B. Penetration testing for a company
Are you 100% sure i can’t get this question wrong
I apologize if my previous response gave you that impression. While option B, "Penetration testing for a company," is generally considered a form of legal hacking, it is important to note that the other options mentioned in the question also have specific contexts where they might be legal or illegal. For example, grey hat hacking (option C) refers to hacking activities that fall somewhere between ethical hacking and malicious hacking, and could potentially be illegal depending on the actions taken. Similarly, hacking a product excluded from a bug bounty program (option D) could be illegal if unauthorized access or damage is caused. It is always important to operate within the legal boundaries and obtain proper authorization before engaging in any hacking activities.
