La piratería ética es algo más que tener buenas intenciones. Una intrusión no autorizada sigue siendo una intrusión no autorizada independientemente de si el hacker estaba tratando de ser útil o no. Aunque todos los hackers utilizan idénticos conocimientos y habilidades, los hackers éticos solo utilizan esas habilidades para poder acceder a los sistemas con autorización expresa de los titulares. 1, record 1, Spanish, - pirater%C3%ADa%20%C3%A9tica
