[quote="psmaster"]My school and a few friends pay me to hack their network and tell them about vulnerabilities and try to fix the holes in their security system. Does that make me a hacker? Yes it does. Does that make me a bad hacker? No it does not, I am a white hat, I hack for people, not against people, I am not black hat. As for some people, they are just ignorant as to what I do. I know many people who know what I do as a cheap service at school, and they ask for me to not hack them and put a virus on their computers (which there probably is with their apps, and most of the people run Vista, which I call the "Microsoft Virus") I say, if someone is too ignorant to realize that what I am doing is trying to provide help and not destruction, just let them think what they want![/quote]
