For example, the white-hat hacker refers to the ethical hacker or the good hackers. The article also talks about the different types of hacking techniques used by hackers of all sorts. Assessment. I find that this article is not biased as it talks about both the good and bad about hackers. The information is highly reliable as it is published by IEEE the go-to organization for anything electrical and computing based. Reflection. There are plenty of terms that I can use for my paper when describing different hacking types and hackers. Although this is an unbiased article, it still can help with supporting my argument as I can use the positive acts of hackers as opposed to the negative acts.

Bowyer, Kevin. Case study resources for an ethics and computing course Frontiers in Education Conference, 1997. 27th Annual Conference. 5-8 November 1997: 469-473. Web. 6 April 2014.

Tan 2 out of programming. The different types of fraud and small errors that a programmer makes can cause major repercussions in the industry and society. Assessment. The examples in this article talk only about the many cases of ethics in and out of the field of programming in the professional world. It is unbiased as it just states cases that we brought up in the past. Reflection. It is not exactly helpful towards my argument but it does shed some light on how programmers or hackers should behave ethically in the workspace.

Bodhani, Aasha. Bad? In a good way. Engineering & Technology. 8.12 Jan 2013: 64 68. Web. 6 April 2014. Summary. The article talks about how governments and even businesses are more and more susceptible to cyber-attacks. Because of incidents like these, the common understanding of a hacker is that of a negative one. Therefore, in order to counter these attacks, they themselves have hired or trained people that are skilled in software programming to help protect important information from being used by others. Often times even hiring renowned hackers to work for them to detect bugs and weaknesses of the software as a safety precaution. Assessment. This source is has many examples and information concerning ethical hackers and what companies and governments do as a response to cyber-attacks. Reflection. This article can be very helpful to my essay as it provides details about the different types of hackers that are out there and examples of how counter hacking programmes were brought up by the government and companies in order to safeguard their systems.

Though it is a relatively biased source, it explains the main difference between the misconceptions of a hacker and a cracker. Reflection. This article is very helpful as there are many examples that I can use in my research paper. It gives clear explanations towards the use of hackers in helping companies assess and improve the security systems of the respective companies.
