White hat hacking

   I don't know anything about white hat hacking. Although I know what hacking means, I don't know how to do it or what white hat hacking means. 
I have a lot of questions about white hat hacking: 
1. What is white hat hacking and what is the difference between hacking and white hat hacking?
2. How does it work and what is its function?
Useful links for this topic
This website explains the definition of white hat hacking and the job of a white hat hacker
This website is an online tutor course where you can learn how to do white hacking with videos.
  • White hacking, also known as ethical hacking, is identifying a security weakness in a computer system and exposing the weakness to allow the system's owners to fix the error. 
  • White hat hackers are professionals with a desire to solve problems and prevent black hat hackers from causing damage to network systems. 
  • Famous white hat hackers include Robert Hansen, Greg Hoglund, Dan Kaminsky, Zane Lackey, and Marc Maiffret.
  • White hat hackers are usually assigned by a company to test the strength of the company's security system.
  • The National Security Agency (NSA) offers certificates to these hackers which covers professional hacking techniques and team management.
White hat hacking relates to my life and my dream because I don't want to be a black hacker who hacks for his or her own advantage and harm other computer systems. I would want to be a white hat hacker who prevents the danger and protects the system.
My last question is.... What is more difficult to do: White hat hacking or Black hat hacking?

Google day 1

Three goals for today:
1. Experiment interesting effects, color, editing in Photoshop with a picture.
2. Design or think about the typography and find the kind of typography in the Internet which I would like to create.
3.Learn some basic tutorials of Photoshop 

process for today: http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/tutorials/learn-how-to-create-great-typographic-wallpaper-photoshop/This website inspired me with the type of typography wallpaper I wanted. It explains the specific steps of how to create a typographic wallpaper. I could follow the steps carefully and design my own typography. I would like to create a typography wallpaper with the text CNG High school with a 3D effect and put the colors I want.

Google 20%

  For this semester, I would like to learn more about photo editing by using Photoshop. I would like to create my own character through Photoshop and make a new interesting comic or a new poster. Also, I want to learn several techniques of putting cool effects. I want to learn how to create a new typography and make my own font and apply my font to Microsoft office Word. I would also like to know how to edit and improve a picture of a face of a person to become more pretty. 
   When I present this project,  I will show my classmates a new comic or a poster I've created using Photoshop. My comic would look more professional by using Photoshop rather than drawing it by hand. Also, I would put a before picture and an after picture, which I edited to make it more pretty. I could also show my new 3D typography effect so that I can use it in Microsoft World and PowerPoint. On my presentation, I would focus on showing how much I improved for the 4 months.
