@Anusha Yes, ethical hacking is both acceptable and is also very necessary. If you don't have people that know how to hack, then how do you protect yourself against malicious hackers that want to cause harm in some form? As such, you need someone that's just as amazing as them to find the holes and protect your systems against attacks. Another term for these people is "white hats," and they're mostly protecting systems against potential threats from "black hats." I know, it's very racist. :) https://www.cybrary.it/ ^Good place to start if you want more knowledge on it. No resource is an end all, so further your knowledge/research beyond that site, it's a good starting point though so you know what to further research. Just note that hacking is MUCH more than simply programming. You need to have a good understanding and knowledge of the systems you're dealing with or targeting, and also a good understanding of things like networking, security, etc... Overall, the more you know about various systems and IT related stuff, the better position you're in to be a hacker.

It's when you're polite about what you're doing. "May I please enter your system kind sir? You've gained my utmost appreciation and gratitude. I shall empty your recycle bin for you on my way out."
