Graham references hackers in the white hat pursuit of knowledge not the black. Hackers currently defacing websites, stealing and corrupting our internet community are black hats. Many black hats turn white as well. White hat wearing individuals hack for knowledge. I.E. writing exploits against a popular platform such as windows is to expose vulnerabilities, so they can be secured. That is a good thing, its when those exploits are used for bad, not to educate or prevent, but to create chaos by using them for unauthorized access.. In my online world, I learn from black hats. With methods such as IDS (intrustion detection) and such. The bait and switch routine is quite popular.. grant them access and watch what they do with it.. This could be a long discussion -- they are not inspirations, they're merely tools for learning. I believe and feel like I use black hat hackers as tools, as mentioned my Graham to learn and further my education. Without the "corruption" we have from blacks, its a slow learning curve.. they really raise the bar. I’m not sure if we are on the same page in terms of the actual word, “hacker.”

My question then is...Does the hacker community take any steps to bring down these bad guys or are they just inspirational?
