Raven Adler – A pioneer in ethical hacking

Raven Adler is an American cybersecurity expert and ethical hacker who made history at a young age by becoming the first woman to present at DEF CON, one of the world’s largest and most prestigious hacker conventions. Through her ethical hacking (or white-hat hacking) career, she mainly focused on doing penetration tests, testing how easily websites (that hired her) could be penetrated.

 

What is ethical hacking?

Ethical hacking is a fully legal form of hacking, as hackers use their skills for positive purposes, such as testing computer systems for their vulnerabilities before cybercriminals can exploit these oversights. They are hired by big companies to identify and fix flaws, making the internet safer. She has fixed an uncountable amount of businesses and, she even made her first computer! How cool!
