You do realize there aren't only "bad" hackers (black hat or whatever they call them). There are a lot of people out there hacking software and illegitimate activites like cyber-terrorism for the benefit of society. You say it like all hacking is bad.

White hat is a hacker that knows the same things, its just put into good use. such as network security.

Black hat is a hacker that puts his/her skills into bad use, stealing info, erasing stuff, etc.

Gray Hat is a hacker that is a wonderful mix, that not only works for the good, but does some nasty stuff when he/she has to. this guy falls into the Gray hat area.

I concur. If only all hackers put their skills into something useful like this.

I give this guy props.

Exactly what I was thinking. I'd much rather read about this kind of hacking than see a screen shot of a website that has been defaced. I guess, if you are going to do something "illegal" it might as well benefit mankind. What to go guy. cool.gif
.Kompressor
now that's what I'm talking about. This would be a Gray Hat hacker. He hacks for the benefit of all against evil doers. LOL smile.gif

Best news I heard today!

I used a PHPBB hack to post as an admin and notify the users that they need to patch their board before a "black hat hacker" comes in and destroys it.

A couple of people thanked me for it too.

I think I should start up again.
