Let's take the official one from Wikipedia is it's closer to the reality : The term "white hat" refers to an ethical computer hacker, or a computer security expert, who specializes in penetration testing and in other testing methodologies to ensure the security of an organization's information systems. This hacker act with the approbation/accord of the network, system, etc. owner in order to conduct his tests on the mentionned network and test it's security.

Award Whore - I will be the first one out of the majority of user's that have this award to say it, the goal isn't to achieve all awards. Being an award whore means you are constantly trying to get new awards. I have turned down several awards, and also had a few purposely removed. I'm sure that others would agree, to obtain all isn't the idea or goal.

DDoS - Distributed Denial of service attack.

Mining - Maintaining the block chain is called mining, and those who do are rewarded with newly created Coins* and transaction fees. Miners may be located anywhere in the world. Miners process payments by verifying each transaction as valid and adding it to the block chain.

A few other definitions are a bit off, but still get the point through. But as I said, if you plan on making a tutorial, make sure it's done right. If you were doing it for anything other than recognition, your pride in creating the guide would have deterred you from releasing it half finished. At least in my opinion. Nice job though, either way.

SF stands for SupportForums, another forum owned by Omni and dedicated to support and assistance in various domains. The Support Feather awards was given when you made 100 high quality posts on this forum.
