From what I remember black hat was akin to a newbie hacker or someone who did simple hacking. Nothing too crazy a simple change of the code here or a program that brute forced into a locked file. White is top tier crazy level hackers. The kind that if caught by the FBI or CIA is either suddenly found at the bottom of the river or forced to work for them. Or both. Free will and morals are a pesky thing when working for an organization that tries desperately to cling to relevancy when their true purpose is done (FBI) or when they screw up so much and create so much problems even the military is like "Dawg, did you take your meds? The fuck is wrong with you man?" (CIA).
I got a question, I've been seeing the term "White hat" lately. What it's a white hat if you don't mind me asking?
Here i am thinking of the old hacker term for black hat and white hat. Thanks for the clarification!
