Ethical Hacker

A term used to denote a person with exceptional skills in computer security that uses them to hack into systems with legitimate reasons and with permission.

AKA, a hacker that is good

John got permission before he broke into Google's server in London, so he can't be tried for any crimes. Lucky bastard, he got away for being an ethical hacker.
