      - Internet access for research

Procedure:

1. Introduction (10 minutes):

   Begin the class by asking students if they have heard of the term "hacking" and what they think it means.
   Write down their responses on the board and discuss them briefly.
   Explain that hacking involves gaining unauthorized access to computer systems or networks.

  - Discuss the motivations behind hacking, including curiosity, activism, criminal intent, and ethical hacking for security purposes.
  - Emphasize the importance of understanding hacking for defensive (security) and offensive (ethical hacking) purposes.

3. Categories of Hacking (15 minutes):

  - Introduce the different categories of hacking:
  - White Hat Hacking (Ethical Hacking)
  - Black Hat Hacking (Malicious Hacking)
  - Grey Hat Hacking

   Provide examples and real-world scenarios for each category to help students grasp the concepts better.

4. Discussion and Reflection (10 minutes):

  - Facilitate a class discussion on the ethical dilemmas surrounding hacking.
  - Encourage students to reflect on their own values and beliefs regarding hacking.
  - Ask students:
