inspirations by its father Jerry, which worked as an<br />

engineer at Lockheed, and by the fiktionalen miracle boy Tom Swift. Its father stuck on it with the fascination for<br />

electronics and examined frequently the inventions of its son. Tom Swift was on the other hand for it the product of<br />

creative liberty, scientific knowledge and the ability to find problem solutions. Tom Swift showed it also the large prices,<br />

which expected him as inventors. Until today Wozniak returns to the world from Tom Swift and reads out the books to its<br />

own children, in order to inspire it.<br />

2) Tim Berners-Lee<br />

Berners-Lee is famed as the inventor of the World Wide Web, the system that we use to access sites, documents and files<br />

on the Internet. He has received numerous recognitions, most notably the Millennium Technology Prize. While working<br />

with CERN, a European nuclear research organization, Berners-Lee created a hypertext prototype system that helped<br />

researchers share and update information easily. He later realized that hypertext could be joined with the Internet.<br />

Berners-Lee recounts how he put them together: "I just had to take the hypertext idea and connect it to the TCP and DNS<br />

ideas and "ta-da!” the World Wide Web.”<br />
