# Information Security

Information security focuses on minimising **risk** to an organisation's information assets. Realistically speaking, it is impossible to make something **unhackable**. However, measures and controls can be implemented to lower the risk to a level acceptable by organisations.

The main goal of information security is **risk management**!

Generally, there has 2 distinct teams, **the red team and the blue team.**

Red Team = Adversary, Blue Team = Defenders.

Specifically for hackers, they can be:

* **Black-Hat:** Criminal hackers.
* **White-Hat:** Those that hack for good and are law-abiding citizens.
* **Grey-Hat:** White-Hats in the day, Black-Hats in the night.
* **Hacktivists:** Groups like Anonymous, who hack to promote social agendas and beliefs. Hacks include defacing websites, doxing people, etc.
* **State-Sponsored Threats:** Elite hackers sponsored by and acting in their home nation's interests.
* **Script Kiddies:** Unskilled people who blindly run pre-made scripts and tools without understanding what they are doing. Uninterested in learning, more interested in looking l33t.
* **Green Hat Hackers:** Amateur hackers, but with a clear intention to learn, separating them from script kiddies.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://rouvin.gitbook.io/ibreakstuff/infosec/information-security.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
