What is the need for learning to hack?Is it crime?

Its truly useful and needful to learn how hacking works in order to prevent these attacks.An ethical hacker need to know everything in hacking just as a black hat hacker in order to outrun them and find the exploits before the black hats finds it and cause too much damage.
This is just like our military is trained in arms to prevent the terrorists from attacking us!
This is why we say learning to hack is not unethical but using it for any bad purpose is unethical and that is the real crime.This is the reason why we still get every kind of tutorials and help related to hacking .So its not a crime to learn hacking unless your intentions are unethical.

There is term difference for ethical hacker and black hats ,white hat hackers or ethical hackers are really called hackers while black hats are called crackers.Now a days people find it hard to differentiate and hence are using the term hacker for all.
