• Ethical Hacking : Hacking may be for criminal purpose and it may be for cracking the criminals called ‘black-hat hackers’. Be it for bad or good the art of hacking is same wherein using some specialized sets of tools, techniques, skills, and knowledge, the security of a computer and its various resources are compromised. Section 43 and 66 IT Act provide the legal platform for hacker.

• “ Hacker” and “ “Cracker” in Indian law: In Abhinav vs. State of Haryana, Cr. Misc. No. 9245 of 2008, Justice Harbans Lal of Punjab and Haryana High Court has defined the term “ Hacker” and “ “Cracker” and made distinction between “ Hacker” and “ “Cracker”. He also put emphasis on the point of mens rea in adjudicating the offence of hacking.
• The concept of mens of rea in hacking is made clear in the case in DPP vs. Bignell (1998) 1 Cr. App. R 1 and R. vs. Gold and Schifreen, (1997) QB 1116. The Court observed that mere access to any computer resources is not an offence. That is why in section 66 of the IT Act the terms “ dishonestly” and “ “fraudulently” have been used. 
Hacking laws: In USA : SECURELY PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST CYBER TRESPASS ACT (SPY ACT).
