What Kind Of Hacker Are You?

In classifying and regarding yourself as one type of hacker, one limits themselves in the fields that they can go down. Although from time to time I engage in legitimate blackhat activity, I also aid others removing infections. As well as that, I consider myself to be an elite social engineer, and occasionally a green hat. What am I then? A rainbow hat? No, classifying yourself induces more negatives than it does positives.

I agree. A great hacker is a mix of everything. This is just a thread to show the newbies what's out there.
I'm a grey hat, if somebody violates me; I'm probably going to try and do harm to their site, but if its a random site and it has an exploit I'd just report it to the owner to patch it up.

Hope to see many white hats here.

Very insightful, remind me not to mess with you.
I like to call myself a Greyhat, because it makes me think twice about my actions before executing them.
I'd prefer myself to be classified as a Greyhat as I do both whitehat and blackhat activities.

It's about moral, ethics, not skill limitation. Your actions are always driven by your personality and motives, this also applies on hacking. There's nothing bad about limitation: Knowing your limits is the first step at defining yourself. The man is limitless, true, but that's only after he breaks his already-known limits, and goes farther. But then again, are those limits we are interested in crossing?
I strive to be WH because morals, it helps me sleep at night.

There's some truth in this statement. But then again: Life is full of people not being who they claim to be. Security managers, SysAdmins, Networking managers and generally lots of people from the IT industry are only there because of favoritism and not skill. You can see it the most on tech stores; everything is bullshit.
You could say I'm a mix of an "Elite Hacker" and a "Green Hat Hacker".
I mainly hack to gain money from it.

I have better things to do and I don't consider myself a Skid at all! But you are right 99.99% of the members in this forum are skids.

But the 1% remaining are the true hackers.
I'm sort of a White/Grey Hat.
