Okay, so the guy is "black hat" and thinks people are a "sell out" because they are working nine to five and not hacking banks for a living? What is this shit?

Sorry, but to criticize bugtraqs when you don't have the capability to find bugs yourself is just crap. And, selling out of WHAT? Let me guess, the guy came into hacking believing all hackers all "evil" guys changing index.html for fifteen minutes. Script kiddies.

Anyway, why does anyone have to reside to this whole "white hat" "black hat" crap? Maybe I am "white hat", but not opposed to hacking out someone's location so I can ram their nose into their brain with my fist? Does that make me "white hat" but with a bit of badassness cause I think that vengaence is better served with a fist?

Also, what does hacking have to do with politics? Should more right leaning hackers be sell outs because they are not out robbing banks? Do they have to be extreme leftists to be in computer security? No. That is simply moronic and pretentious.

We need more knowledgable, effective people in computer security, professionally. To secure the world. Not to tear it down, as evil as it may be. We need less morons with merely college degrees and zero interest... and just as many less whom think changing index.html and DoS'n a website is the penultimate hacking adventure.
