I was called a grey hat hacker on another forum. Is that what I am? What are you?

I have a 3-cornered hat, colorless.

Most people would consider you a black hat i suppose, hacking for profit and personal gain. I hate to call myself a hacker, i feel it's more of a term others should bestow upon you, that being said, i am in it for the knowledge and e-cred. If that means breaking the law, so be it.

...I thought this was a hat discussion... Not a hacker dick measuring contest. My hat is camouflage.

Hacker is a term that needs to be thrown out as meaningless. Outside of a narrow time and context there is no coherent definition that can be given and I think the desire to carry it on is a mix of childish and pathetic, especially among a certain demographic of young programmers who like such even cringier stylings as "rockstar" and "ninja". "code ninjas" need to fucking kill themselves.
The hat thing is kind of silly too. If we adhere to the MIT etymology and the definition of hacker that implies then "hat color" is incoherent, "hacker" describes a full human ethos and there is no room for hats, legality is incidental rather that essential. It would be like says "are you the kind of person who steps on aphids or ants when walking down the street", probably both but it means nothing. As far as I can tell the whole thing was invented by "white hat hackers" (aka salaried assholes) trying to cash in on the perceived (but in reality non-existant) sex appeal of the popular notion of the meaning of the term hacker.

hats are for faggots
the only people that seriously use the term are shit tech writers and people trying to sell places in 'ethical hacking' certs that show you how to install kali/backtrack/whatever they call it now and mean nothing

I am starting to think our friend Mr.High is in over his head.

Cringy nerds don't have a dick to measure by so.. I guess its gone to hat measuring. I always thought the hat color shit was stupid IMO- it brings to mind pimple faced dweebs wearing pointy gandalf hats. But hey.. god wants you to wear a hat so he's even got the cringe Lords of the interwebs doing it.

Oh and yeah.. I don't know much about much but first rule of doing big and bad deeds tends to be to not brag about it.. That's how you get caught. I'd be asking these questions before I got may ass in the 'drop your HD in a volcano' scenario regarding the thread about the FBI and HS.

Cats don't wear hats.. They also can't type. But when I smoke weed I can read and write in English meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow.

Uh.. What about puss in boots? That cat wore a hat. Let's discuss the type of hat worn rather than the color. My camo hat is a floppy sort of cowboy hat with a bolo I inherited from my dad. It is the epitome of cool. It used to be lined with tin foil at one time which added to its awesomeness. You wanna discuss tinfoil hats? My family wore tinfoil hats for like a month maybe more as an experiment. My ex and my grandmother suffered from migraines a lot and also we all would get strange ringing in our ears that would happen to all of us as the same time periodically. Their migraines were far less and we all didn't get the ringing in our ears unless someone forgot their hat. If we got ringing in our ears it would story shortly after we put on our hat. Not trying to be an all the way out there nutjob but I do think they got something going with tinfoil hats. People look at you funny though when you walk in a store wearing your carefully crafted tinfoil head piece though...

I'm currently wearing a black/grey Miami Marlins snapback. I got them in all colors and teams, though.
