    Just like a firearm can be used to protect yourself or harm others, hacking can be used to defend yourself or exploit others.

    What matters is what objective you intend to achieve with it. If you invade someone’s privacy or confidential information using hacking and cause a damage to their life, business and Respect/Social image, this will count as a major sin and you’ll be held accountable.

    Everything immoral or unethical is considered haram in Islam. In order to use hacking for a good purpose (e.g. to build proper defensive technology) one can use white hat or ethical hacking, which involves owner’s legal consent.

    Than is it true that the bad intention makes the work haram ,,,

    It can be used for various good reasons and profitable things,

    Reason, intention, or profitability is not the criteria in determination of halal and haram.

    Yes it’s true I was thinking abt if the one thing is can be used for harm other same can be used to give profit or take profit ,

    So the use of that thing for bad intention can make it a grave sin

    Am I right?

    Yes the use of something for an immoral purpose is haram. If the same thing is used where there is no aspect of immorality then it is not haram.
