I would like to hear what every one knows about hackers. Or if you have had any contact with them. Do you know a black hat from a white hat? Have you done any hacking?

Years and years (and years...) ago, I did a fair amount of hacking - breaking into remote computers, disassembling programs, etc. At the time, we were proud that there was a difference between hackers (benign/white hat) and crackers (malignant/black hat). We were just thrilled with the power computers gave us and wanted to share information - any information - with the rest of the world. We didn't want to hurt or ruin anyone, we just believed that it was wrong to charge exhorbitant prices for software.
