-What you know about the topic before your research
-I am not sure of anything about this topic. I do know that hacking has to do with breaking into the codes and getting into websites without any permission (passwords).
-What you wonder or questions you have about the topic before researching (at least 2)
1. How is the process of this topic?
2. Why is it called white hat hacking?
-Links to where you found the most useful information (at least 2, NOT Wikipedia, although you can use it to help you)
-Bullet list of things you learned about the topic (at least 5)
-Finds the weaknesses in security networks and computers, just like a normal hacker
-Instead of taking malicious advantage of these, they help the network to enforce them before someone else can take advantage of them
-The people who do take advantage of them, and the most known, are the black hat hackers
-The name comes from old western movies, where the good guy usually wore a white hat and the bad guys wore black hats.
-White hats are offered certification for their help from the NSA.

-A short summary of how this topic connects/relates to you or your life
This topic mainly describes how some bad things can be shaped into good things, in order to make this world a better place. White hat hacking may connect to me and my life in the way in which decisions that we take can radically change our lives. We can choose either do good things or get influenced by peer pressure. But, if we look at some situations in a different way, we can take good things from these. Then, we would be doing good actions instead of bad decisions. Hacking for good is a great example of how we can get bad things and use them for good, and if we develop this skill, we could shape the world for good.
-Questions you still have (at least 1)
-Are there any cases were white hats take advantage of these privileges and do bad things?
-Who started this 'movement'? How did it begin?
