Well, there's always those people who don't like our "no illegal activities will be condoned" policy. If there weren't those incidents, we might not have had to enforce it as much.

I so thought he was gonna say hakforums or something lol. But "hail black hackers", sounds racist to me . I'm white so probably wouldn't be welcomed there much. Probably a failed attempt at promoting another site.

I was waiting for a notable hackforums mention as well haha. I'm more of a yellow hacker kind of guy; doubt I'd like this fellow.

Yellow...?

Well that's really interesting. Dubbing yourself a yellow hat
Think I need more popcorn

Also curious for the "yellow" definition. Although I think that the whole white/gray/black hat thing is mostly fail. I only ever say black hat to reference straight devious acts in the hacking world. Fact is we all fall into all of those categories... or we wouldn't be who we are.

By what I understand Yellow is a person who has claims to be a great hacker but is not and is motivated purely by money. The color relates to gold and therefore money.

But I may be wrong. Please correct me if I am.

Never mind I found a link. Seems to be the original source declaring the existence of Yellow hats

Yellow, the color of cowardice and piss.

Strong words really.

[not_essence2]

Oh, that's what a yellow hat is.

[xsvMix]

Not sure why you would want to call yourself that
Thread hijacked maybe

[not_essence2]

Well, it's not like we can use it for anything else.
I guess yellow hat is more of an insult.
